If I recall correctly from past years, you aren't generally impressed with moon cakes. Do I have that right? And are these particularly outlandish? I think the mulberry sounds good, but I've no idea about how compatible the sticky rice would be.

 

Yes. I can eat them, but wouldn't miss them. 

 

No. I don't see them as particularly outlandish, just unusual. I pass because I don't really like the texture of sticky rice.

I have a followup question: is there a correlation between the mooncakes and the lunar year? For instance, we're in the Year of the Snake right now. Are the mooncakes different than they would be during the Year of the Horse?

 

No. They tend to vary every year but nothing to do with the Chinese zodiac years.
