Perhaps it is a Canadian thing. To me eggrolls are not rolled but sealed at each end. This extra crispy part of the wrapper makes them very different from spring rolls. edited to add they are pillow-shaped.

Perhaps in your part of the world! Here they are generally called spring rolls.

One can also bake bread in it according to this but if you’re off grains all together then that would not really be an option.

Am I the only one who thinks that spring rolls and eggrolls are shaped very differently?

If the tablespoon of pepper doesn’t do you in then the faffing about surely will.

Hmmm. Around here (at least in my very limited experience) fresh spring rolls are wrapped in rice paper and uncooked. But spring rolls are wrapped in a wheat pastry and deep-fried.

These, from Costco, seem to be confusing eggrolls and spring rolls! I quite enjoy them but they are not eggrolls by any stretch of the imagination.

Celery is so underrated. It gets very little respect from most people outside of a plate of nibbles. Yours looks quite delicious.

I have serious doubts about those numbers! They might apply to currently built homes but hardly to the average home.

That is why my ideal open kitchen comes complete with two full-time housekeepers.

Well Covid is truly messing with our lives. Never before in my memory have these ladies who lunch shared to lunch on a Saturday (except when we are together on Manitoulin Island). But I am so happy to see another human being in the flesh that I am not going to complain one bit. We followed all the appropriate public health precautions as we sat 6 feet away from each other in my home. I tried to give the task of choosing which restaurant to @Kerry Bealbut she played the work card! And truly she worked right through lunch! I chose Popeyes. This is her lunch which is butterfly shrimp, onion rings, biscuit and coleslaw. She mixed up her own dip using Maille honey mustard and kewpie mayo. I had the same except for the shrimp. Mine were popcorn. The biscuit would’ve survived at least three periods of a Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens game. The onion rings were so so. Next time I will stick with chicken which I think they do much better than shrimp.

That would explain it!

Most peculiar. I don’t have prime with amazon.com so that will not explain it. But it is still showing at $1.58. Maybe you’ve said something to upset Jeff?

Yes, the article is very misleading.

Very strange. This morning it is showing as $1.58 on amazon.com and I just bought it for $1.99 on amazon.ca.

There are some toys even I will spurn. And I am mighty proud of my collection.

Would you mind elaborating?

I suspect it might! I have an electric reamer and that rotating action really seems to completely empty the shell of juice.

I bet @Kerry Beal will be green with envy if she sees this. I know she spent much time and effort trying to get someone to bring this from Italy for her. No doubt she has moved on from mostarda now so unless she can weaponize it....

I should have been much more lucid in expressing myself. I did not mean the whole Mc D’s operation in China but rather the specific item in your post and similar marketing failures that you have posted about over the years. But a long discussion would throw this completely off topic so I will leave it there and ponder the situation and perhaps even do some research! Thanks for your response.

Which raises the question of why McDonald’s which surely knows something about marketing research fails so miserably in China.

Nothing but admiration for your ingenuity!

Wow! Both of these dishes look amazingly delicious. Once again, if you were feeding me, I’m sure I would become vegetarian without a problem. That is until you started throwing in the chickpeas and the eggplants.😂😂

Ah. Thanks.

I just love the use of that very technical culinary term “stuffe”. Do you know what “Creame a pine” means?
