“As November approaches, throughout Mexico and in Mexican-American homes it’s Bread of the Dead time.

The food is an essential part of festivities surrounding Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Celebrated Nov. 1 and 2, the feast mixes the solemnity of a holy day with the spirit and humor of a family reunion.

Finding the bread in a Mexican home “is like Thanksgiving day and turkey here in the United States,” said Fernando Berrum, the executive sous chef at the Grand Victoria Casino and a graduate of Elgin Community College’s culinary arts program.”
