I'm not sure. For Chuseok food, I only really know about the songpyeon, which are colorful rice cakes. And I believe they set up food that's meant as an offering for their ancestors as well

From Wikipedia:
"In contemporary South Korea, on Chuseok, masses of people travel from large cities to their hometowns to pay respect to the spirits of their ancestors.[7] Chuseok celebrates the bountiful harvest and strives for the next year to be better than the last. People perform ancestral worship rituals early in the morning. Then, they visit the tombs of their immediate ancestors to trim plants and clean the area around the tomb and offer food, drink, and crops to their ancestors."

That's...REALLY similar to Dia de Muertos. I offer pan de muertos and food my lost ones liked every year, as well as drinks they liked...

You know, I feel like we don't really have a holiday like that in the US. My family would do those things on Memorial Day, but technically I think that day's supposed to be for relatives who were in the military. We always just used that day to place flowers on all of our close relatives' graves then though

For us, most of our relatives are buried 3 hours away from where we live, so maybe it was just easier to do it all at once

It's hard to make up meals for a week/2 weeks/more. I usually think of meals I want to try to make, and some backups.

I vote for tofu and spicy green beans lol. That sounds delicious.

One of my favorite bbq places makes these things called "dragon beans". Literally just green beans sauteed in eel sauce, but it's DELICIOUS!

Oh, and the cemetery my family is buried in has a background story. It's named after one of my ancestors. The story is that he was lying on the hill one day and he really loved the spot. So he decided that was where he wanted to be buried when he died. Now there are a lot of people buried there. I assume most of them are related to me somehow, but I can't say for sure. People there used to have like 7 kids each or something, so it's certainly likely. Even my dad has 5 siblings, and I have so many cousins

That's a neat story!

My maternal grandparents had a lot of siblings growing up. But unfortunately we lost touch with much of that side of the family after my grandparents passed.
