BARBEQUE CELEBRATES KOREAN AND CHINESE FESTIVALS

Traditional Asian foods were served on the Brooklyn campus in honor of the harvest festivals.With students from Asia representing the highest percentage of international students at Pratt, the Office of International Affairs hosted an Asian barbeque to invite the Pratt community to share in the tradition kept in many Asian countries of celebrating the autumn harvest.

The line snaked from the Rose Garden, around the Pratt Library, and out to the DeKalb Street gate, as students awaited their chance to savor Kalbi (marinated short beef ribs) Kimchee Jigae (vegetarian slaw), Bi Bim Bap (rice with vegetarian toppings), and Moon Cake pastries. The barbeque celebrated two harvest holidays, both observed on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar: Chuseok, the Korean “Thanksgiving,” and Zhongqiu,the Chinese Moon Festival, one of the most important holidays on the Chinese calendar. Both celebrate a successful harvest.

Sounds like a wonderful time! I wonder what kind of <a href="http://kalbimarinade.com/">kalbi marinade</a> they used? Or was it a homemade recipe? What kind of fruit puree or is that a secret? ~wink~
