Happy Halloween, everyone! The veggie shops are overflowing with lovely orange pumpkins in Budapest, I just bought one today but instead carving a jack-o’-lantern out of it, I used it for cooking a warming pumpkin soup. We do not celebrate Halloween in Hungary, although some Halloween traditions are beginning to creep in due to the mass popularization of this typically American festival.
We do celebrate All Saints’ Day (1st November) though by going to the cemetery and lighting candles at the graves to remember our loved ones who passed away.
If kids are trick-or-treating at your door and you are at a loss as to how to deal with the situation, this sketch might come in handy: A bit of Fry and Laurie – Halloween
