I guess what makes them seem not like onion rings is that the breading is so thick and they would've had to been cut from a pretty small onion. More calamari-sized.

Third option: fried sliced pork bung.

Ah I see the issue, those are 'onion rings' ie fried rings of mostly mashed potato (probably?) with a bit of onion mixed in.

Nope, chip shop onion rings are literally just a ring of onion dipped in batter and deep-fried. You never know what size you're going to get. It could be a big one from the equatorial region of the onion or a smaller polar onion ring.

The ones in that pic do look a bit odd though.

Those ones look too regular, probably the cheapo processed and reformed onion variety.

i prefer fried onion sticks

In high school, I worked in a chip truck that sold both onion rings and onion "chips", which were vaguely square shaped, so probably onion "petals" cut in half. The batter/onion ratio was much better than the rings and you didn't have to bite them in half like big rings. Vastly superior, so I have no idea why they aren't more popular.

I'm so sorry for the way they make onion rings wherever you are. Stay strong, friend. Try a nice garlic dip or a hearty serving of ketchup and white vinegar.

e: I'm about to make kraft mac n cheese/kd for dinner and add a ton of ketchup and vinegar. I did it originally as a joke, because I was newly in Canada and "KD with ketchup" was a popular joke. But holy, it actually rules. I will post pics.

i mean.... i'm assuming that the real reason for the hole is because the homogenized chicken goop gets shaped and/or partially cooked around a metal rod before being extruded and sliced off into the fryer, right?

now someone do the needful and make a chicken, peach ring, and donette salad

We danes had nothing to with "Danishes" :reject:

That said, we do have a pastry called "goose breast" which can look a little unsettling at the baker's counter


They are actually pretty good for a cake that's 90% whipped cream and marzipan.

You can generally turn chicken slurry into whatever shape you want! They're the perfect food!

I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.
a swiss roll is literally and definitionally a cake frosted and rolled up, like the little debbie version, so if your bakery is selling you a pile of whipped cream with frosting over it that isn't even loving rolled, like the goose-breast cake, um, i guess they are pretty idiosyncratic then. bc like. a swiss roll should definitely be rolled up.

Gotta get the cake cooked juuust right, so it doesn't break when you try (and fail) to roll it. But at least if it breaks, you still have a frosted cake.
