What is munchie box?

A munchie box is a popular dish in Scotland, typically consisting of a selection of fast food items such as deep-fried chicken wings, pizza slices, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, kebab meat, chips, and sometimes even a burger or a hot dog. It is often served in a large pizza box or similar container, making it a convenient option for sharing at parties or gatherings.

Munchie boxes are known for being indulgent, greasy, and high in calories, making them a hit among those looking for a satisfying and filling meal. They are most commonly found in fast food establishments and takeaways in Scotland, where they have become a popular late-night snack option.

The origins of the munchie box are unclear, but it is believed to have been inspired by American-style takeout boxes and the trend of combining various fast food items into one meal. While traditionally containing mainly fried and greasy foods, there are now variations that cater to different dietary preferences, such as vegetarian or halal options.
