Whats the difference between Egg rolls,Spring rolls,and summer rolls?

Question

Stupid question but always wondered that

Answer 1

The main difference between spring rolls and egg rolls is the thickness of the wrapping. An egg roll is made with a thicker wrapper that contains egg. The spring roll wrapper is made out of rice and remains unfried while the eggroll wrapper is egg based and fried

Summer rolls (gỏi cuốn in Vietnamese) are unfried wraps with pork, shrimp, herbs, rice vermicelli, and other ingredients wrapped in rice paper. Summer rolls are often confused with spring rolls, which are typically stuffed with pork/shrimp, cabbage, and bean thread vermicelli and are always fried. Summer rolls are normally dipped in a simple sauce consisting of hoisin sauce, garlic, peanut butter, and water which are boiled until well blended.

Although typically served as an appetizer in the United States, summer rolls typically compose a full meal in Vietnam. Unlike spring rolls, summer rolls are not fried and are served either cold or at room temperature.

In some restaurants, gỏi cuốn is mistranslated as "spring roll."

spring rolls are vegetarian-friendly. i'm not sure what's all in them, but that's the one the lady at the chinese restaurant recommended for me when I told her i was looking for a meatless egg roll. Never heard of summer rolls...
