[Post 47] Thanksgiving FOOD.

In my country, Korea, we celebrate Thanksgiving as like the United States. The meaning is the same as harvest festival, so all of family members come together to celebrate. However, there is huge difference in foods. In Korea, there is not a main food like Turkey in here, however, we make various different kinds of food with using of the year's harvest. The most traditional food is half-moon-shaped rice cake what is called Songpyeon. It is a kind of rice cake, but there is a special meaning that many family members get together and make the rice cake with joy. And we also make many kinds of Korean style pen cake with beef, pork, or fish. In addition, we make steamed chicken, which is somewhat similar to Turkey, with steamed rice and Taro soup. We also prepare fruits like apples, oranges, pears, strawberries, and so on. Based on those food, our family members enjoy the Thanksgiving holidays.
