Everything about Fiambre totally explained
Fiambre is a traditional food from
Guatemala that's eaten on November 1st and 2nd. Guatemala, like many other Catholic countries, celebrates the
Day of the Dead (
Día de los Difuntos) and the
All Saints Day (
Día de los Santos). It is a salad, served chilled, and may be made up from over 50 ingredients.
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. As all different families brought food to the celebrations, they became mixed, eventually mixing them together to this all-encompassing salad. Ingredients usually include numerous cold cuts and sausages, pickled baby-corn and onion, beets,
pacaya flower, different cheeses, olives, chicken, and sometimes even
brussel sprouts or shrimp.
This dish varies from family to family, recipes traditionally passed on to younger generations. Because of this, on the Day of The Dead, it's customary to share your
fiambre with other families and relatives.
