Things you were shockingly old when you learned

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

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

lol eliza

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

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

please don't say the word "tubular", i have "super mario world"-based ptsd

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:
https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/the-differences-between-egg-rolls-spring-rolls-popiah-and-lumpia

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.

yeah these are the bomb. "naim chow" is what i've always known them as. prawns inside often. and maybe.. cilantro?? or am i dreaming that

prob mint?

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

i just learned to shave. i'm 34. OWCH

- some people can't be changed or fixed, don't bother trying
- 5 cent candy schemes are easy. Walk up to the counter, say you got like 1.50 - they will say "that's 30 candies". While they're not looking or busy, throw in an extra 5-20

Between him and Pharoahe Monch, I can no longer remember how to spell pharaoh correctly on any occasion.

lol you and me both

That a groundnut = a peanut. So groundnut oil, which I regularly cook with, is peanut oil. Had no idea.

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

A nickname given to him by Sun Ra. When Sanders first arrived in NYC his nickname was "Little Rock," because he was from Arkansas.

that the immaculate conception refers to the conception _mary_. i was in my 40s when i learned that.

"of _mary_"

however the immaculate collection is of _the_ madonna iirc

Did not know. But you could fill a Bible with what I don't know about Christianity.

wait what?
i thought the immaculate conception was about the conception of JESUS within the body of Mary (the immaculate heart of)
mary herself was conceived immaculately?

that doesn't sound right at all
