Talk:Spring roll

message: There seem to be much more complete articles for spring roll' in the edit history. I think the current page may be a result of vandalism, but a quick glance over previous edits does not reveal an un-vandalized version. Someone with some time and knowledge should looking into fixing this. TheTyrant (talk) 14:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the definition in this article, a spring roll are fried pastries that can be found in several Asian countries. 
Further in the article, I read : 
Fried vs. Non-fried
(...) Non-fried spring rolls are typically bigger and more savory. 
So, according to the definition of spring rolls, we are discussing "Non-fried fried patries" here. 
I suspect something is incorrect. Either, the definition of 'spring roll' should be "a specific type of pastries, usually fried", or what they describe as 'non-fried spring rolls' aren't spring rolls. Then, that should read: "another type of pastry is very similar to spring rolls, but they are not fried". 
Please, correct the article if you know what can be called a spring roll. 
I will also remove the part that says spring rolls are found in several Asian countries out of the definition, because if they are part of the definition, restaurants in other parts of the world can make the same things (or import them from Asia), but then they would no longer be spring rolls according to the wikipedia definition.

replies: text: In the UK they are always fried unless served as Dim Sum in which case their usually steamed mincemeat. They are also always called Vegetable Spring Rolls (sometimes with and sometimes without carrots) unless they contain mincemeat which are just called Spring Rolls, they are also quite commonly served with a duck filling.

thread_title:  A non-fried fried pastry? 

message: I would have corrected this passage, which is generally the kind of writing that gives Wikipedia a bad name:"A popular joke variant involves substituting the rice paper for sliced white bread, and a can of Tom Piper's Braised Beef instead of sliced carrot, vermicelli noodles, and pork. The rolls are then "fried" in a sandwich press machine, instead of a deep frier. This was introduced in the spoof show "Life Support"."However, I'm not sure what to correct it to.  Presumably whoever wrote this meant that the joke version contains white bread instead of rice paper, but s/he wrote the exact opposite; also, I find it hard to miss the implication that the can and all goes into the sandwich, not just its contents.  Is a "sandwich press machine" what everybody else in the world calls a Sandwich toaster?  "Frier" should be "fryer", and finally, to mention that something was invented on a TV show that I've never heard of and which there is no link to, does not illuminate the subject at all.  I'll correct the no-brainers.  Lexo (talk) 20:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
