Pumpkins!
Irish children used to
carve out potatoes or turnips and light them for their Halloween gatherings.
They commemorated Jack, a shifty Irish villain so wicked that neither God
nor the Devil wanted him. Rejected by both the sacred and profane, he wandered
the world endlessly looking for a place to rest, his only warmth a glittering
candle in a rotten turnip.
