Abstract

In this study a survey was conducted to compare the foods prepared for the Korean ancestral service on Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day and New Year's Day in the Yeosu and Pusan areas. Me(tap) as the main food in the rituals was highly used on New Year's Day in the Pusan region, whereas Tteokguk was highly used in the Yeosu region. As for soup ingredients in the rituals, jogae, soegogi and mu were more frequently used in the Pusan region than in the Yeosu region on Memorial Day and festive days. Jogijjim, gaorijjim, sangeojjim, myeongtaejjim, galbijjim, dakjjim, and bugeojjim were highly used in the Yeosu region but cheongeojjim and domijjim were highly used in the Pusan region. Gosari and doraji namul were highly used in both regions but most vegetables were hishly used in the fきn region except for sukju and chwi namul. Jogi gui was the most common in both regions, whereas seodae, yangtae and byeongeo-gui were highly used in the Yeosu region but dubu, jogi and mineo-gui were highly used in the Pusan region. Songpyeon injeolmi, gangjeong, and yakgwa were highly used in the Pusan region. Most fruits except apple were highly used in the Pusan region. With regard to the liquor used for the rituals, there was no difference in the use of cheongju between the two areas, whereas takju was highly used in the Pusan region but soju was highly used in the Yeosu region. The results of this study showed that the use of ritual foods varied a little according to the region and that ritual food use was based on seasonal foods, preference of ancestors, and special products of the region.
