Chikos roll on
Kate Robertson
However, the recent creation of the ‘Loaded Chiko Roll’ has seen them evolve from a simple takeaway treat sold at takeaway shops to the ultimate solution for your customers’ snacky cravings that can be featured on the menus of trendy cafes and
appeals to a new generation of Chiko Roll enthusiasts.
It was 1950 when Bendigo boilermaker Frank McEncroe created a meat and vegetable snack in a crispy outer pastry that made it easy to eat with one hand.
He dubbed his invention the 'Chiko Roll'
and soon his self-contained savoury snack became as synonymous with Australia as a day out at the beach and an icy-cold bottle of Bundaberg Ginger Beer.
Frank’s culinary creation was inspired by Chinese-style chop suey rolls, so no doubt he’d be impressed by Chiko Rolls’ latest incarnation, which draws heavily on the popularity of loaded fries.
Loaded Chikos provide a mouthwatering experience
that is delicious and super convenient, with the crispy roll slathered in toppings including mayonnaise, diced bacon, jalapenos, tomato, coriander, and avocado, and served with a side of chips.
Loaded Chiko Rolls are just one example of how a classic snack can be transformed
to cater to a new generation or reengage traditionalists. For more inspiration on how to use Simplot Foodservice products to create new comfort food classics, check out our extensive recipe collection online.
