Nifty! Kind of like how the fortune cookie came from San Francisco.

I compare this a bit to kebab places in Germany, where, sure, it seems like a Turkish thing or something, but it's _really_ German.

Various things that you think are ethnic, immigrant food, but they're really a part of the local culture, and are as American or German as apple pie or various potato dishes.
