Common misunderstanding - Chicken Salt is not chicken flavoured, it's a salty seasoning mix to use on rotisserie chickens to give the skin some flavour, which people started using on the chips.

actually some ppl use salt that is flavoured with chicken.. not the chicken seasoning.

Onion under the snag, then sauce on top only to roll it around, so there is sauce on the onion too. Alas I haven't been able to have a bunnings one in my life 😭 just play pretend at home.

I entered the front seat of a taxi in NY. Driver's first reaction was to claw at the window to get out, maybe. I said "Gidday, Mate". The panic left his face, and he said "Oh, Australian!". "Yeah!" We then had a pleasant trip to my hotel, and we talked about stuff you normally talk to a cabbie about. This was soon after Croc Dundee came out, and that helped. In USA, be careful getting in the front seat. The driver thinks you are a mugger. At least, that was my experience.

I did the same in China. The driver told me he felt honoured that I would sit up front. His English was pretty good too, like many of the younger generation I came across when I was there who had grown up in the big cities. Little did he realise I just wanted a better view (and video + photo ops) on the 3 hour journey, that I could only get from the front. But I didn’t say anything about that as I didn’t want to spoil his moment of joy. Later on that trip I had a 15 minute ride to the airport. The lady driver didn’t speak English. I had to ask the hotel concierge to see if she would mind if I sat in the front. She jumped out, opened the door, ushered me in with a huge smile. He spoke to her for a bit and he told me she asked him if I was Australian. Her cab was immaculate, with covers on everything. She wore a business suit and white gloves like she was a limo driver, but it was only a humble VW Jetta. Those cab drivers were better than almost any I’ve had in AU, across 6 states.

Great video. Grew up in Adelaide and certainly chicken salt was an option, but most people used tomato sauce (oddly with 'ketchup' printed on the label) or just salt, unless with fried battered fish in which case people used vinegar. But then these were habits at the family owned roast chicken/ hamburger/ fish n chips shops or the Pie cart (food truck for you North Americans), not the imported American fast food chains. Maybe an Adelaide thing? Beetroot on burgers, absolutely amazing and the biggest thing i miss living in Canada. Canadian family and friends think it's weird til they try it. Really no difference from the ubiquitous dill pickle on burgers here. Bewdy!😊👍🍔 Which are rarely as good as an Aussie made burger.

Chicken Salt was invented in Adelaide, specifically Gawler in the 70's According to my parents it didn't become a stable though till the late 80's and early 90's So that might be why you saw plenty with Tomato sauce, or perhaps you just travel in circles that prefer sauce

as you know@@Freshie207 Gawler is a separate place to Adelaide (though you can catch a commuter train between them). My dad and his family are from Gawler. They never used chicken salt but its interesting to learn it was developed there. 😀👍 When my Canadian wife and I lived in Adelaide in the early 1990s chicken salt was common (unlike when I was a kid in the 70s) when you bought 'chicken n chips' at a family run take away food shop.

I remember seeing a post online from Americans who were stunned that at Subway, we have things like beetroot and grated carrot as optional toppings. The pokies is a very NSW thing. There's a great old song by The Whitlams called "Blow Up the Pokies" that was released in the nineties and deals with the issue of them destroying lives. They were introduced the help sure up NSW's govt finances "so the trains run on-time" but they were not worth the societal damage they caused. Late trains are much more preferable to chronic gambling addiction tearing apart communities.

As someone has lived in Sydney for the last 47 years, but grew up in North Queensland and Bundaberg, I still miss burgers made in Queensland. The Queensland works burger is an amazingly delicious taste sensation. And it is not a Queensland hamburger unless it drips down your front. Nothing better than a Queensland works burger with chips with PLAIN salt. Chicken salt is as bad as Vegemite and fairy bread in my opinion. Another thing I miss about Queensland is growing bananas, mangoes, Monstera Deliciosa, paw paws, and custard apples in the back yard, and eating freshly picked tropical fruit.

If you get chips with chicken salt here you will only get to eat about 4 of them if people are around you. Life hack put vinegar as well and only 1 in 4 people will go near them. Personally chicken salt and vinegar and tomato sauce all together is a big winner. Also don't be afraid to get some fresh white bread and make it a sandwich. It is a huge winner....

@itsamindgame9198 8 месяцев назад

However……..A sausage in bread outside Bunnings on a Saturday afternoon………classic and delicious. And beetroot…….yep, essential (also essential in the classic cheese and salad roll from the local milk bar)

From Sydney here. As to chips -: I love salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon on mine. Also I’ve fallen in love with a Japanese dressing called Kewpie Roasted Sesame. And I love that on my chips as well. I absolutely despise tomato sauce. I also occasionally put a large dollop or two of Napoletana Sauce with cheese on my chips… As for Beetroot -: Roast it as a vegetable with other veggies or shred it raw in a salad or burger but never put vinegar on it if you’re gonna give it to me. Don’t like straight vinegar on anything. Yuck…. ⚛️☮️🌏

@Sevicify 8 месяцев назад

Chicken salt was developed by a bloke in South Australia in the 1970s as a seasoning to put on rotisserie chicken, the seasoning contains no chicken itself nor does it try to mimic chicken flavour. It was bought by Mitani in 1979 who released a retail version based on the salt which became popular with other brands coming out with their own variations, it's a staple in local fish & chip shops these days using a bright yellow brand (I believe from Edlyn) and is typically the salt many will put on by default if you don't specify which. So you would have been in your early 30s when it started becoming popular, and I guess if you never had hot chips from a local takeaway in that time since I can see how you may have never tasted or seen it though it is surprising not to at least have heard of it.
