Hi,
I'm going to a family gathering/mourning this Saturday and was wondering if there were any typical types of food that Koreans would serve during periods of mourning? I'm thinking of bringing japchae because the huge gathering of aunts, uncles and cousins really liked it last time I made it. Any other suggestions that would be easy to make for a large crowd, around 20 people.
Thanks!

no special mourning foods at korean wakes I know of, except if you are going to a really old school family.
there will be plenty of food anyways, all the ajjumas will make sure of that, just be careful that you dont tread in their territory. if you are an ajjuma yourself... go nuts, if not, its your own risk.
and in my experience, there will always be heaps of hearty dishes but nothing for the sweet tooth except rice cake or fruits and lets face it: a nice chocolat cake beats rice cake and fruits anytime...

Is this a gathering for the anniversary of someone's passing like 제사?
Oh, I should probably say, I'm adopted into a Caucasian family, so its all Caucasians and my korean adopted sister and me. And it is just planting a tree and spreading the ashes of my uncle who passed away this winter.
I just wanted to know if there was anything kinda traditional that I could bring.
Thanks for increasing my knowledge of Korean culture :)
I make egg and bread roast for early breakfast. i make this things early in the morning.

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison met in 1776.Could it have been any other year? They worked together starting then to further American Revolution and later to shape the new scheme of government. From the work sprang a friendship perhaps incomparable in intimacy and the trustfulness of collaboration and induration. It lasted 50 years. It included pleasure and utility but over and above them, there were shared purpose, a common end and an enduring goodness on both sides. Four and a half months before he died, when he was ailing, debt-ridden, and worried about his impoverished family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madison's reply remind us that friends are friends until death. They also remind us that sometimes a friendship has a bearing on things larger than the friendship itself, for has there ever been a friendship of greater public consequence than this one?
"The friendship which has subsisted between us now half a century, the harmony of our po1itical principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that long period. It's also been a great solace to me to believe that you're engaged in vindicating to posterity the course that we've pursued for preserving to them, in all their purity, their blessings of self-government, which wehad assisted in acquiring for them. If ever the earth has beheld a system of administration conducted with a single and steadfast eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to it, one which, protected by truth, can never known reproach, it is that to which our lives have been devoted. To myself you have been a pillar of support throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you my last affections."
"You cannot look back to the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. If they are a source of pleasure to you, what aren’t they not to be to me? We cannot be deprived of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public good with Which we discharge the trust committed to us and I indulge a confidence that sufficient evidence will find in its way to another generation to ensure, after we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld whilst we are here. "

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I made a chocolate cake that was a happy thing indeed. My friend said it was the next happiest thing he had at the moment after his fuzzy slippers. This is not a typically sentimental guy.
Now I'm thinking about that bread pudding for the wake on Sat.
