Today I Googled Egg Roll vs. Spring Roll

Google, please compare and contrast the Egg Roll and the Spring Roll

Ah HA! The ever illusive question you always ask yourself when mindfully perusing the Chinese takeout menu but have never taken the time to further the inquiry… all thanks to the unwarranted amount of MSG you have just chopsticked down your gullet. If your order sounds anything like mine (order of Lo Mein and a General Tso for my other half) then you rarely venture from the familiar Americanized cuisine you have come to KNOW (key word) and love… Terms like “Egg Roll” and “Spring Roll”, although written in the English language, seem rather foreign and really don’t differentiate themselves enough to produce an informed decision as to which is a better pair for chicken lo mien. WELL today is the day we put an end to all cylindrical uncertainty and rash appetizer choosing!! Both delectables are fried to a delicious golden brown but a “Spring Roll” has a very thin flour/rice shell and is usually filled with vegetables such as carrots and bamboo, WHILE an “Egg Roll” has a thicker (less crispy) exterior made from egg noodle dough and is often stuffed with heavier items, i.e. pork and bean sprouts. Also, one is Vietnamese and the latter is Chinese… and yes I DID have Chinese for lunch...
