Halloween

Yes, I know Halloween is such an un-European event. Actually a few years ago, the retailers tried to impose that on European consumers because they thought they could make a lot of money out of it... Shops were full of scary, orange (i have nothing against that...) and funny stuffs. Even the little retailers had Halloween things all over their shops. But after 2-3 years, they realised that the consumers were not so keen anymore. Halloween has no historical roots, no tradition here. So, now it is much more discreet. But still, there is a Halloween-fan group in the region. The hosts know how to make us feel welcome!
And once inside, it is nice and warm with lots of typical Halloween products, including marshmallows, pumpkin soup and jelly. If you think you could come out of this supper without having gained 3-4 kilos, you would be so absolutely wrong!
Last but not least, some people still do not know that Halloween has nothing to do with happy feet. Actually I should not be too harsh on them since I was not disguised as well. But just have a look at them... can I hear you laugh?
