Though the phrase Bap meogeosseoyo? (밥먹었어요?) directly translates to “Have you eaten?”, it is a common greeting in Korean—a time-honored way of asking how someone is doing.

The phrase is also deeply Korean in its politeness: its mundane and specific nature respects the boundaries of privacy while inviting a range of responses. Making use of this as a title, Have you eaten today? draws our attention to eating as one of the most fundamental acts of care, and an intimate form of relating to the world.
