My Samhain Feast... And, it truly WAS a feast, ~ none of this little holiday dinner la-da-da, where only only main dish like turkey is made!... My usual menu for the Samhain Feast, ~ pot roast with carrots, onions, potatoes, and turnips ( I make mine in the crockpot with burgundy wine and fresh basil, fresh dill and fresh oregano), lasagna, mac & cheese, mushroom, vegs & sausage pizza (frozen from the grocer), tossed salad (with lots of black olives), carrot & raisin salad (because it's black and orange), garlic stuffed olives, deviled eggs (because Hades is such a darling!), baked sweet potatoes (because vegs that grow underground are traditional for Samhain), stewed apples (because apples are scared to the Lady, and there are always fresh apples at the Samhain Feast too), garlic bread, pumpernickel bread (because it's black) with cream cheese, chocolate cake and/or dark fudge brownies with chocolate chips, blackberry pie (because it's black and because of the fey, especially the Samhain Phooka, of course; he just loves blackberries!!!), apple cider and/or ginger ale and root beer for the kids, red and rose wine and ale for the adults. Yes, I would be cooking for days!!!... So worth it!!!

The Phooka...
>>>
Yes... The Great Phooka is an Irish fey (Above is one representation of him. Some say he is horse-like, other say he's like a goat, or like a cat, or a mix of all of them.)
And, then, there are smaller pookas. But, all of pooka-kind just positively love berries. Even though berries may still be on the bushes after Michaelmas (September 29th), it's unwise to pick them, because the pookas piss and spit on them after that time!!!... 😉
