[MR] Food terminologies

[Edward deWitt]

Spring rolls, summer rolls and of course, egg rolls.

Spring rolls from Chinese rest. or from Thai, or Vietnamese are all different.  Summer rolls seem to have lettuce and rice noodles and a few other veggies, rolled in a soft rice sheet roll that has been dipped into hot water before adding the veggies and sometimes shredded meat.  Dipped into a hot/sweet or hot/tangy sauce or peanut sauce.

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.?
