Chicory (US: Belgian endive) has tightly furled white spear-shaped heads, or chicons, which are forced in the dark, adding translucence to the appearance and bitterness and bite to the flavour. Chicory is used as a salad vegetable or may be braised. Its bitterness can be counteracted with lemon juice.
Chicory is a bitter salad leaf. The names of chicory are very confusing. There are several different types of chicory, all based on the wild chicories, which may have either yellow flowers or blue flowers and the names sometimes cover several types of chicory. They all produce leaves with a bitter taste used in salads. The bitterness can be slightly ameliorated by the use of lemon juice. For those who like a bitter coffee, chicory root may be used as an additive. In times of hardship it has even been used as a substitute. Cultivated versions include radicchio, forced white chicons of chicory and endives.
an egg and flour deep fried savory pastry roll filled with minced and macerated barley, cabbage, carrot, celery, onion, rice, wheat meal, beef, tallow, and seasoning. Originally called the Chicken Roll, though it contains no chicken, the Chiko Roll was developed and offered first in 1951 by boilermaker turned entrepreneur-caterer, Frank McEncroe, as convenience finger food at games and entertainment venues. Similar to spring and egg rolls, though larger and more substantial, the Chiko Roll requires no utensils for consumption. Chiko Rolls are a modern cultural icon and considered as Australian as January 26 (Australia Day.)
