Hi floss,

Bonfire night isn't celebrated here so we don't do anything, but there are lots ideas on this thread:

Menu for bonfire night?

Where is here to you?

I know they don't celebrate it in Ireland.

I don't cook anything special.

we usually go out for bonfire night and and go down the beach to watch the fireworks, when we get bach we usually have something like Hotdogs & Jacket Potatos!..
i cant wait for bonfire night lol:j

I just cook a normal tea as we no longer go to stand in the cold grassy/muddy field so the children can take part in the torch light walk before the firework display. Now I have a hot chocolate and watch the fireworks from an upstairs window.

I am Irish and we celebrate Halloween on the 31st, not bonfire on the 5th November. We have spiced pumpkin soup, sausages/mash/onion gravy and apple pie for desert. My mum always made apple pie for us as children and I make it now in her memory.
Some of my best childhood memories are of Halloween.

I make HM baked beans, sausages (HM this year ) and baked potatoes. We then have HM parkin (must make this soon ) and HM treacle toffee or HM toffee apples.

The bonfire display in our local town is fabulous, funded by the Town Council, with donations to the Mayor's charity :j We go every year :T then eat when we get back.

When I was a child growing up in Lancashire we used to have parching peas, which were served in a cone of paper and eaten like you would peanuts or popcorn. I haven't seen them in years. I wonder if you can still get them?
