>>8755347
It's the name of the pastry you fucking imbecile, google it.

>>8755198
Looks like some kind of samosa.

>>8755354
We shouldn't have to read squiggly shit on a DPRK how-to-survive-on-rice-and-weeds board that honors our GREAT LEADER, you fucking asshole.

>>8755373
You're not supposed to read it you shithead just highlight and search in google, does your brain not function ?

My grandmother's Lebanese and cooked something like an eggroll that started with an S-sounds: sighar/cigar.

There are two types she made.

1) Warka wrapped around a filling and either baked or shallow fried. This one is usually vegetarian, cheese or egg-and-tuna. Sweet versions exist but I hate Leb desserts (too sweet) so I don't eat them.

2) Thin sheet of dough wrapped around a filling and deep-fried. Usually filled with meat mince.

OP: look up Lebanese lamb cigars and see if that's what you're talking about.

Maybe it's just the way my grandmother made them, but the sambousek I know are triangular shaped.

Oh, to be clear, I think they're more like taquitos than they are eggrolls. AFAIK, taquitos are just the Mexican Spanish name for cigars brought to Mexico by Leb Catholics.

Coult be this, the people that own it are either Lebanese or Jordanian.

most likely a samosa

That's actually a very strange way of thinking.

You're saying you posted some squiggly wigglies knowing that 99% of people on the board wouldn't know how to read it so you wanted them to google it to translate it when you could have easily just posted the english name?

That's REALLY fucking weird, lad.

>>8756232
I don't want you to translate it, if someone is posting about foreign foods and someone posts a foreign name it's only natural to take that name to google and you will see the wikipedia article on that name, I don't understand why it's so complex to just google a word.

>>8756232
It's not weird at all. He wants you to know he knows something you don't. He has no interest in actually answering your question.

>>8756270
Now that's a strange way of thinking, how is giving him the name of the food means I have no interesting in answering his question about the name of a fucking food?

I prefer it when people name the food using the original language. It makes learning about the food so much easier.

If you google a food using your local language instead of the original name then you tend to get your country's version of the dish rather than the real thing. Searching by the original name (and using google translate) is a great way to get better recipes.

I had a fuck of a hard time getting good recipes for certain south-Indian curries, as well as bun bo hue. Searching for those dishes in English got me shitty Americanized recipes. Searching for those dishes using their original names & google set to the original language took care of the problem.
