English name

[edit]

Someone told me "chicken fingers" the name came from the influence of the 1960s James bond movie Goldfinger. I cannot find a single source to prove it. Benjwong 18:33, 27 October 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Your friend is mistaken. The terms "chicken fingers" and "fish fingers" were used in the late 40s and early 50s in Australia, NZ, the UK and the US.203.214.6.147 (talk) 05:19, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dish only might be found in the east

[edit]

The article says it 'may sometimes be found in restaurants in the East' and the rest of the text infers (at least to me) that's it's actually a very western dish. I used to live in Hong Kong and loads of Chinese restaurants have this on the menu. Many local Chinese cookery TV shows would sometimes cook this describing it as a traditional Hong Kong or Chinese dish.

I think this needs to be re-worded or clarification found because I don't believe it's as western as is suggested. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.9.169 (talk) 20:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
