What are Scottish munchy boxes like? What kind of munchies do people have in the UK?

>> No.12077532

why don't you just swim over there and find out moron

>> No.12077548

Go to gyro place and buy some gyro meat. Go to a wing place and buy some wings. Go to Arby's and get some curly fries. Throw it all in a box. Wa la. Scottish cuisine.

I would pay 25-30 dollars for a fresh, gourmet version of this.

I'm kinda gutted nowhere in my town does a munchie box.
I'd buy one at least once just to try it.

why? conceptually it would be shit if you pay about 10 bucks for that

Scotland only, rest of the UK doesn't have them. When I went to Edinburgh for work, I got one, but most of the items were worse than what I'd expect had I ordered them from a more specialised takeaway. Was also extremely greasy yet overly starchy, so it was super grease soaked in some bites then impossible to swallow the next.

are the entrees themselves usually the same like pic related (pizza, kebab, fries, wings)?

From where I ordered, more or less? It had some Chinese menu items so for mine I got buffalo wings, a chicken n peppers pizza, load of donner meat and some salt and chilli pepper chips. There were some "indian" options too iirc, curry samosas, lamb koftas and onion bhajis (sp?). From what I saw in other menus while I was there too, it was a similar sort of array - sometimes burgers would be included too.

That sounds pretty fucking based for the purposes of sloppy drunk meals. Chinese wouldn't work welll with a munchie meal besides maybe chow mein and orange chicken. Fucking Indian items like samosas and chicken or fish pakoras and bhajis would be dope with a munchie meal, would remind me of home desu. sounds based

Yeah, it was okay once I got a buzz going and wasn't actively trying to eat it as a meal, suits a snack eating kinda mood like bar food I suppose. A lot of fucking work to finish off though, and little can be salvaged for the next day if you don't eat it all in one sitting.

All in all id say it was a drunk 7/10 sober 4/10, would probably get again just without kebab meat because that was extremely greasy and the taste bled over into other things. Worth it if you're ever in Scotland, not worth travelling for imo.

Chinese place in Manchester does them and it'd mainly salt and pepper stuff.

Ever managed to replicate the Chinese takeaway salt and pepper flavour at home? I moved to South Wales a few years back and while they have salt and chilli stuff it's not white the same, nor has it been when I've tried to figure it out myself. Been missing that taste from back home in Preston.

Hah nah, the munchie box. Scotland itself is a gorgeous county once you get out of the cities, even the food is much better once you're willing to check some of the smaller villages littered about. It's cold and wet and if its too urbanised then no matter where you are, you're essentially in a council estate. Checking out the lochs and some of the more northern extremes was well worth it though.

I was on Google maps Street viewing one of the no-go zones in my area and saw an advertisement for munchy box in the window of a Chinese chippy for 13 Albion shekels. Didn't think they existed here either, so maybe they're finally taking off.
