Wheat foods for ChilseokSourced
Korea’s seventh-evening festival also has a seasonal menu
Chilseok falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of Korea’s lunisolar calendar. Alongside the cowherd-and-weaver tradition, customs include wheat-flour noodles and grilled wheat cakes. The festival was treated as a final seasonal opportunity for wheat foods before cold winds were thought to spoil their scent.
