I've seen that term "spring roll" used a lot more on menus lately.

Well heres one that some of you might not know. The Egg roll is not really called an egg roll in China. It is called a Spring roll. The Wiki entry on egg rolls is actually wrong because even the big crunchy ones are really called spring rolls not egg rolls. There are actually two types of real egg rolls, one is like an omlet made out of scramble eggs in a roll and the other is a pastry made with egg whites. The second is what the Chinese normally refer to as a egg roll.

I stand corrected on the egg cream.? I'm from upstate, and the egg?cream is a Big Apple thing . . . . I DID read about that treat, years back, but my memory got fuzzed by the passage of time ("Ah yes, I remember it well!")

I do remember wondering why they call 'em that, there being neither egg nor cream in it . . .

Umm... as a former New Yorker, from NYC, I can say with certainty that an egg cream is NOT a milkshake. An egg cream has milk, chocolate syrup and soda water.?

I haven't had one in YEARS.?
