A few months ago I read Jennifer 8 Lee's book The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, which traces the history of Chinese restaurants in the United States. It was then that I learned that fortune cookies are not Chinese at all - they were invented in America by Japanese bakers. Anyway, Lee took the opportunity while traveling in China to hand out fortune cookies to people there and recorded their reactions.
