    Fortune cookies are actually not from China. They are a Japanese invention, commercialized by Chinese immigrants.

    Nobody in China knew about General Tao's Chicken until recently. And General Tao didn't even think about it.

        I have a good friend who is Chinese Mandarin and he told me the same thing. He said the Chinese food we eat here is crap and he never orders from the menu. I really don't care that it's crap, it tastes good to me!
