Happy Chuseok!

The present Doodle, shown by Korean visitor artist Haleigh Mun, honors Chuseok (추석), additionally referred to in English as Korean Thanksgiving.

Among the nation’s most significant occasions, Chuseok falls every year on the date of the harvest moon and is commended over a three-day time span that incorporates the previous and following days.

With regards to Chuseok’s beginnings as a harvest festivity, culinary traditions are basic to the occasion.

Among the most huge centerpiece dishes is songpyeon, little round rice cakes traditionally packed full with nutritious ingredients like sesame seeds, beans, and nuts and steamed alongside a fragrant layer of pine needles.

A great deal can ride on the preparation of the dish—it is said that whoever crafts lovely songpyeon will be met with good fortune.
