Fiambre

Fiambre is a traditional Guatemalan salad that is prepared and eaten yearly to celebrate the Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) and the All Saints Day (Spanish: Día de Todos los Santos).

Fiambre started out from the tradition in Guatemala of taking dead family members their favorite dishes to the cemeteries for the Day of the Dead.

Ingredients usually include numerous sausages and cold cuts, pickled baby corn and onion, beets, pacaya flower, different cheeses, olives, chicken, and sometimes even Brussels sprouts.

Because of this, on the Day of the Dead, it is customary to share fiambre with other families and relatives.
