bushido_man96 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't believe it is. I think it came into vogue in America, but may have been invented by the Chinese immigrants. I think I saw that on Food Channel once. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarateGeorge Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The fortune cookie was invented by a Chinese-American, in New York City I believe. It was originally created as a pre-dinner treat to provide the guests with entertainment while they waited for their meal. Over time it eventually migrated to an after dinner treat....or so I was told by my TV once, so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some course of history, that gives vredit to Jaoanese culture prior to American-Chinese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
