- Serves 7
Be sure to cut a slice for the Bandruhude (Bean-sidhe). Wrap the slice up well and store until next Samhain, to insure the Bandruhude is honoured and does not carry off a member of the household during the new year (Bury the year old slice ritually, and honourably, on Nov. Read more 1st. This "sacrifice" is said to appease the Bandruhude.) See less
