Think we had those - food was great. Ended up drinking some cucumber-tasting concoction which was delicious.

It's like a tartare type thing, lamb, onions, spices, etc not cooked in the oven, just in the fridge. Goes great with tabouli. There's also a cooked version, like a meatloaf. Often if they have it in restaurants it's served as like a kofte

'Straya

I guess that person doesn't celebrate any other festivals/ holidays that stem from celtic traditions.

To be fair I used to think somewhat like that, but now IDGAF if kids are enjoying themselves.

[barbarian]

Same people will then bemoan why nobody knows their neighbours these days, kids spend too much time inside playing computer games, what happened to 'it takes a village' etc etc etc

[voodoo]

I’m down with Halloween, love seeing the young kids dress up and wander the streets

Not so down with the greedy fucken teenagers who raid the loot taking handfuls at a time. They need to be lynched

[Nepia]

Halloween was pretty big in the provinces in the 80s when I was a kid so I've always made sure I've been stocked up as an adult - but the amount of trick or treaters dwindled over the years.

Odd than an Aussie is complaining about the US, Oz is more of a little wanna be US than most countries.

Amen Nepia!!

[Bovidae]

There is an etiquette for Halloween in the US (lights on), which doesn't work in the SH because of the season. Tell the little fuckers to play a trick and you'll get blank looks.

Previous village I lived in, 3-4 adults dressed up as vampires, witches and zombies and joined in the fun. Made sure the kids knew it was happening - the dressed-up adults wandered around the churchyard and played spooky music/effects.

Was really great and brought people together.

We ran out of treats two years ago. I was astonished at how popular it was in my area.

[dogmeat]

I always have treats out in a bowl by the front door but not one has been taken in the last 5 years. Then I discovered there's a neighbourhood WhatsApp group dedicated to complaining about me.
