Not so Lean cuisine

My mom brought home some dinner from the store, though I guess she got excited with the stuff she found cause she got a lot of it. Some of the stuff I'm not used to eating.

There was some brand of asian foods called Bento Express. She got me a Philadelphia sushi roll dish. It comes with twelve of them and a pack of wasabi sauce. I don't think is all that bad but all the little seeds around the edges I don't really care for, making it crunch a bit. Reminds me of those hamburger buns from the school I attended before. I don't really know what the purpose of the seeds are but it doesn't seem all that much. The stuff however was smoked salmon (steelhead, sockeye, atlantic), cream cheese & dill pickles. Very odd combination of stuff considering is sushi, I expected more... not common american stuff here, but is only further perpetuate the idea is called "Philadelphia Roll"

The other thing she got me was called Shrimp Pad thai. Other than shrimp, I didn't know what i was eating. The label says is rice noodles which I thought was ramen noodles cause it look like some of the other instant ramen noodle dishes we have around here. It says it garnished with egg and green onions. I was kinda disappointed, it seem like square diced boiled egg yolk, wondering where the egg was until I figured it out. I didn't find no egg white, the dish came with a sliced lime that was sour. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the dish was filled with shredded carrots and not enough shrimp. I'm not a fan of carrots but I do eat them, there is other vegetables I enjoy even less like peas and beans but the carrots just didn't help much.

The other thing I tried was some type of Patty shaped potato bread. It looked like those beef patties or some call it empanada but it was filled with potato, obviously I was shocked there was no meat inside. She referred to it as Knish. Not very practical to that, usually stuff wrapped the way I saw it had more ingredients than just potatoes. There isn't much to say bout this, guess It was better saved to be eaten with something else than alone.

So I mean I tried some new stuff today, ever since that new market opened up, there been some stuff in there I never expected. Just wanted to share my thoughts about those things. :)

pad thai is 'pho' pronouned fugh. its the latest white people discovery of food.

sesame seeds are used for a burned nut flavor and texture
 
Kinda. At least the dough. They're stuffed with potatoes and sometimes onions and cheese too.
 
That Pad Thai looks surprisingly decent. Looks pretty much like what you'd expect. I'm not a huge fan of Pad Thai, but it's not bad.
The sushi seems a bit odd, but it sounds good, I like all of those ingredients.

Pad Thai is Pad Thai. Pho is Pho. Pad Thai originates from Thailand, is a stir-fried dish, and looks relatively close to the pictured dish. Pho originates from Vietnam, is a soup/broth filled with vermicelli, and is nothing like Pad Thai. At all.
 
Amusing, Texas has Sushi here called the Houstonian roll...which is normal tuna sushi...but with Jalapenos. Trying new foods is always fun.
 
You need R E A L pad tai. We have a local restaurant where my family lives and I've been getting and enjoying their amazing pad tai for over a decade.
You need the real stuff.
 
@Pleng
pad thai and pho use the same noodles, when you buy the package its usually says 'PHO' on it. thats what i meant
rice vermicilli is used for Khao Poon(spicy curry-like noodle) and spring rolls
 
@gameboy

I don't care what the packages say; Pho and Pad-Thai are totally different dishes cooked with totally different ingredients in completely different styles. They do not use the same noodles; Pad Thai uses either flat or "glass" rice noodles. The rice vermicelli used in Pho is a round-thick noodle with a much more spaghetti like feel to it.
