Holidays are definitely the time for families, whether it be Thanksgiving,
Christmas, or even Halloween. So why don't you add some Irish food and fare to your holiday this year?
Colcannon is served on Halloween but is also
very popular year 'round. Another Irish custom on Halloween is to wrap coins in baking paper and place them
in the potato for children to find and keep.
