Chinese people seldom pay attention to Halloween, and a little Halloween knowledge of Chinese people immediately associates with pumpkins. In fact, Halloween is far more than pumpkins!
We say that Halloween Eve, the day before Halloween, October 31, is a traditional festival in the western world. The celebrations are usually in the evening. Mainly prevalent in the Saxon descendants of the United States, the British Islands, Australia, Canada and New Zealand and other Western countries.
That night, children will wear makeup clothes, masks, go door to door collecting candy and so on.
Traditionally, Europe considers Halloween the closest time in the spiritual world. This legend is similar to East Asia's Zhongyuan Festival and Yulan Festival. Anoka, Minnesota, is known as the "capital of Halloween in the world" and celebrates a large-scale cruise every year at this time.

What do you usually eat on Halloween? Halloween has the following main foods:
Halloween Eve food：toffee apples
As Halloween is approaching the harvest of apples, toffee apples have become a holiday food. The method is to insert an apple into a bamboo stick, then hold the bamboo stick and turn the apple in the toffee syrup, sometimes sticking the nuts again. In the past, families prepared toffee apples for children, but when it was rumored that some people put pins and blades into apples, the habit of sending toffee apples gradually disappeared. Although most of the cases are just hoaxes and the real cases are minor injuries, many parents still think that it is very common to put razors in apples.
Halloween Eve food：pumpkin pie
Pumpkin pie is a Halloween holiday food, especially in the United States. Pumpkin pie is a traditional home snack from late autumn to early winter in the southern United States. It is usually eaten, especially around Halloween, and becomes a kind of food for the occasion. In addition, dried pumpkin seeds are often used as Halloween food.
Halloween Eve food：Hot apple Siddle
Children and teenagers will dress up as ghosts and ask for candy along the street on Halloween Night, so all kinds of candies are also a kind of food for the occasion. At this time, candies sold in stores are more popular in all kinds of ghost-shaped candies, and candies packaged in orange, brown or black, which are common on Halloween Night.

This drink is made by boiling cider with cinnamon, cloves and sugar. Alcohol is almost volatile when heated. This beverage is popular in winter in Europe and the United States. We drink hot red wine all the way from Christmas to spring. It is quite similar in practice, that is, to change cider into red wine.
Halloween Eve food：candy
In China, many people think that Halloween is ghost's day, which is basically correct. No matter what festivals, they should be celebrated happily. Maybe it's a reason for people to find entertainment for themselves.【written by gmtlight， Mr Hope Niu】
中国人很少关注万圣节，稍微有万圣节知识的中国人立马就联想到南瓜。实际上，万圣节可远远不止南瓜哦！
我们说说万圣节前夜，万圣节的前一天，即每年的10月31日，是西方世界的传统节日，庆祝活动一般在晚上。主要流行于撒克逊人后裔云集的美国、不列颠群岛、澳大利亚、加拿大和新西兰等西方国家。当晚小孩会穿上化妆服，戴上面具，挨家挨户收集糖果等。
欧洲传统上认为万圣节前夜是灵异世界最接近人间的时间，这传说与东亚的中元节与盂兰节类似。美国明尼苏达州的阿诺卡（Anoka）号称是“世界万圣节之都”，每年此时都举行大型的巡游庆祝。
万圣节一般吃什么？
中国人认为万圣节的主要食品是南瓜，嘿嘿！
万圣节主要有以下一些食品：
万圣夜食品之一：太妃糖苹果
百度资料显示：由于万圣夜临近苹果的丰收期，太妃糖苹果（toffee apples）成为应节食品。制法是把苹果插上竹签，然后手持竹签把苹果放在太妃糖浆中转动，有时会再粘上果仁。从前，各家各户会准备太妃糖苹果送给小孩，但当传闻有人把大头针和刀片放入苹果中，送太妃糖苹果的习惯逐渐消失。虽然大部分个案只是恶作剧，而真实个案中小孩也只是受轻伤，但是不少家长仍然以为在苹果中放刀片是十分普遍的。
南瓜派
百度百科显示，南瓜派是万圣夜的节庆食品，特别是在美国。南瓜派是美国南方的深秋到初冬的传统家常点心，平常就有在吃，特别在万圣夜的前后，成为一种应景的食物。另外烘乾的南瓜子也是常被当做万圣夜的食品。
百度百科显示，这种饮料是用苹果酒加热再加入肉桂、丁香、糖熬煮而成，酒精在加热时已经挥发得差不多了。这种饮料在欧美的冬天都很盛行，一路喝过圣诞节到春天，热红酒也常常在这个时候喝，做法颇为类似，就是把苹果酒换成红酒。
糖果
百度百科显示，万圣夜晚上小孩子和青少年都会化妆成鬼怪沿街要糖果，因此各种糖果也算是应景食品的一种，这时候商店里卖的糖果较受欢迎的是各种鬼怪造型的糖、和以万圣夜常见的橘色、棕色或黑色为包装的糖。
