As well as burning effigy of Guy Fawkes, the bonfires are used to cook potatoes wrapped in foil and to heat up soup for the crowds that come to watch the fireworks.
The traditional cake eaten on bonfire night is the Bonfire toffee, a sticky cake containing a mix of oatmeal, ginger, treacle and syrup. The toffee tastes very strongly of molasses (black treacle), and cheap versions can be quite bitter.
Other foods include sausages cooked over the flames and marshmallows toasted in the fire.
