Those “new-fangled” hard, shiny shell spring rolls date back a looooooooooooooooooong time.

Like they probably date back farther than your country, depending on where you’re from.

sure, granted, but they’ve been used as a cheap easy replacement for the old school NY take out egg rolls which I love. they’re more like lumpia, aren’t as big, don’t have the fillings, don’t have the nice blistered exterior, and are a far inferior cheap out product being sold as “egg rolls” with no right as the egg roll dough had egg in it, and the tiny disappointing misnamed shiny ones don’t

Egg roll dough doesn’t have egg in it, though, most times (as in hardly ever). It’s just a thick wheat flour wrapper. And yes, “lumpia” are a variety of spring roll (from Fujian, IIRC, where they’re called runbing). (They also don’t have egg, but they further use rice wrappers, not wheat.)

thats a lot of eggrolls… but I can relate. Sometimes I decide to grind out a recipe until I am good at making that thing, and will just chow down on that one singular food item for weeks. The last one was sausage & cheese grits, which admittedly I think I mastered really quickly, I just wanted to keep making more of it.

I’ll do this, I’ll get interested in a new food, way overdo it for awhile, then it makes it into the regular rotation.

Had about 15 grilled cheese sandwiches one week. Outer sides of regular bread slices covered in mayo with an incredible Carolina Reaper infused cheese slice in the middle.
