Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night is a celebration in the UK on the night of the fifth of November to celebrate that Guy Fawkes and his catholic friends couldn´t set the Westminster Palace, the Parliament, on fire.
So, to celebrate that the King was saved from the fire, people in England burn the image of Guy Fawkes in bonfires and watch fireworks. The day before, the children ask for money for the fireworks as they shout: “penny for the guy”.
There are typical dishes such as candy apples, jacket potatoes, black peas with vinegar or the bonfire toffee among others.
