Another Food Mystery Solved

One appetizer that remains popular year after year is Crab Rangoon. The sweet, delicate flavor of crab and the crunchy texture of deep-fried wonton make for an intriguing combination. What many people don't realize is that, despite having the capital city of Burma in its name, crab rangoon isn't an Asian recipe. Its exact origins are difficult to trace. It may be the creation of a chef at Trader Vic's, a restaurant chain started by "Trader Vic" Bergeron that became famous for its Polynesian cuisine in the 1950's. In any event, today Crab Rangoon (occasionally misspelled as Crab Ragoon) is very popular, particularly in eastern states and the Midwest.
