Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Butt-Shaped Mooncakes
[Image: G.O.D.]
Mooncakes are the traditional pastries given out during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese holiday that this year lands on October 3, aka the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Red Cook has a roundup of non-traditional mooncakes made for this popular holiday, such as coffee-flavored mooncakes from Starbucks, ice cream mooncakes from Häagen-Dazs, and...butt-shaped mooncakes? Hong Kong-based lifestyle goods store G.O.D. (stands for "Goods Of Desire") is behind this series of eight butt-shaped mooncakes for a different take on the word "moon."

I sent this to my husband. His response:

That last one there is about the most vulgar thing I've ever seen.

All of the Chinese names for them have to do with the Mahjong game as well. It's quite funny.

I'm glad I don't like eating mooncakes anyway because I'm not sure I could look at them the same way again.

Whew. I didn't see the little diagrams at first. I thought the "Bunny" was something... horrible. Horrible. *shudder*
