    hello
    yes in October in Mexico is celebrated the day of the dead and there a lot of special food and breads to eat, you buy in many markets little skulls made of sugar or chocolate with your name on it.
    The bread is very tasty and has a decorations of bones on top.
    the people goes to the cemeteries and live flowers and many people still live altars with food and fruit for the love ones on that day
    her is a link may be helpful to you.

    I don’t know if this is what you need to know, but our basic food continues to be the same as it was for the aztecs and other indigenous groups: beans, corn (and all that can be made with it, such as tortillas), fruits, and of course now it has a lot of influence from the Spanish culture as well.

    On the Day of the Dead people make temporary ’shrines’ where they place pictures of the people in their lives that have passed on to the next world. On these altars, or shrines (not sure how to translate it), we place foods that our loved ones enjoyed to honor them and remind them of home.
