Maggie: I take it the Vietnamese observe mid-autumn festival similar to China, due to the latter’s influence? What’s it called in Vietnamese, just for reference?

thanks, this was fun to read. it might interest you to know that my museum friends organized a mid-autumn festival at the Vietnam Museum of EThnology in Hanoi this year, that included a sampling of the Japanese festival, complete with treats and stories from Japanese.. I didn’t get to visit but heard about it

Stephen: My first encounter with a “tsukimi” burger was actually something in an American bar/grill that sold an “Australian” burger with a fried egg. Turned out to be really yummy, but besides that I never heard of them until I researched this post.

Johnl: Yeah, didn’t work, but please feel free to post a link if you find one or try again.

I thought McDonald’s Tsukimi Hamburger had taken over the most popular spot, but I suppose it depends on the demographics…
