We place all things on a table where this dishes, some fruit, candies and all kind of drinks stand by until afternoon, since the dead ones come to eat and drink after they had this long walking from the beyond. My grandmother says that some people say that after they &quot;eat&quot; what&#39;s on the table, we are supposed to eat it, but all will be tasteless, since they already took the flavor of food with them. I have never corroborated this. </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://payton.vox.com/library/post/qotd-d%C3%ADa-de-los-muertos.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398b95aa8000300e398b948c50002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> qotd holiday día de los muertos
