'Remember, remember the 5th of November. Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!'
This has to be the most popular version of the 17th Century event which rocked England's establishment and ever since has been taught in primary schools across the country and memorised by every school child ever since!
There were eight members in the group of men who made up the Gunpowder Plot Conspirators and their leader was Robert Catesby. However, the name that schoolchildren know and by far the most famous of the men who has come down the centuries has to be Guy Fawkes.
The original poem was written to serve as a warning to future generations that the conspirators received such harsh and brutal sentences, that such treason would not be contemplated or attempted again. The tradition of children stuffing a guy and asking for a penny from passers-by is now firmly associated with Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot, although its roots are in a much more ancient tradition.
The word 'guy' used to mean effigy or dummy in the 13th century and bonfires which included 'guys' played a key role in Pagan and other ancient religions when the first of November signified the beginning of the Pagan year and the start of winter. Bonfires were built, torches were lit and 'guys' were burnt to ward away any evil spirits
Fireworks entered the party almost immediately, as they had been introduced to England by Henry VIII and the monarchy had used them since then in celebrations for great occasions and so served to make the 5th November a night to be remembered even more.
In modern times, Bonfire Night is a time associated with outdoor parties with the focal point being the traditional bonfire in the middle of a large open space and the all-important guy on the top. Lots of noisy, bright fireworks light up the sky and are sure to get plenty of claps and cheers from all the spectators.
Most important of all to get the party atmosphere going is lots of fun foods and great party drinks. The food wants to be the kind that can be held in one hand, while keeping the other hand spare to either hold onto a child or a glass of wine or beer.
And because it's officially autumn and probably a chilly night, the best kind foods to have at a bonfire party are hot spicy sausages in rolls with home-made relishes or mustard. Children and adults alike can enjoy a warming cup of soup made from the flesh of the pumpkin that's been used as a lantern. Freshly made beef burgers with different toppings of cheese or bacon are easy to prepare and equally easy to eat.
Drinks that go well with hot sausages or burgers have to be good red wines. A juicy Californian Merlot is a great choice as the large amounts of sunshine produces Californian wines which are full of flavour to complement the meat, however if going for Californian wines, even a Rose such as a Grenache can go really well with bonfire food.
For people with a sweet tooth at bonfires, then cinder toffee or Yorkshire Parkin make great treats and the must have wine with the parkin has to be a fruity Pinot Grigio. The California wine theme can be carried on with your choice of white wine as well, as the Pinot Grigio wines from California have plenty of fruity flavours to complement the sweetness of the Parkin.
Above all on Bonfire Night - Stay safe!
Celebrate the night by watching some great fireworks with a glass of Californian wine, if you are organising it all then make sure you buy wine online.
