when can you eat Chinese mooncakes?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

This kind of Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during Mid-autumn festival which is "August 15" in Chinese Lunar Calendar.
12 Sep will be Chinese Lunar date "15 Aug" for this year 2011. Usually mooncakes can be seen as early as one month in advance.
There are a lot of confectioneries actually make smaller version of this lotus seed paste pastry or similar kind at any time of the year but they will not name it as mooncake.

Please note that mooncake is usually very sweet and oily so best to eat with hot tea.

You can eat it whenever you want. They are traditionally eaten on the day of the year with the fullest moon.
