Chic Ho Rolls
OH MY GOD. How long has it been since you've seen or tasted one of these suckers? I thought maybe they had become extinct or something but lo and behold i saw someone in the orifice chowing down on one of these babies for lunch. In terms of culinary quality you'd have to put them in the same ranks as the good ole fisho's dim sum? Also include the battered sav for good measure.
But really, the question of importance one must ask is 'what the hell is really in a chiko roll?'. Well i asked the dude eating it and all i got was a mumbled 'fucks me?'. Really i cant help myself, i had to investigate.........here is a pic of the insides of one of these little babies:
What is the sound of one hand clapping? And WTF is in a chiko roll?
Any guesses? I can verify that there is carrot, cabbage and other UFO's (Unidentified Food Objects). I spose that the Chik in chiko has to be referring to some finger licken chicken by product? ahhhh............food for thought isnt it?

Dude, that's just put me right off my lunch.
Glad to see you're asking the big questions over here.

You do too much thinking. I would suggest that a chiko roll is not the worst thing you have had in ya mouth !

Not sure but perhaps there's a link between the carrot that mysteriously appears in vomit without fail and that found in chiko rolls.

I guess some people just arent ready for my no holds barred kinda journalism. I bet i become way famous after I die.

I can't believe that there is carrot. I only thought that there was cabbage - and unidentifiable meat flecks. They are much much healthier than i thought. Hmmmmm I might go and get one now.

I don't know exactly what's in them, but it does seem they were invented in Bendigo. You can't help but feel that they are scraping the bottom of the barrel if the need to tout the invention of the "Chicko Roll" as a reason to visit. I can here the thundering of Ugg-Boot clad feet now...

I just don't know if Australia is ready to know the truth. Just think about what that knowledge could do in the wrong hands... Thousands of Bogans and their offspring could starve to death. Hmm, would that be a bad thing?

Eww, that looks revolting.
Another thing on my list of never to eat in Australia.

I used to be quite a fan of the chiko roll's cousin - the chicken and corn roll. So processed, so soggy, so wrong, yet so tasty.
But I've never had a chicko roll.
For the best really.

that rotten mango experiment is never to be repeated........but with a chiko roll the results could become apparent much quicker.......i know i want to.

Are we still talking about Chico Rolls, mex...

The Chiko roll consists of boned mutton, celery, cabbage, barley, rice, carrot and spices in a tube of egg, flour and dough which is then deep-fried. Thats 65% of the insides, the rest are as of yet unknown.
