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