Can somebody please explain spring rolls to me? Why do they exist? Who wants to eat a soggy egg roll?

Spring rolls, to me, are crispier than egg rolls. Are you talking about summer rolls?

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
In my experience egg rolls are softer and chewier than spring rolls. Also they have a much more substantial wrap material. Two completely different things but both very good.

In Australia, a Spring Roll is what an American would call Egg Roll - deep fried wonton wrapper tubes. What I see called Spring Rolls here are what I'd call Rice Paper rolls back home; vietnamese style rice paper wrappers dipped in water, filled with vegetables and a prawn and/or roast pork.

Neither are soggy...

Hang on let me measure out how much soda I want: is it 37 ounces to a pound or 872672? It actually doesn't matter because it's completely arbitrary! Let's not change it to something that makes logical sense though because America.

Because if so, the reason is that they are delicious.

They aren't. They are talking about the fried ones. Which are universally garbage.

I do agree though, those rule and are to be loved.

Actually who knows what he is talking about because he is a known moron and whatever type of roll he is talking about he is dumb because if it's rice paper rolls, yeah they are not soggy, and if he is not talking about rice paper rolls, there isn't really a universal definition of spring roll so he should have clarified so we could better tell him why he is wrong.

I assume hes talking about the fried ones because people who order the rice paper ones know what they are and that they rule. Being confused over a fried mini burrito filled with cabage/asian slaw sounds more his speed.

Whenever we used to order Chinese food, my father-in-law would eat nothing but spring rolls (the fried kind). That would be all he'd eat. A dozen plus spring rolls.

Anyway that's my story, and in keeping with this thread, also gently caress you.

Those are called egg rolls.

Also whenever I make spring rolls, I use lightly fried marinated mock duck instead of shrimps. Super good.

Bull poo poo. The Vietnamese in Australia also do an amazing mostly pork meat fried spring roll (egg rolls for the seppos) that they serve with lettuce leaves and Rau Ram for you to wrap them in, and of course Nuoc Cham for dipping it all in.
