Speciale Halloween: insalata di occhi (eyes salad)

Halloween is an holiday observed on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic period when the Celts celebrated the end of the lighter half of the year and the beginning of the darker half, symbolically the border between the living and the dead world. With the coming of Christianity this celebration coincides with the All Saints' and All Souls' Day.

In this day, at sunset, children go in costume to exorcise death from house to house asking "Trick or treat", threating to perform mischief on the homeowners if no treat is given.

Halloween is also associated with pumpkins which formely were placed in doors or windows to ward off evil spirits.
