An Irish soda bread made with dried fruit, especially raisins and currants, sometimes spiced.
From Irish 'brac' meaning 'speckled,' referring to the speckled appearance of the bread from its dried fruit. Also spelled 'barm brack' from 'barm' (yeast).
Brack at Halloween used to contain hidden objects—a ring meant marriage, a coin meant wealth, a stick meant hardship—turning bread into a fortune-telling game.
