\n<\/a>Irish Barmbrack<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis loaf is traditionally eaten on Halloween where rings, coins, and other small treasures are often baked inside for children to find. It’s delicious any time of the year, but is often called \u201ctea brack\u201d after October.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Dublin Coddle<\/a><\/strong>
