No doubt about it, #2! I soak mine in beer to soften.

#2. I don't have them at the moment, so thanks for reminding me to get some. Perfect for summer!

#2 I recognized the pattern right away. Really great for a cool Summer meal.

one of the joys of #2 is that you can stuff them with any non-gooey meat and/or salad/veg that you want to eat 'out of hand'. my most favorite ones of the moment are made with grilled salmon and salad greens (with herbs) with some thin slivers of cucumber and red bell pepper. the dipping sauce is sour cream or yogurt with spicy mustard. outrageous! i almost never use rice vermicelli in mine or bean sprouts, because i don't want to take up space in the roll or my tummy! thanks lydia!!
