The Chiko Roll

The Chiko Roll or CHIKO Roll is an Australian savoury snack developed by Francis McEncroe, a boilermaker from Bendigo, and first appeared at the Wagga Wagga Show in 1951. It was inspired by the Chinese egg roll and spring rolls and was designed to be able to be eaten with one hand whilst drinking a beer with the other. 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. The wrap was designed to be unusually thick so it would survive transport to Football matches. It was originally called a "Chicken roll" despite not containing any chicken then later renamed "Chiko Roll".

Wow.
