"egg roll" meaning in English

See egg roll in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: egg rolls [plural]
Etymology: From egg + roll, modelled after spring roll. The use of egg in the name is probably because the words for spring and egg sound the same in Cantonese, while egg rolls usually contain no egg.
