fortune cookie,

Youtube is one of the popular sites for killing time. My favorites are the “Just for laugh” gag clips from Montreal. I was a little surprised when I found some crafty clips. Ya, there are some. The “crocheted fortune cookies” is one of these interesting clips. It’s so simple that I must try immediately.The paper was from a real fortune cookie I got last week from the Chinese restaurant here. It says “Sie werden in eine hohe Position aufsteigen./You are going to be promoted”. What a good one! 🙂
Fortune cookie did not originate from China. As a matter of fact, I’ve never heard of such things before I left China. The Chinese restaurant I worked for in Montreal only offers fortune cookies to non-Chinese customers. My ex-roommate used to make a fool of himself when he had lunch with his labmates in a Chinese fast-food restaurant. Since he had no idea about the paper inside fortune cookies, he almost ate the paper. He told me his labmates looked at him as if he was a monster at the moment. What a pity…..:-D

There are a lot of chinese restaurant in Cuba, we a China town, and I’ve never seen the chinese cookies in any of then, first time I tasted one was in Mexico, but I didn’t know it weren’t chinese, so thanks for telling.

You’re totally right! If you want to learn more about where fortune cookies came from, you should read “The Fortune Cookie Chronicles” by Jennifer 8. Lee. Really good book. Learn more about it here: http://forkitover.wordpress.com/category/food-reads/
