Let's eat PIB: the Day of the Dead tamale!
On this tour you will have the experience of cooking and eating the traditional dish for the Day of the Dead: PIB, a tamale that is cooked underground.
Before cooking this tamale, we'll go to the market to buy some ingredients and then cook this dish. This tamale is a flavor bomb: corn, lard, chiles, tomatoes, onions, pork and chicken, and local beans. It can also be vegetarian, so don't worry!
PIB: is a word of Mayan origin, which means “cooking underground” and is a deeply rooted method in Yucatan and especially in Mayan communities.
