What if we tell you today about a salad from Latin America? This is a traditional dish of Guatemala, Fiambre, which is associated with the dead people.  Surprised? Oh, yes ! Fiambre is eaten in the memory of the beloved ones, who have passed away. Not every day. But on 1^st and 2^nd November specially, on the eve of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Difuntos) and the All Saints Day (Día de los Santos).

The recipe of Fiambre is not same as it varies from people to people. Some people prepare Fiambre with fish, others use blood sausage in it. But all of them have some basics in common. It is essentially a pickled dish of many meats, cheeses, vegetables and canned goods, made into an elegant salad. The ingredients of Fiambre might be in number, 40 up to 50. Fiambre is an expensive dish, serving and sharing of which is a customary tradition of the people of Guatemala. The families are gathered in the cemeteries and clean the graves of their loved ones. They perform prayers and also put fresh flowers on the graves. They leave a dish of Fiambre along with a bottle of rum or cusha (local illegal liquor) for their deceased to feast on later. There are various types of Fiambre, a traditional dish of Guatemala, such as el tradicional (traditional), el dulce (sweet), el “divorciado“ (divorced), el blanco (white) and el rojo (red).
