🔥what goes on the ancestral table now, apparently
Jesa is the memorial rite where families set out a table of food for their ancestors. Usually that means fruit, jeon, rice cakes, fish, everything in its proper place. Some families have updated the menu.

This one has burgers, fries and a soda. The Korean comments split into two camps: "they're offering what grandpa actually ate when he was alive, what's the problem" versus "fine, but Lotteria instead of Burger King is too far." The second camp is my favorite.

Another family went full sashimi, and the caption says the theme of the day was conquering Japan. If my descendants ever do this for me, I want gimbap and a nap pillow on the table. They'll know why.
