No one really knows exactly how,when,or where fortune cookies(幸运饼)were invented. One thing is for sure,though. Fortune cookies are not from China. They were created in America. Actually,they may have been inspired by Chinese or Japanese food. Some people think that fortune cookies are like mooncakes,small Chinese cakes with messages inside. Others believe that fortune cookies are similar to a traditional Japanese rice cookie that once had a fortune inside it.
Fortune cookies are so popular that two American cities,San Francisco and Los Angeles,fought over the right to be the"home"of the fortune cookie. In 1983,a trial(审判)was held to decide where the fortune cookie came from. One side argued for David Jung,founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles. He said that he has invented the fortune cookie in 1918. The other side argued the cookie was invented by Makoto Hagiwara,a man who ran(运营)the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco in the 1890s. In the end,Hagiwara won the trial.
This was no surprise,because the trial was held in San Francisco. People in Los Angeles later held their own trial and decided that their city was the home of the fortune cookie. No matter where fortune cookies are from,it is hard to imagine finishing a meal of Chinese food without opening this sweet,crunch(脆的)cookie and reading its luck message.
