Fiambre - Our Guatemalan All Saint's Day Tradition

| 1 Comment

I just wanted to share with you the traditional dish that we prepare to celebrate All Saint's Day every November 1st. Traditionally known as the "Day of the Dead", the meal is prepared weeks in advance and it takes a lot of work of slicing and dicing. Many people take the meal to the cemetery to share a plat of Fiambre with the ir passed loved ones.

Another amazing tradition is the flying of the giant kites in Sumpango, which is also a celebration and remembrance of the dead.
