    as taking an apple out of a dish of flour and taking a sixpence out of a tub of water. A barm brack is eaten for the supper and usually in it there are the following:- a stick, a ring, a rag, a pea and a bean. Whoever gets the stick he or she will beat his or her wife or husband and whoever gets the ring will soon be married. The pea is a sign of poverty and the bean is a sign of riches.
