Eating moon cakes is an indispensable tradition in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. I still remember the first time I ate moon cakes wrapped in plastic bags when I was a child. I'm impressed. At that time, I didn't seem to be 65,438+00 years old. At home, I received moon cakes sent back by menstruation from other places, unpacked them, sprinkled a small bag of powder on the moon cakes and ate them together. I ate about half of it and my stomach hurt badly. Later, I learned that it is a deoxidizer used to keep moon cakes fresh, and I can't eat it.

From traditional paper-wrapped moon cakes to various beautifully printed bagged moon cakes, there are more and more flavors. Traditional moon cakes, represented by Cantonese moon cakes, have more than a dozen flavors.

Wuren moon cake Wuren moon cake In my opinion, this is the worst taste of Cantonese moon cakes. The materials are expensive and unpalatable, and they have a strong almond flavor.

Sweet in the south and salty in the north, I wonder if there is such a saying on moon cakes?

Fruit-flavored pineapple moon cakes are common in pineapple, wax gourd and cantaloupe. Among these flavors, pineapple is more delicious. The pineapple-flavored moon cakes sold outside are more or less mixed with wax gourd, and the other two flavors are basically eaten by no one in my family. I bought it once and threw it away.
