I'm guessing that the original American dish is buffalo wings, not poppers. Buffalo is just a borrowed term for anything chicken, spicy/chilly and nugget size.
Yep it seems that what we call poppers is called "Boneless buffalo wings"

... that there's at least one filter which allows you to access ChatGPT, but not Wikipedia.
LOL.
It’s called native iPhone restrictions restricting all websites aside a select few (DDF  ;D). Oh, and I use the ChatGPT app, so there’s that :)

And not to ignore the most recent conversation above, ChatGPT has no idea what hot poppers are:

“"Hot poppers" typically refer to jalapeño poppers, a popular appetizer or snack. They are made by stuffing jalapeño peppers with cheese (often cream cheese or cheddar), coating them in breadcrumbs or batter, and then deep-frying or baking them until crispy. The combination of the spicy pepper and creamy cheese makes them a favorite at parties and gatherings.“

Classic ChatGPT: wildly inaccurate, but with complete confidence and perfect grammar.

Not exclusively. We share it with many broke people (with large families) of various persuasions.

What about macaroni, with cottage cheese and ketchup? That must be Jewish.

it's called pasta, not noodles.
Noodles is one shape of pasta. Pasta refers to the food, noodles refer to the shape. (Like elbows, bow ties...) But those are the informal names in any case. Of the formal names, spaghetti, lasagna, macaroni, ziti and farfalle are in common use. Penne and fettucine for those who order off of menus? Rotelle (wheels) is my favorite for eating neatly with cottage cheese.

according to my italian hygienist, only egg noodles are referred to as noodles in the common vernacular.

Egg noodles are fake noodles - impastas.
