Hosted by Bruce Kraig, FOOD FOR THE ANCESTORS takes a look at one of Mexico's most mysterious festivals, Days of the Dead. On the colorful streets of Puebla, witness such cultural traditions as Mask Dancing Dance of the Volodores?performed from a 60-foot pole?and artisans creating skull artwork. Share in eating Mexican meat grasshoppers, ant eggs, and mosquitoes. Wait with families at grave-sites, watching for ancestors to return.
