Sharing culture

One stew, many spoons — hygiene debates and the old default.

The pot is communal

Jjigae is often eaten from one pot. Post-COVID, some tables set individual bowls. Both exist. Do not double-dip a licked spoon if a serving ladle is present. Banchan plates are shared; take a portion to your plate if you are sick.
