To quote another of Dm's nicknames, 'there is no try.'
Pineapple cakes are a Taiwanese specialty. We used to get them in the office whenever someone went back, which was often because a third of the company was Taiwanese, and they are very nationalistic, which is obvs if you know anything about their history.
Moon cakes have a wide range of flavors. Usually they're intolerably sweet and fatty. But some are lighter. Some are savory and filled with meat. Some are modern, with chocolate and other more global confectionaries flavors. You can even find gluten free ones now. Five star hotels will have their own special seasonals. Shaolin Temple even had some seasonals. They are usually overpriced. I might look for some next week as there might be sales.
The moon peaked out.
Tonight amidst moody clouds
I gaze in wonder.
