The typical dish for All Saints Day on November first in Guatemala is called Fiambre. Fiambre is a cold salad and can be made from over 50 ingredients. It is kind of like the Guatemalan version of a chopped salad. Families usually have their own versions of fiambre, but ingredients can include: meats including cold cuts, pickled vegetables, beets, pacaya flowers, cheeses, olives, eggs, corn, radishes, or many other ingredients.
