I really want to know










I had rice soup. YUMMY!




Smooches;)

I had a couple of schnitzels

I had a couple of egg rolls. That was about 5 hours ago. I'm actually starving now.

Nothing to snack on, though, alas.

I had a bacon double cheeseburger and a Coke from Burger King. I'm not proud of it.

what is an egg roll?

I had mango-orange yogurt and grapenuts. It was way too hot to try to cook anything.

CarrieMpls said:

ZombieKitten said:

no, I didn't...commie bastards...

ZombieKitten said:

You know, I have no idea. I assume there is egg in the dough of the wrapper. Or maybe they put an egg wash on the outside?

roodboi said:

!!!!!
apparently there's no market here for the egg roll!

(in Argentina nori rolls have HAM AND CHEESE in them there is no such dish as butter chicken in India etc)

CarrieMpls said:

omg so really it is just a large spring roll



here I was imagining some really eggy thing!

ZombieKitten said:

I've never had one because I thought there was egg in it

ZombieKitten said:

ahhhh... they're quite similar (and the same size, really), but here "egg rolls" are generally chinese and use a flour based wrapper and the base of the insides is shredded cabbage or veggies where "spring rolls" are generally vietnamese and the wrapper is rice based and the insides are mainly rice noodles among other things. Either fried, or served fresh (like below).

mystery solved!!!!! I have probably wondered about these things for 2 decades

CarrieMpls said:

we call those rice paper rolls spring rolls are only the chinese ones unless they are called vietnamese spring rolls

Chinese...Vietnamese...thats too many -ese's...you'd think the -ese's would just combine their menu for dumb hicks like me...

my father in law says "chinese, japanese same sauce"

Spring rolls suck. I like the big, fat , greasy egg rolls. Vegetarian, please!
