Yes, there are definitely foods that are eaten at special times in my country. For example, in China, mooncakes are a must during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They have a rich cultural significance and are a symbol of family reunion. Similarly, in the USA, turkey is a big deal during Thanksgiving. These foods are not just about eating; they bring families together and help keep traditions alive.

Not everyone sticks to traditional foods for special occasions. With globalization, people have access to a wide variety of international cuisines, which sometimes leads to traditional foods being overlooked. Younger generations might prefer modern dishes over traditional ones. However, even if the focus is more on the gathering, some traditional foods might still make an appearance, keeping a bit of the tradition alive.
