Are steak fries made out of steak?

I just asked my husband how people get motorcycles washed since it wouldn't make sense to drive through a car wash...apparently I have forgotten you can wash a car/motorcycle with a bucket and soap.

Once I absentmindedly asked DH during a basketball game how many quarters there were in the game.
As soon as I said it I KNEW the mistake I had made. I haven't lived that one down yet.

At my old job, I was manning an info booth at the county fair. I'd been there all day in the baking summer heat, and when the breeze picked up that night, I told a volunteer, "Boy, Janice, when the sun goes down, the difference is like night and day!"

Janice said, gently: "Honey...go get some juice."

Reminds me of Jessica Simpson with the tuna can that said "chicken of the sea". So is it tuna or chicken?

Yes....she was very serious. She's not sheltered at all. What her problem is is that she takes things very literally, and in this case she thought steak fries were made of steak. God bless her silly mind!!!

You sounded exactly like me growing up, I was the exact same way.

My daughter is the same way. Last time we had Chinese food I asked her if she wanted to try an egg roll, she said "No I don't like eggs." :rotfl2:

She's 14.

Egg rolls should really have some egg in them - especially a thicker egg dough wrapper. If there's no egg in it, the name should be "spring roll". It's common but incorrect to call any similar food an egg roll.

To her defense, my dd17 loves chicken fries, which are chicken so she'd probably think steak fries are made with steak too LOL

But they don't taste of egg, look like egg, or have the texture of egg. That's like saying it would make sense for her daughter to say no to cake due to not liking egg - because the cake had egg in it.

OP - if it makes your daughter feel any better, I thought that when you quit smoking "cold turkey" it meant you ate cold turkey instead of smoking. My theory was the tryptophan in turkey removed your cravings for nicotine.

I'd have no idea why someone would say they don't like egg. Could be food allergies? Or maybe the taste (like egg noodles). And egg fillings aren't unheard of. However, it sounds like the person discussed just didn't know what they were or it could have even been spring rolls. That's not a big deal. I've been at a restaurant with a mostly foreign language menu, where the server calmly explained what was on a particular menu. I consider that good service.

Actually - egg rolls are pretty much Americanized. What we'd call an "egg roll" here in the US would be way different than what in Asia would translate to "egg roll". In Asia it would be a rolled wafer cookie. I like the following - "Produced meticulous"?

My bit of embarrassment happened at 21 ish when I dined at one of the fanciest restaurants in Houston- hosted by a very wealthy lady. Our menu had no prices on them.
We had several sub- waiters
Then a man with a small cup on a sort of ribbon hanging from his neck asked each of us if we were interested i wine ( this was the wine Steward or sommelier)....when he got to me I asked him for a glass of ice tea

( so embarrassing )

Apparently, my first outing to a restaurant when I was around 6 yrs old; while leaning in to get a closer look in my mother's tea pot I'd asked if I may see her string bean? A little tag on a string dangling from the tea pot.. so.

She had ordered string beans with dinner. Later years on occasion when we had string beans this story would be retold.

Well, if you go to Amarillo and order "Lamb Fries", you are getting lamb. You just don't want to know what part (or should I say parts) of the lamb the fries are made of.

The same thing goes for "Rocky Mountain Oysters". Hint: they ain't oysters.

Less embarrassing than calling him the "wine Stewart"?

You're right they don't but she thought they were filled with egg. Eating cake is not the same as eating a fried or scrambled egg. I don't like eggs but I like cake.

Yes, I figured that she thought that the filings was eggs (or the whole thing was eggs!). That was sort of my point - BCLA commented that egg rolls have (or should have) eggs. My point was that, yes, that is true. However (like cake) eating an egg roll isn't the same as eating an egg - which is why, I assume, you found her comment humorous.

Probably because they don't like the taste.

My funny story was actually me. This happened a few days after 9/11. My BIL lives in Manhattan and a few days after that he was chatting with my husband on line (the old AIM) and was telling him about how heavy the smoke smell still is, the tanks and armed officers every where and how it took him forever to get home. I am reading over my husband's shoulder and said "ask him if they have power". My husband starts typing it out and then just looked at me and started to laugh. I honestly couldn't figure out WHY that was so funny and then he just said "Nance, we are on the computer....how would he do that without power".
