@veronicalee, this is a fantastic snapshot of a bygone era! The photo speaks volumes about Korea's history and the significance of barley, a staple that's now considered a health food. It's incredible to think of the times when even a simple barley porridge was a luxury. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into the past and reminding us of how far we've come. This post made me stop and appreciate the everyday things we often take for granted. I'd love to hear more about your connection to this piece of history – what stories does it bring to mind for you? I am sure others are wondering the same thing! Thanks again for sharing!
