Day of the dead
Celebrate Day of the Dead with flavourful Mexican inspiration!
Celebrated on 1st and 2nd November, Day of the Dead is a time-honoured Mexican tradition where families come together to remember their deceased loved ones. Food is central to the event, and you can bring this cultural celebration to life on your menus with Tilda rice.
Mexican food is already popular, with 44% of consumers engaging with the cuisine.* However, although consumers are familiar with dishes such as nachos and burritos, interest in other dishes is growing as people are looking for a more authentic experience, and the opportunity to expand their experience of a cuisine they are only partly familiar with.
