Typically men get together on the night of the 11th to celebrate in the pubs and around bonfires. Children on the day of the parade sometimes purchase special cakes from stands and meals outdoors along the route have been reported. The roasting of potatoes and the consumption of hot meat pies is noted......On the 12th families enjoy large meals which are traditional for Sunday consumption- a roast potatoes and veg but the rest is a virtual unknown. If you can shed light on the dietary customs of the 12th please e. mail me click here.
