“As founders of National Egg Roll Day, our goal is help you bring the party home. Made with whole ingredients, premium proteins, and love in every bite, Van’s Kitchen egg rolls are the perfect snack for a celebration!”

Reading that I headed for the closest search engine and found this:

“Van’s Kitchen founded National Egg Roll Day in 2019 to honor the company’s founding in June of 1986. Van and Kim Nguyen, two deserving Vietnamese immigrants, made their ultimate American Dream come to life with their passion for creating authentic egg rolls. Like many immigrant families before them, Van and Kim Nguyen came from Vietnam. Together, they established a home and family business in Dallas, Texas.
They diligently hired hard-working employees, filling out paperwork in a language that was not their own. The Nguyens created a business model based solely on their greatest strength: making authentic egg rolls for those they love. Using only fresh, whole ingredients and crafting the egg rolls in artisan batches, Van’s Kitchen sets themselves apart by maintaining their decades-long commitment to making every bite the best one.
In 2019, the Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed that National Egg Roll Day should be observed on June 10th annually.

MEDIA ALERT | NATIONAL EGG ROLL DAY – June 10
.
The marketing folks at Van’s Kitchen have done a great job of promoting National Egg Roll Day and apparently creating that special day of the year when We, the Eaters of the USA can eat the delights by the dozens. If you can get that many down. I can but they need to be spread out over the day and evening into the night.
Hello, Herd. I have been eating Van’s egg rolls around once weekly for a few weeks and today, January 30, 2021, while waiting for supper time to arrive I jumped into the Web to sate my curiosity about Van’s.
Poking around their Web site I noticed the national day and their claim to have started the observance so that ensured an in-depth perusal as to the validity of their claim. A few glances here and there and I was satisfied about the validity of the claim. Perhaps a true deep-Web search might find a counter-claim but my curiosity is not piqued that much so, for now, unless a verifiable conflicting claim can oust them, Van’s remains the initiator of an event that may grab the hearts, minds and gullets of eaters across the land.

Wal-Mart has been charging me $2.82 for the above. The pork version is also available but the chicken has a few less calories and those demonic things gather into hordes that place lard upon the body so it is chicken for me.
Let’s look at the Wal-Mart Web page for the above item:

The carnivorous crowd crowed their enthusiasm as revealed in the ratings. After tossing this page onto the Web I will head back and add my review where I will give a full FIVE STARS for these yummy munchies. I use the toaster oven due to my desire for a crispy exterior. I liked the taste when using the microwave and assuredly some folks will prefer them heated using that method. Bless their nuclear souls!!! If I was rushed for time and needed a quick meal I, too, would nuke the fellows.
I have difficulty describing the eating sensation. After 6 or 7 events of eating all 5 egg rolls at once as the main course of my dinner/supper/ (my grandparents from the upper USA Midwest of German/Scottish/Danish stock referred to lunch as dinner. Soda was referred to as pop and a couch is a divan and a refrigerator was the frigidaire and used in a generic vice brand-name sense. Whoever thought they would learn so much from a damn egg roll review?) I have been sated and satisfied and hungering for more. No excesses in any one taste. A fine blending of differing tastes and textures into a wholesome whole. Nary any gristle or hard things that do not belong. No excess greasiness or excess of anything other than good taste.
I am unable to envision anybody not finding something to like about the taste and/or texture of these chicken egg rolls. Thinking back to a long-ago era when I shouted with joy while sinking my teeth into the wonderful delight known as lumpia I am relying upon that ancient memory to proclaim that there is SOME similarities between this product and the lumpia of my more youthful days. Bought from either street vendors that cooked them on the spot or in cubbyhole sized dives interspersed among the hordes of bars calling out for sailors and marines to enter to quaff a bottle or a dozen of whatever beverage they lusted for lumpia were a delight that included what was best referred to as “mystery meat” since if you do not know the sources almost all protein can be rendered edible via spices and sauces and levels of the eater’s inebriation, if any. Damn those lumpia were good!!! And so are Van’s chicken egg rolls and I feel far far safer eating their goodies using the high-quality equipment and rigorous health and safety standards of our first-world country, society and culture. Damn right!!!
Go forth and eat an egg roll. Any type or style from any manufacturer or restaurant or home cook or even your own admirable efforts with who knows what the results will be. If you are lazy as I am go grab a Van’s. You can’t go wrong.
