Fortune cookies are for the superstitious and sweet-toothed alike. They're a unique type of sugary cookie nearly always containing either a prophetic message, a quote or sometimes even lottery numbers. Whether you take them seriously or with a pinch of salt, they’re a fun ending to a meal. Check out our guide to the best places to get them in London.
