Irish Food
Barmbrack
Generally served toasted with butter as part of afternoon tea, this leavened, flattened round bread is not quite as sweet as cake, but has added sultanas (a pale green grape) and raisins to add flavor and texture. As an Irish Halloween custom, barmbrack is backed with small tokens embedded inside, and each charm found foretells the future for the finder. The name barmback come from the Gaelic báirín, meaning "loaf," and breac, which means "speckled" referring to the raisins in the bread.
