Foodwise, there’s usually plenty to go around during each Chuseok celebration in our village: an abundance of baskets filled with fruits and vegetables such as apples, persimmons and pumpkins; sacks full of rice cakes made out of glutinous rice flour; jars overflowing with fermented sauces like doenjang (soybean paste); containers stocked with various types nuts including pine nuts and chestnuts; tables groaning with various kinds seafood delicacies including salted mackerels; platters heaped high with assorted jellies like yakgwa (fried honey cookies).
Meanwhile drink-wise there’s makgeolli – a fizzy alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain – along with bowls brimming over with homemade sweetened drinks concocted by stirring together ingredients such as ginger juice mixed with vinegar or peaches soaked in honey water overnight. And finally there are crates containing freshly brewed teas steeped from herbs collected from nearby mountainsides which everyone can enjoy while catching up after meals throughout the entire afternoon period until late into evening hours when night falls upon us once again.
At dusk we gather around bonfires built just outside our homes where all families young and old join hands singing old folk songs about love lost between two star crossed lovers or funny tales about mischievous animals running wild across vast meadows until late in nightfall when everybody’s tired eyes flutter closed bidding farewell to another merry Chuseok celebration that marks yet another autumn season here back home in good ol’ South Korea!
