Halloween around the world

Does anybody have any specila food or traditions linked to Halloween? I'd love to know!

Pumpkin soup

We normally have pumpkin soup at halloween... Its delicious, it sounds like it wouldnt be but honestly its like eating heaven if you do it right. Staying on the pumpkin theme you could also have pumpkin pie, Ive never tried it but it is supposed to be delicious. More of an american Thanksgiving thing though. THen again Halloween is american as well so who cares right? ALso i also went to a restaurant where they had made some ghost figures with which chocolate which was obviously very simple but v. good
Hope I helped a bit. xx
P.S. if you have children you could do things like apple bobbing and make cakes and things into something halloweenish. Theres some really good ideas for this in childrens cookery books xx

In england...

Halloween seems to be a more American thing, wheras for us English it's more traditional to have Guy Fawkes' night (Remember Remember the Fifth of November, Gunpowder Treason and Plot!). Fireworks, bonfires etc etc. We eat parkin cake (a very heavy ginger sponge cake) and treacle toffees.

Toasted marshmallow is also fairly common at this time I think. Try squishing a toasted marshmallow between two chocolate digestives (chocoalte inwards so it melts) - so bad for you but absolutely divine! Takes me back to having barbeques with our Brown Owl at Brownies...

You will be disapointed !

In France, Halloween is a recent discovery, so people just copy what is done in other countries, dress up as ghosts and witches, and kids tour the neighborhood asking for candy. It never really took among grownups, and many people don't approve, especially those who go to church regularly.
Traditionally, on November 1st and 2nd, French people visit the graves of their relatives ( churchyards tend to stay open later on those days ), and decorate them with flowers, mostly chrysanthemums. Most people used to do it until a few years ago, but nowadays,I hear chrysantemums are being sold for gardens and balconies !
