Barmbrack.

I've just eaten a whole barmbrack, no ring, stick, bean, pea or rag, zilch.
I feel I've been ripped off, plus I'm feeling sick.

Ah you should have tried a Barnbrack...they are much better imo

Maybe you ate it? Check your poo in the next couple of days.

I don't think they all have a ring - unless they say it on the wrapping.

You probably ate a Barm Cake.
Was it nice?

Lovely stuff.

If there's no ring in your brack it means you've been marked for death this Halloween.

You better check your ring in the morining in case the ring gets stuck in your ring!!

You ate a full one hoping that you'd be guaranteed the ring, with marriage down the line, but it didn't happen.

These things don't lie, OP. You've missed your chance for good.

Probably don't include rings any more due to health & safety madness. Society has to protect its idiots after all.

I've been down the marriage route before, no luck there I'm afraid.
I was hoping for riches or at least the stick so that I could use it for some self discipline.

its not madness, a young child could easily choke on them..i'm amazed they're allowed put them in to be honest

I bought my first ever brack today. Didn't know about this ring stuff either.

Stick your finger up your hole in the morning and it will come out with a ring on it.

Sounds like something Bi-Polar Joe would do.

Ah Barnbrack. I remember for the first 1 or 2 years in primary school around Halloween the teacher would bring in some and give a slice to everyone in the class.

I was a coeliac so couldn't eat it, so she would give me a slice anyway to rummage through and see if I got the ring.:pac:

If you buy a Halloween Brack, advertised as being a Halloween Brack and having a ring in it, it's hardly any surprise that's it's going to contain a ring!!!!

I'm too fat to reach, would anybody oblige, I'd let them keep the ring.

Growing up my dad used to slice the barnbrack so the youngest of the family would get the ring. Miss those times

When I first moved to Ireland my brother and I used to think it was called boring brack.

I couldn't fathom why everyone got excited about something that was meant to be boring.

Because the commercial variant in no way bears any similarity to the real thing which is fantastic.

Find a genuine old recipe and make it at home and add a coin, ring whatever

The homemade version is fantastic - you bought the pretend one

I suppose you didn't know any better though..

yes i know its no surprise that it contains a ring:rolleyes:

but that doesn't get away from the fact that its still a hazard... a young child could easily choke on one...well couldn't they???

this kind of attitude is why we cant have nice things anymore. If youre afraid of a child choking on it then dont let the child have it.

That's why children are supervised by their parents, minders etc when playing, outdoors, indoors etc

If you wish to feed Barnbrack to your kids then you supervise and knowing that there is a ring in the cake act with forethought as you are the responsible adult

in the perfect world that would be the case.....but you can just imagine the scenario of a busy mum or dad rushed off their feet inadvertently giving their child a slice of brack with a ring in it...could easily happen is all that i'm saying:cool:

homeless student

hate brack, can never enjoy it fully as I keep thinking im gonna break my teeth on the tacky ring they put in it.and before anyone says then dont buy it, I dont, but as I like it, I take it when its offered to me because I like it.

I remember giving a slice to a foreign friend of mine who had never seen the likes. when he started choking I told him there might be a ring in the cake.
