The '''Chiko Roll''' or '''CHIKO Roll''' is an Australian savoury snack developed by [[Francis McEnroe]], a [[boilermaker]] from [[Bendigo, Victoria|Bendigo]], and first appeared at the [[Wagga Wagga]] Show in 1951. It was inspired by the [[Chinese cuisine|Chinese]] [[egg roll]] and [[spring roll]]s 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 (food)|egg]], [[flour]] and [[dough]] which is then deep-fried. The wrap was designed to be unusually thick so it would survive transport to [[Australian rules football|Football]] matches. It was originally called a "Chicken roll" despite not containing any [[chicken]] then later renamed "Chiko Roll".<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Since the 1950s, Chiko rolls have been advertised by an iconic "girl on a motorbike" (also known as the "Chicko Roll Chick") theme. The girl is usually photographed straddling a large motorcycle, holding the Chiko roll near her crotch in a phallic gesture. The accompanying slogan is "Couldn't you go a Chiko Roll?".<br />
<br />
By 1965 most Australian [[takeaway]] restaurants and [[Fish and chips#Fish and chip shops|fish and chip shops]] carried Chiko Rolls, with the marketing 'Grab a Chiko' signifying the ease with which shop owners could take a Chiko roll from the freezer (frozen distribution of Chicko rolls was made possible ever since the factory was located near the [[Floyd Family Iceworks]] in [[Coburg, Victoria|Coburg]], who together with Frank McEnroe formed Frozen Food Industries) and pop it into a fryer and slide it into its own trade mark bag.<br />
<br />
==Present==<br />
Since 1995 the Chiko brand has been owned by [[Simplot|Simplot Australia]] and today has expanded its products to include: [[MexCHIKO Rolls]], [[Corn Fritters]], [[Corn Jacks]], [[Fish Cakes]], [[Seafood Roll]]s and [[dim sim]]s. All Chiko Rolls are now manufactured in [[Bathurst, New South Wales]], Australia on a specifically designed machine that produces the pastry and filling at the same time in long rolls. They are then automatically sliced and then the distinctive ends are folded.<br />
