The Mid-Autumn Festival is happening tomorrow. If you have friends or relatives celebrating the event, will you be joining them in eating some mooncakes?

I enjoy the celebration and festivity more than the mooncakes themselves, but the mooncakes are good too.

I specifically like mooncakes that have red bean paste or custard fillings.

They are delicious.

mooncakes sound like one of those desserts that sound super cool to taste but are as awful as macaroons and similar lame pastries.

For people wondering, it's an Asian thing. I know they eat them in China. I think probably Japan and Korea too

You can have salted egg yolk in snowskin mooncakes as well.

Honestly I can't stand the taste of them, though I do like the designs on the tins/boxes. I more prefer Chinese breads/buns.

It depends on the mooncakes heavily. In the Asian grocery stores near me I can, on a single table, find a box of mooncakes for $10 (and I mean a hefty box) and a box for $70 (with barely any in it). And in one store I found a box of mooncakes that was only available at the counter for over $100 (it was pretty big, IIRC).

I hope beans means fruit or something where you live.

Does that look like a fruit to you?

And don't knock it before you try it, it's delicious.

It's a sweet bean. A very mild sweetness, but still nothing like a pinto bean except kinda similar in texture. I haven't ever had these, but I have had sesame balls, which use the same filling (I think.)

Sure, there are more expensive ones, but like I said, plenty of dirt cheap options here too.

This year so far Ive been given 12 by my employer, 8 by colleagues, 4 by my landlord and 8 by my girlfriends family. Im drowning in the bloody things.

Also, here, all grocery stores are Asian.

I know what they are, but I've never had them. I'd have to go out of my way to find any and it just doesn't seem worth the effort, when plenty of other desert options are readily available.
