Happy Thanksgiving - Chuseok (추석)

[BubbleDropping]

man, you've got a golden voice! :D

[XxPiscesxAng3lxX]

Wow how interesting. Chuseok is somewhat similar to the day of the dead/Halloween in Mexico. It's also a three day event.

스팸을 후라이팬에 지글지글 구워서 밥에 얹어먹으면 천국이 따로 없지요~~

보름달 둥근달 동산위에 떠올라 어둡던 내맘을 대낮같이 비추네.

아! 동산위의 달이 저렇게 곱기만하네..

즐거운 추석 보내세요.  2010년 9월 23일 추석날에

Also, the day before as the women of the bigger family gathered preparing busily for the food to be taken to the ancestorial graveyard for offering next day, the young children of cousins who haven't met for the whole year spent the night together in excitment, looking foward to having fun together during the trip next. Come to think of it, it was fun time for children and men, but a hard backbreaking time of the year for women.

Thanks for posting this video. Happy Chuseok to you!

In my childhood in Korea, Chuseok culminated with visiting my acestorial graveyard taking train with my bigger family. The whole trip going on a train and having to walk more than an hour getting there was an awesome experience as a child. We ran into a tomb site where an Yi Dynasty royal family member was buried with elaborate guard stones up on a high hill, stream, and a big cestnut trees where we can sit and take a rest along the way.

Whoa That was a really good video, I my self have never tasted spam but I've heard it a good sushi filler. That Spam gift set if both cool and funny, I wish I could get it over here! Thanks fr the video!

[rkddlftkak]

SPAM!! HA! very interesting!

My grandmother used to make the fillings for SongPyeon(rice cakes filled with fillings such as honey, red bean or chestnut paste, etc.) and every family members had to gather in a big circle with her to make SongPyeon as well as dumplings. We made enough to enjoy during chooseok and take some back home.

I miss my grandmother in Korea... Amazingly she's still alive(Super Healthy).

[gerald2003r]

Happy Chuseok to you Sir...

Talk to me about Spam a bit more. I know the Hawaiians like it... But I thought it was not that good for you? Knowing you to be a fit type person it is an interesting discovery... How do you use it? If you could post a recipe and I will try it! Another great video, Thank You!

SPAM's popularity in Korea stems out of the Korean Civil War, when meat and all kinds of food were scarce; hence, American army bases often provided canned food. SPAM continues to be a main ingredient in "Budae chigae," or "army camp stew," which is still so popular there are special Budae chigae restaurants.

[qiranger]

I usually put two slices in a breakfast sandwich... much like bacon.

Okay, this was totally news to me - thanks so much! One is never too old to learn new things about other cultures! Thanks.
