Pan de muerto!
Probably available during WoW's own interpretation of the Day of the Dead/Dia De Los Muertos.

Of course there's the real-life source, but this also heavily reminds me of Grim Fandango which has elements of the holiday in its first chapter, especially the bread, and was my first encounter with this holiday as a European.
When Manny picks up additional bread, he says:
"I'll just take a little more bread, to honor the dead."

A very intimidating hunk of bread. Knowing the culture i'd be kind of afraid to eat this bread.

Its mouth is stitched up, and it's a piece of bread.

An omen? Let's hope not.

The recipie is purchaced from vendors near any major-city grave yard during the Day of the Dead event.

Comment by 22gus

Take note - if you are in Dalaran and want to make this recipe, there is no vendor in Dalaran that sells Ice Cold Milk.

The "ghostly fire" required to cook this is behind Catrina.

You can buy the milk at:

Can be purchased at 48, 80 in Orgrimmar.
First building on left as you enter Orgrimmar.

Simple flour will be in any vendor near the cooking trainer.

This food is not involved in any achievement, but does count in your "Tastes like Chicken"

Ok the Ghostly Cooking Fire is next to the NPC you dance with, and the bread is easy to make by visiting the Cooking Supplies vendor.

The reward is a non-combat pet which looks very cool, but only lasts for Day of the Dead.

Also I think you can only pick up the quest from your races home city, or Shattrath/Dalaran for all. Went to Orgrimmar on my Undead and couldnt pick it up, went to Undercity and got it. Went to Dalaran on my Dorf and it was there, then went to Ironforge and it was there too! :)

HAPPY DAY OF THE DEAD!

In order to get the pet:

Step 1: Buy Ice Cold Milk from any innkeeper of the major cities. (the ones in Dalaran do not sell them)
Step 2: Buy Simple Flour from any trade goods / cooking vendor in one of the major cities.
Step 3: Buy the Cooking Recipe from Chapman, who is located at the graveyards of the major cities.
Step 4: Als buy an Orange Marigold, or an bouquet of Orange Marigolds.
Step 5: Move to your own major city graveyard, as you cannot get this pet in another major city
Step 6: Cook your Bread of the Dead (the fire that is needed for that is located just behind her on the graveyards of the major cities!
Step 7: User your Marigold(s), and hand over the Bread of the Dead (for the quest: The Grateful Dead!

Voila, your pet!

Confirmed,

You can only complete "The Grateful Dead" quest at your own race's graveyard or the neutral ones.

Comment by astomious

Though this bread can only be made during the event, learning the receipe DOES count for the Sous Chef achievement

Comment by keepyacoolbro

This does count towards the Chef de Cusine achievement.

Comment by sysichi

This bread is awesome, which is why they wont let us make it outside of this holiday =/

I still have my bread, and it works fine!

I stockpiled about 30 stacks. Guess I should have done more but meh.

I can now confirm that regardless of what the tooltip says (mine continue to say "Requires Day of the Dead"), they have remained in my possession and continue to work. I just consumed one and got the 15-minute Well Fed buff of "Stamina and Spirit increased by 25% of level".

It remains to be seen whether the error lies with the tooltip or the item itself. I suspect the tooltip, in light of lagmar's claim that his do not have the holiday requirement. Additionally, it would seem to make sense that a cooking recipe that we learn permanently (and indeed counts toward our recipe count) produces something that can be used at any time (even though it can only be made during a limited time).

Well I just ate it on nov 3 and it still works. Same with Macabre Marionette.

Comment by Alleymonkey

It is Nov. 29th, and this no longer works as it did previously. I have a bank tab full of them and when i take one out it just disappears.

Comment by Allakhazam

"Stamina increased by 25% of level"

Can't exactly do the math here but my STA went from 26000 to 28000 at lvl 80.
