Kornigou Explained

Kornigou
Type:Cake
Main Ingredient:Fruit, spices

Kornigou are cakes baked in the shape of antlers to commemorate the god of winter shedding his "cuckold" horns as he returns to his kingdom in the Otherworld.[1] This tradition is typically upheld in Celtic households in Brittany and is enacted during Samhain (Halloween). It is a distinctly Pagan tradition which continues to this day.

The kornigou cake was made by the ancient Celts, over 2000 years ago. It is traditionally made of fruit and spices.
