If you have been paying enough attention to the decoration of your local shops and bakeries, you already know it: Halloween is just around the corner!
Also known as All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, Halloween is widely recognized for being a season populated by vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches and black cats. But it is also known, especially in North America, for "Trick-or-Treating", a tradition in which children go from house to house in search of candy and other goodies.
But of course: Halloween is also for adults. By now, you probably have plans to join a costume party, or maybe you're even thinking about hosting one... Whatever the case, Neuman's Kitchen, a New York-based catering company, has the perfect menu for this terrifying night!
