Eggplant

I read Toshio Asakura ‘Sekai no shokubunnka 1 Kankoku ‘ (Nobunkyo.)
He says the basic set of Korean food is made up of rice, soup and pickles and additionally some dishes.
“Annnyon hamushi nika” is well known Korean greeting.
There is other greeting that is exchanged with familiar persons.
That is “Pan mogottsusoyo.” That means ‘Did you have rice?”
It means rice is the main staple in Korea as well as many other Asian countries.
The eggplant is dark-purple.
