Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all the Asian members of the forum!

And everyone else, too, I guess!

"Moon cakes?"

Never heard of 'em.

In America we opt for Moon Pies.

Educate me, why celebrate a "Mid" Autumn festival if we are the beginning of fall? Is it mid Autumn in Asia?
I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite. You say "black" we go white.

Because it is now pumpkin-spice everything ! I bought some pumpkin spice Twinkies the other day and they are actually very good.

Why do I think my post should be in the Nathan's corner thread ?

I'm not sure, but the name dates back over 1000 years, so maybe that long ago it would have been the middle of autumn.
