Chiko Rolls ???
 

Battered Chiko Roll fights to survive



:confused: Err.... what the hell are these foods, has anyone actually heard of them before? Are they only sold in New South Wales?? Or have I gone crazy.

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

I don't mind a Chiko Roll every now an then .... it's not health food .. but it's ok.

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

what exactly is a chiko roll?

and do you live in NSW?

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

You can get them in Queensland apparently, can't tell you what they are cos I've never had one, but I do remember being told years ago that UK service stations were pathetic cos they didn't sell them, so they must be something amazing!

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

Now I want one...



edit - the internet had the answer all along. Doesn't sound that appetizing....

One of those cases when ignorance is bliss, I think :lol:

Battered savs are like battered sausages (you know, the staple of many a chippy in the UK) but have a saveloy in them rather than a sausage, and a potato scallop is a slice of potato, coated in batter and deep fried.

Growing up in the NE of England, it would be a weird chippy that didn't do potato scallops. Our local chippy used to do a refinement of the idea too, and had a slice of fish on top of a slice of potato, which was battered and deep fried - this was commonly referred to as a 'dab'

It did confuse me terribly when I found out that scallops and dabs were really something else completely!!

They're feral. They're small versions of those poo on a stick things you get at shows with a blob of tomato ketchup on the end.

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

I need a savaloy now, it's been ages ...

I will also get my first Dagwood Dog this year, as this will be the first, and last, time I visit The Ekka.

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

they are nothing like dagwood dogs at all...

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

That's them, Dagwood Dog. However I prefer my description better :lol: Seriously though, save your money. Take it from me, you'll hate it. Let the wife take the daughter and just stay at home. They can bring you a Dorothy the Dinosaur show bag back. That's all you need.

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

Chiko Rolls are not Dagwood Dogs, they're like a big spring roll with a with a thicker kind of pastry around them and great for fighting off rampant camels (cross threading here).

Re: Chiko Rolls ???
 

Dorothy is old hat maaaaaan, move with times, we are into proper dinosaurs these days :thumbup:

I hear they have a bar at The Ekka so it won't all be bad. Just need 3 weeks off work to recover from the 'flu I'll contract now.
