Anything round is good.

Fruit (in 3's or 8's) and round mooncake.

You can get anything from the small novelty ones or the lotus ones which can range from $24 - $50 a box.

I have one sitting in my fridge, ready to be scarfed.

i read up on the tradition.

don't eat rabbit!

i think the band RABBIT IN THE MOON is named after this traditional belief.

Maybe they'll serve Mooncake if I bring it...
