In Ireland, we find the true origins of Halloween. In fact, the word is a Scottish contraction of the English phrase All Hallows 'Even', which means 'All Hallows' Eve'.
Irish immigrants brought this celebration to North American countries and from there it spread to the rest of the world.
Therefore, we pay special attention to the gastronomy of Halloween in this place.

In addition, Boxty, an Irish potato pie, is also popular. The sweet sensation is provided by spirit cakes, which are cookies traditionally used to symbolize the souls emerging from purgatory.
