Barnbrack (or Barmbrack) is a traditional fruit bread, eaten in Ireland at festive seasons. As usual, there are numerous variations on the recipe, a typical one is here: http://www.elegantplus.com/Cooking/Oct.htm

At Hallowee'n, traditional symbols such as a ring for romance, would be baked into the loaf. Another custom at New Year (in some areas) was for the first piece cut from the loaf to be thrown on the floor - or out of the doorway - to symbolically cast out hunger from the house during the year to come.

Typical Dublin recipe, the Dublin Coddle (from http://www.thatsmyhome.com )

  • 1 lb. good-quality pork sausages
  • 1 lb. bacon
  • 6 onions
  • 8 to 10 potatoes
  • 1/4 C. chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 C. chicken stock

Preheat oven to 350°F. Warm sausages thoroughly in a heavy skillet, cooking on medium high for about 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and cut sausages into 2-inch pieces. Place them in a large casserole. Fry bacon until crisp. Slice the onions thickly and cube the potatoes.

Layer these on top of the sausages. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle in the parsley.

Cover it all with the 2 cups stock. Break up the bacon pieces and scatter on top. Cover the casserole dish and bake at 350°F. for one hour.

Serve hot.

Serves 6 - 8.

I'm not much of a cook myself, but I found the following recipe at http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/verona/190/eten.htm
A bit weird to call this a local dish, since over here we call it 'Chinese', but it's actually the Dutch version of Indonesian food. Get it? No? Good. Personally, I prefer this with pieces of chicken breast in hot peanut sauce ('sateh ajam').
