Barmbrack or brack is a traditional Irish fruitcake or fruit bread. It was traditionally served at Halloween but is now eaten all year round. It is traditional to add objects to the barmbrack that symbolize certain things to the person who receives it in their slice: a coin — wealth or good fortune; a ring — will marry within the year; a bean — poverty; a pea — will not marry within the year; a matchstick — unhappy marriage; a thimble — single for life.
