There ain't no Fortune Cookies!!
There ain’t no ……. Fortune Cookies!! Nope! None! Nada! Not the first one!Yep, believe it or not, I haven’t seen the first fortune cookie since I came here! Before I left the States, I kept getting told I would get fat on fortune cookies after every meal. Well, folks, it sure ain’t happening from fortune cookies! (Nor from fish heads for that matter.) Because, there ain’t no Fortune Cookies!
That little treat at the end of a meal is a specialty of the United States. Here they usually serve fruit as a desert after a meal. Yes, those little gems of wisdom may be mentioned from time to time, but you don’t see anyone pulling little strips from their food to read their future!
Wilkipedia.org says that fortune cookies are served almost exclusively in North American Chinese restaurants. “Seldom is it found in China.” But get this, it does say you might find “Genuine American Fortune Cookies" in China!! How bout them cookies!
