GETTING READY FOR FIAMBRE

This is the week of anticipation to the Day of the Dead, November 1st and one of the most waited upon dishes of people in Guatemala City.

I have often compared the "1ero de Noviembre" to Thanksgiving in the sense of family thinking of ancestors around a wonderful meal.

I will blog more about the dish and the day but for now I leave you with the big display of the meats being sold for the fiambre, which a lot of them can only be found during this time.

Querida amiga... ya se me hace agua la boca con el fiambre...
También es el día de los barriletes gigantes y de fiesta en el cementerio.
Qué lindo post.
