  1. No idea what it is. Looks like someone trying to pass off a scotch egg as high cuisine.

  2. I’ve never seen, tasted or heard of a rissole until now. Wtf is it – mince in breadcrumbs? 

  3. I mean no offense my good man, but it kind of looks like a deep fried testicle….

    Out of interest where abouts is this magical greasy testicle originating from?

  4. Hahah, got introduced to these when I moved to Wales 😂 Cheese and onion ones are nicer in my opinion

  5. Worked in pubs and restaurants for years, some quite nice, and i have never ever heard or seen this, what part of the country are you in and what the fuck is it?

  6. From Wikipedia: “In Great Britain during and after World War II, rissoles were typically an economy measure, made from cooked meat remaining from the Sunday roast dinner. They are not pastry-covered. Rissoles are sold in chip shops in south Wales, north-east England, and Yorkshire, served with chips. These rissoles are meat (typically beef), or fish in Yorkshire, mashed up with potato, herbs, and sometimes onion. They are coated in breadcrumbs or less frequently battered and deep-fried.”

  7. My husband loves them 🙂 his dad used to make them. It was only last month that we was questioning if that was what they are called. We’re in Yorkshire

  8. Rissoles are a big feature of Australian family dinners but I’ve never seen one with a crumb coating, and they’re normally flatter…

    I’ve lived in the UK for almost 20 years now and this is genuinely the first time I’ve seen a rissole referenced in the UK, guessing rissoles mean something different over here

  9. Oh god! I fucking love a rissole. Peak snack! My Nan would buy me and my sister one each when we’d go down Clifton Street in Cardiff with her. They were only £1 too.

  10. Mrs Patmore made lobster rissoles with mousseline sauce for >!Lady Edith’s wedding!< on Downton Abbey, that’s how I know of the word!

  11. Family from Nottinghamshire made rissoles with Sunday roast leftovers. I remember the lamb ones fondly.

  12. My rissoles don’t look like that but Delia Smiths lamb rissoles recipe is worth roasting a piece of lamb for

  13. Common sight in Welsh chippies for years, although now most are really kebab shops that sell fish the old ways are rarer.

  14. It sounds like an Italian delicacy but looks like it came from a chip shop in Cumbernauld.

  15. I don’t think they’re local to anywhere (I’m from Liverpool, never thought they were unique to us). I don’t understand the hate they’re getting, whenever I’ve had them it’s been beef or lamb mince (like a burger or meatball) breaded and fried. They’re nice, and they’re not particularly unusual. Maybe they aren’t called rissoles everywhere.

  16. Popular in Wales where I I grew up, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 you can also can get massive ones from the local butchers , but apart from being abit of a welsh delicacy I have not seen them outside of Wales

  17. Rissoles.

    You know what they’re made of don’t ya?

    Ear’oles, eye’oles an’ arse’oles.

    You’ll love ’em.

    I miss the Fast Show.

  18. I’ve never had a rissole myself but everyone I know loves them

  19. It’s a mainly Welsh chip shop necessity. Hate corned beef myself but this with chips and gravy is the dog’s bollocks

  20. Yes, South Wales “delicacy”. But is that tomato sauce touching curry sauce? Brother, ew!

  21. Now that saying makes sense!

    “Tables are for rissoles, not arseholes”

    But anyway, that sounds yummy as hell… might have to find some

  22. Never heard of or tried but now I want to! Did you make it yourself?

  23. Not heard anyone mention them since the 80s and not sure I know anyone whose ever eaten one.

  24. It’s a very common snack in Brazil, but is called Risole, and it’s the same recipe.

  25. I’ve never met anyone outside of Wales who even knows what one is. Banging though, but breadcrumbs are better than batter, and I’ll die on that hill.

  26. Waiter: Is sir ready to order?

    Diner: [squints at badly typed menu] yes I’ll have the pissholes and chips please

    Waiter: I’m so sorry, that should be an ‘R’, not a ‘P’

    Diner: OK, I’ll have the arseholes and chips.

  27. I used to pretty much live on these when I was a kid in the 70s – can you get them anywhere or are these home-made?

  28. Oh yes, I used to have rissoles a lot when I was a kid, and we definitely had them on the menu for school dinners too.
    Not seen one for years tho.

  29. If you sat on a kitchen surface or a table as a kid in my granny and grandas house my grandad would shout “that’s for rissoles not arseholes”, which meant, get off the feckin thing.

  30. I’ve never heard of a rissole being eaten in the UK.

    I grew up on them though. The Australian version is staple family dinner fare, made of beef mince mixed with bread crumbs, grated courgette, grated onion, grated carrot, egg and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. They’re rolled into balls, flattened into discs and pan fried. Resembles a small fat burger patty. No coating.

  31. Just the name disgusts me 😂 rissole? That’s sounds like some bodily crevice.

    I’ve never heard of one before.
