Oh yeah, Ronald Hutton goes into the poor begging food 'for the dead' at All Hallow's Eve.
Also, a friend of mine who grew up in Scotland, remembers hollowing out *Turnips* at Hallowe'en, and putting a candle in them. The kids would hold them and keep their hands warm. By the end of the night the candle had cooked the turnip, and they'd eat it :)
