Things you were shockingly old when you learned

i've been to US Chinese restaurants that had both items on the menu, so there must be a difference

I think spring rolls tend to vary in kind and substance more than egg rolls, which are almost always a big, rolled, fried wonton filled with stuff. Spring rolls are basically egg rolls on some menus but egg rolls are pretty predictably just egg rolls.

Not looking it up, I would say spring rolls are in a rice wrapping, steam/fried and egg rolls use a won ton like wrapping and are deep fried.

I spent a lot of my childhood wrapping won tons and egg rolls.

there are different kinds of spring rolls - the stuff you get from chinese restaurants are basically tiny egg rolls, but vietnamese spring rolls are totally different

Basically that, yes. If spring rolls are in a steam tray on a buffet line, they're probably pretty much Asian taquitos.

Sometimes the non-fried roll in rice paper is called a summer roll or garden roll.

There is not a lot of consistency in the nomenclature; I propose we just call them all "food tubes."

Is a hot dog a food tube

A hot dog is a food tube which is also a sandwich.

Well, when you get right down to it, the entire exercise of eating is what digestive scientists call "bolus formation."

Everything about the shape of your digestive tract encourages tubularity in food. The more your food already resembles the shape of poop, the more smoothly everything goes on its way to your anus.

Down with angular and planar food! Food tubes (be they hot dogs or gogurt) are the way of the future.

A sausage is a food tube so a hot dog is a food tube tube

also now I have Invader Zim on loop in my head saying "shut your noise tube, taco human", which will go nicely with the previous ILX-induced Zim brainworm of "Have you the brainworms?!" thanks to the "friend has the right-wing brainworms" thread

california rolls as a sushi menu item seem kind of obviously not of japanese origin because of the avocado, unless there's some japanese avocado supply I'm unaware of

yah spring rolls are fried in a crispy egg pastry thing, summer rolls are in rice paper ime and thus imo

I just call the raw/unfried kind "ricepaper rolls"

They don't look very saucy

I always think of spring rolls as what Trayce calls "ricepaper rolls". I'd be surprised if I ordered spring rolls and received egg rolls.

the vietnamese-style unfried ones are my jam

in France I once ate absolutely delicious things they called 'naim' which were apparently Vietnamese, but weren't crunchy and more like what mh just posted but already in the sauce

Yeah, I don't think I have ever really seen an egg roll outside of the US.

The things MH just posted are called "summer rolls" in the UK, fwiw.

Has Perry Farrell ever been a pitchman for this foodstuff, y/n

mh's picture = what I most often think of as "spring rolls", although I see in Wikipedia that it is quite a broad term. I guess the Chinatown here is practically a Vietnam-town.

so for UK people "egg rolls" are "spring rolls", yeah?

ooh, or even more accurate and containing a multi-country roundup:

ok so Australian spring rolls are popiah tod, summer rolls are summer rolls*

*also rice-paper rolls but that's so boring

That was illuminating.

Popiah tod def familiar.

haha yes i think you're right

I've no idea. I was really young. lots of fish sauce I think. they were amazing and I would love to know how to make them or where I could get some where I live

i love vietnamese food so have noted
if not tried places that have popped up recently - you could try Rollin Vietnamese in town, follow Viet Vite on Twitter (although he's all about the banh mi), Pho Hanoi was good for pho when I used to go, and there seem to be bao places popping up all over.

That Midge Ure is called Midge because it's Jim backwards, not because he's small.

... so he claims.

yes, his real name is jim eru

Admittedly he is from Glasgow so would have to be about 4 foot 2 before he could earn a soubriquet based on being diminutive.

Surely not

Sanders' first name is PharOAH, not PharAOH (I just noticed this).

I think Sanders first name was originally Farell and Pharoah started off as a nicknmae
