Special Food

Korea has 3 special summer days that mark the hot season.  The days are marked by special foods. The one served at my house today was one that I had seen on a cooking show this morning while having breakfast from Dunkin Donuts.  The dish is a soup with broth made from chicken feet.  Each bowl of soup has one small chicken (or at least the greater part of one) stuffed with rice, ginseng, and dried fruit.  The rice has a distinct ginseng flavor to it. According to the TV roast duck is also a traditional dish of the day.
I'm looking forward to finding out what we get to eat on the next special day that marks the middle of the summer heat.
