October -- persimmons of all kinds, both soft and hard and dried! The dried ones are my favorite, but I won't turn up my nose to fresh ones even though they are kind of messy to eat. (At least the way I do it, like a starving dinosaur.)
November -- kimchi! The homemade stuff which is, obviously, the best stuff. Every family has their own recipe. As I get older, I really enjoy it in the plainest fashion possible -- just on top of some rice. Or maybe my very lazy version of a kimchi omelet, which is really more like kimchi on top of some scrambled eggs.
December -- roasted sweet potatoes! Well, these don't excite me too much if only because by the time I get them home they are cold and really not fit for eating. Re-heating is fine, but compared to persimmons and kimchi they are my least favorite of gifts. Mind you, nothing goes to waste, but I tend to reheat and add some butter and salt. (Those additions are very un-Korean of me, but it can't be helped.)
