Super-powers?
Couldn't you go one? That's the slogan I remember for the Chiko Roll. Others include "Grab a Chiko" and "You Can't Knock the Roll."
I had a Chiko Roll for lunch today. It's one of those love-em or hate-em foods don't you think? And so very Aussie. I never knew this before, but they've been around since the Wagga Wagga show in 1951. And they've stood the test of time!
You don't really want to know what's in these things though. I'll still tell you now. Like a car accident, you can't look away. They still taste good but.
The ingredients, apparently, are mutton, celery, cabbage, barley, rice, carrot and spices. And the thing is deep fried. Twice.
Now I can't profess to being a big mutton fan. And actually, I detest the taste and smell of celery. I have an allergy to barley (sorry to say, particularly in beer). And cabbage... well cabbage does other offensive things to me. Let's not talk about that any more. However, put them all together... put them all magically together and you have something that gives you special powers!
Faster than a union organiser calling a stop work meeting!
More powerful than a WorkCover inspector!
Able to balance budgets in a single round!
My kryptonite?
Hahaha..... not telling!

Interesting shape. Do you think they make veggie chiko rolls?
Ha! No, actually they don't. I think you'd have to settle for a veggie spring roll. But hey, mutton isn't a real meat is it?
