Yep. Same with me. I love spring rolls. Will eat them plain but a dip
in the "duck sauce" which is a sweet/sour sauce is even better.

Thanks, Gary. I can do sweet and sour sauce)

If you ever run across "duck sauce," buy it. It's nothing more than a
sweet and sour sauce, no spiceyness that you wouldn't like. It's good
stuff.

McDonalds and even 7-11 have good packs of duck sauce. Not sure if you
have them in Scotland though.
My daughter loved McDonald's fries dipped in their duck sauce even
though they intended it to be used for their chicken nuggets.

======================

I didn't know duck sauce was sweet and sour) I don't know about McDonalds
because we don't use it so I can't check. I can make sweet and sour sauce
though If I need to.

I will look for duck sauce next time I am shopping. It's not something I
have ever given though to before now) I think he will be very pleased
when I get this right. He loves sweet and sour and only yesterday I made
sweet and sour chicken with rice)

Thanks very much)

Most all Chinese take outs have packets of duck sauce, soy sauce, and
Oriental mustard too... but duck sause is just sweet, not sour at
all... it's essentially diluted apricot preserves. Usually if you ask
they will give you a tiny plastic cup of their home made Oriental
mustard that is far more potent than the infantile musturd in the
packets. There are infinite versions of oriental dipping sauce.

I doubt they would give it to me unless I bought a meal from them.

Wherever your husband bought the spring rolls would likely have house
mustard, next time tell him to ask. Or it's very easy to make your
own, simply buy a small amount of oriental mustard powder and prepare
your own, the only thing else you need is water. However I can tell
you oriental mustard is like horseradish. I like horseradish and
oriental mustard but I don't like hot pepper. With oriental mustard
and horseadish the effect is short lived and then is gone (kinda like
a good orgasm), makes you feel like the top of your skull is lifting
off but there's no burning... and does a great job of clearing your
sinuses. With hot pepper the burning lasts a long time, it burns
going down and burns twice as much coming out. Chili head is a
misnomer, the correct terminology is chili asshole. LOL

Thanks, but we bought them frozen in the supermarket and he doesn't like
mustard! I did say in my first post that he won't eat anything spicy, not
even mildly spicy.

Yeah, that oriental mustard is very hot. For spring rolls, I like to
dip in duck sauce.
Are you saying you bought frozen spring rolls? If he likes them
you should make your own. So easy to make. Don't bake them though,
they are so much better deep fried. They don't absorb much oil as
long as you get the oil very hot to start with.

Good eats. I don't make them often as I would eat too many. :-D

A Happy Christmas day to you, O.

Then it would be easier to suggest something if you posted a list of
what he does eat. It's difficult to concoct a decent oriental dipping
sauce using nothing strongly flavored, even garlic, onions, and ginger
can be hot to some. Peanut butter can be used in an oriental dipping
sauce, blend a wee bi with apple juice, soy sauce, and a bit of plum
jam.
