What is Qiqiaoguo? Please, all the gods

Qiaoguo is a traditional product in Shanghai-style pastries. Folks often use the term "seven curves and eight bends" to describe the shape of "qiaoguo". There is a custom in the rural areas of suburban counties in Shanghai that when newlywed women go to their natal home on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month (commonly known as Qiao Day), they bring back some Qiao fruits from their natal home as gifts to their husbands. Therefore, around the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year is the peak production season for Qiaoguo.
