It is a tradition to have a 'brack' at Halloween and for that occasion little items, covered in greaseproof paper, are placed into the unbaked mixture before putting it in the oven. In Ireland we always had a 'Gold Ring' (a curtain ring) in the brack. The person who picked the slice with the ring was supposed to be the next one to be married! Hi Nancy,

I just looked it up and the recipe I saw said that you were supposed to bake several items inside the Brack. Like a coin or a cloth or a pea or even a thimble or button or matchstick..... What is that all about? Today is what you would call a Bank Holiday over here . It's called Labor Day and honors all the workers .Last day of our traditional Summer. Positively last day for white shoes! All really important stuff like that. Good Morning, Grannymar,
