Just where are the "lucky cookies" from?

They are supposed to be Chinese, but I AM Chinese and I NEVER saw ANY of those, until I went abroad.
The same for spring rolls.

Ok, well, a lot of Indian takeaway food isn't actually eaten in India, it's just made in the style of Indian food. It's just one of those things.

I think they're called fortune cookies, but I don't think I've ever had one, so I couldn't tell you where they come from.

Probably the Fortune Cookie Fairy.

glingleglingleglingle Closely followed by the Spring Roll Fairy. Anyway, here's a link with the history of fortune cookies. Don't know how accurate it is.

If that works I'll have to break the Dried Frog Pills out to get over the excitement!!! On another note I'd much prefer to trust in Mrs Cake than a fortune cookie.

I live in the U.S. and we eat english muffins but I guess they don't eat or make them in the United Kingdom. We also get laughed at for smorgasborgs and danishes.

I think Einstein invented fortune cookies, along with the external combustion engine and gravity.

 

[pzler]

that's not entirely accurate...........

 

[Sir Saladin]

I'm just going to guess that the American Chinese people who died in mines and building railroads came up with a woman that was a bhuddist and just thought it would be fun to put little words of wisdom in a cookie.

The idea of fortune cookies was introduced by Makoto Hagiwara at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, as a refreshment to be taken while strolling the tea garden. The Hagiwara family was not business oriented, and there was never a patent taken out on the fortune cookie in any form (name, rights, cookie itself, or otherwise).

there ya go

Wow, OK well maybe that's why they don't have those cookies in China. At least I know the history of southern fried chicken.

External combustion engine? Care to explain how that works, or whip up a nifty MS Paint diagram?
