The Chiko Roll is an iconic Australian food, first introduced in 1951. Supposedly inspired by the Chinese spring roll, it's designed to be a convenient meal for people on the move, either at sporting events or in the car. The filling consists of a mixture of beef, barley, cabbage, carrot, celery, and spices, all encased in a thick, deep-fried pastry shell. The exterior is really solid, almost to the point of being indigestible. Today, for lunch, I had a chiko roll and a potato scallop (a battered and deep fried slice of potato).
I do these things so you don't have to.

Scallop?! SCALLOP!!!!
You wuz robbed.... that is just a slice of battered potato!!
A Scallop, named after the shellfish, is two thinnish slices of spud with haddock between them and then battered and deep fried. Cheaper chippies use a pre-prepared slice of "fish?" instead of real haddock because it is cheaper and easier to handle.... it takes a very good chippie to do a proppa Scallop!!
You wuz robbed!!!
However, can you get the Chiko Roll introduced around here... it looks rather tasty!
