Asian Food Fun Fact
Fortune cookies may feel like a classic ending to a Chinese meal in the United States, but they are not actually a traditional Chinese dessert.
The modern fortune cookie is widely believed to have been invented in California in the early 1900s, making it more of an Asian-American food tradition than an ancient one.
