Mucbipollo (Pib de pollo) · Mérida
Mucbipollo is a large Yucatecan tamale of chicken and pork in achiote, wrapped in banana leaves and traditionally buried-baked in an earth oven on Hanal Pixán (Day of the Dead) for the souls of the departed.
Mucbipollo is the central food of Hanal Pixán, the Yucatán Day of the Dead (October 31 to November 2). The Maya word 'muc' means to bury; 'bil' is the verb to cook in the ground. Communities buried the pib oven on the day, fed it from above, and revealed the tamal as a feast for both living and dead. The tradition continues every Hanal Pixán in Mérida.
