The food that is the perfect excuse to celebrate your period.
This is a mooncake:
It's typically made to worship the harvest moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is celebrated by Chinese and Vietnamese cultures.
Plus, if you've ever been amazed by how menstrual cycles can sync up with the lunar calendar, this festival celebrates exactly that. Menstruation (known as women's "monthly water" in ancient times) is connected to the full moon.

You eat it while watching the moon, which will be exceptionally rad this year because it will coincide with a total lunar eclipse.
Get ready for a BLOOD MOON!!!
