Ruth -

I found a recipe for Guy Fawkes Day cake (maybe in The Joy of Cooking).  Mr.
englishman himself had never heard of such a thing.  He chalked it up to the
Americans always finding a reason to bake a cake.  Being as he is very much
in sweets, I asked him what was he complaining about - at least it isn't
doused in cheese.

Hi Mike,  I know about Boxing Day and Hogmany, I worked with two Englishmen
and a Scotsman for several years.  I picked their brains about the
different traditions and holidays every chance I got.  I like Guy Fawkes
day the best I think.  I'm only 2 generations away from Scotland myself on
my Mom's side so these things really interest me.  Ruth
