I always think of spring rolls as what Trayce calls "ricepaper rolls". I'd be surprised if I ordered spring rolls and received egg rolls.

in France I once ate absolutely delicious things they called 'naim' which were apparently Vietnamese, but weren't crunchy and more like what mh just posted but already in the sauce

Yeah, I don't think I have ever really seen an egg roll outside of the US.

The things MH just posted are called "summer rolls" in the UK, fwiw.

mh's picture = what I most often think of as "spring rolls", although I see in Wikipedia that it is quite a broad term. I guess the Chinatown here is practically a Vietnam-town.

so for UK people "egg rolls" are "spring rolls", yeah?

i love vietnamese food so have notedif not tried places that have popped up recently - you could try Rollin Vietnamese in town, follow Viet Vite on Twitter (although he's all about the banh mi), Pho Hanoi was good for pho when I used to go, and there seem to be bao places popping up all over.

That Midge Ure is called Midge because it's Jim backwards, not because he's small.

Admittedly he is from Glasgow so would have to be about 4 foot 2 before he could earn a soubriquet based on being diminutive.

Sanders' first name is PharOAH, not PharAOH (I just noticed this).

- some people can't be changed or fixed, don't bother trying- 5 cent candy schemes are easy. Walk up to the counter, say you got like 1.50 - they will say "that's 30 candies". While they're not looking or busy, throw in an extra 5-20

That a groundnut = a peanut. So groundnut oil, which I regularly cook with, is peanut oil. Had no idea.

A nickname given to him by Sun Ra. When Sanders first arrived in NYC his nickname was "Little Rock," because he was from Arkansas.

that the immaculate conception refers to the conception _mary_. i was in my 40s when i learned that.
― Hunt3r, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 18:48 (five years ago) link
"of _mary_"
however the immaculate collection is of _the_ madonna iirc

Did not know. But you could fill a Bible with what I don't know about Christianity.
― This Casserole is Divine! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
wait what?i thought the immaculate conception was about the conception of JESUS within the body of Mary (the immaculate heart of)mary herself was conceived immaculately?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 20:55 (five years ago) link
that doesn't sound right at all
I think the idea is that the 'vessel' that bore Christ had to be without original sin, so Mary was born sinless to bear Him.

Xtianity is bizarre
i thought it just meant the conception of jesus was done without sin (filthy horrifying sinful human sexual activity) not that she was born "pure"are you serious?

tbh there is no age I have been at where I haven't learned some bit of catholic minutiae that has blown my mind
it's a heck of an institution and swarm of beliefs
