It's our hidden shame. Just don't let Jorge Clooney know.
I think some of us are more concerned about the bigger picture, so to speak, about this kind of anti-Americanism.
Fortune cookies are an American invention, as a matter of fact when they were first shipped to some Asian countries they were touted as the "Genuine American Fortune Cookie". I guess some countries sitll haven't recieved theirs!
I just get a kick out of the whole fortune cookie thing. I also like when members of our group take them to an "authentic" Chinese buffet. They look so disappointed when the Chinese call it American food. If you want real Chinese food your not likely to find it at a discount buffet.
