中华资源库 ziyuanku.comIf you visit a small town in the southwest of the country,you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs,then fill them with tar(焦油) and set them on fire.And in Lewes,a town in the southern English county of Sussex,different groups of bonfire societies parade(游行) the streets,each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot(吉祥物),which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.
Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”,a dish made from slowcooked beef mince,tomatoes,kidney beans,onions,and spices.It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese.It’s not the most elegant dish in the world but it’s sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.
But for many Britons,the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee(太妃糖)”,which is also known as “plot toffee”,named after Guy Fawkes’ plot to blow up parliament.The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.
