Did you know that Russians have a tradition of going to the cemetery to eat at the graves of their parents and grandparents and leave some food for them?
What food would you bring to your macabre picnic?
I won't lie, I would probably just take some Burger King and leave some fries if I was feeling bloated. Motherfrickers didn't leave me no heritage.
Americans do this too, bring your tacos and fries
It's traditional to leave a block of Velveta
a little bit of chicken fried and some cold beers
This, a block of cheese is all you need
I need rye bread as well.
havent thought about this in 10 years anon
frick you
This is how literally how I react to death and now I know why people look at me weird - I always imagined it was contempt, but really its extra depressing in a dry way
I think some picnic food relative to whatever culture you have works best, a homely meal
I might as well just feed the nearby strays directly. I hate my family anyway so I wouldnt leave them anything.
>macabre picnic
This is also a classic Greek tradition and formerly a part of North American tradition, which is why old cemeteries are fashioned as very ornate and elaborate public parks. Death wasn't fetishized as some strange dark hallowed taboo, but rather people came to terms with the death of their loved ones in a healthy manner and would fondly remember their company at the site of their memorials.
In fact, in the US, it became so popular to spend time in cemeteries that they eventually had to start reinforcing old superstitions and traditions about "respecting the dead" because people were flocking to have all sorts of stylish outings in cemeteries.

And yes, they are serving the food on marble gravestones in Athens.
I'd much rather the people I loved be eating fried food over my dead body than crying.
My childhood friend died when we were 19.
Every year, on his death's anniversary, I visit his tomb with two beers: one for me, one for him. Makes more sense than flowers honestly, to me at least
That's cute. And I'm sorry for your loss.
This is actually a rather old Indo-European ritual. People would leave food out for their deceased relatives due to the belief that people's spirits still resided within the ground.
This sort of stuff happens in almost every single culture in one form or another.
Pretty much. Koreans do a similar thing.
