Don't hate, good sir. You are completely free to make a less awesome Chinese Thanksgiving thread. :D Just had a lot of dduk last night, my god it's a crime we don't eat these everyday. Who the hell decided to make them so delicious? D: | ||

In what is supposed to be a celebration of a good harvest in Autumn.. This is what is traditionally eaten in the modern era: ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Koreanthanksgiving-chuseok.jpg/800px-Koreanthanksgiving-chuseok.jpg) Let's see...for those of you who don't know what those things are, they are: Various fruit [ not even exotic or expensive ], Various forms of rice [ rice cakes, rice covering dates or sesame and honey ], dried fish, shitty candy, and tteok which is a cake made entirely of glutinous rice flour. So basically you are eating various forms of rice and fruit for a national korean holiday instead of what the nation's cuisine is known for a la soups, stews, fermented foods, seafood etc. You could make the argument that it's a festival of the harvest but in actuality most korean families make things like japchae and bulgogi which are not essentially ' of the harvest '. I GUESS if you like songpyeon then its ok. But honestly outside of 추석 how many of you eat songpyeon? Like do you ever go ' Damn I wish I had some songpyeon right now '? It's kinda like fruitcake...some people eat it during thanksgiving and winter holidays but nobody ever fucking goes, Hey I'm gonna make a fruitcake today! As for festivities, traditionally you dress up as a cow or turtle with obnoxious music playing. Or you can decide to cockfight which is always cool, right? The only thing that salvages the festivities seems to be paying respects to your ancestors and taking care of their graves...which you should be doing anyway.. Oh and archery is kinda cool I guess but that probably never happens outside Koreans in Korea. Anyway happy 추석 lawl, hope you get to spend it with family. | ||

Chinese mid Autumn Festival seems way more awesome. | ||
