AIBU to find this weird ? 'Single mum munch box'

[sparklefarts]

So if you're in Scotland you will know what a munchy box is. Basically it's a pizza box from the chippy, Indian or Chinese filled with a variety of stuff. DH is out tonight, im throwing a mild strop about food we have in the house and so I was browsing the local Just Eat to see what I might order. One oif the local chippy/Indians do a 'Single Mum Munchy Box'
Why do they think this is specifically for single mums? The chocolate?
It's a bit bat shit right?

Have added a screen shot !

Yawning at the ‘I’m middle class and so much better than the oiks’ comments.
I don’t like the name but a set up for a single person is great, mum , dad or not.
Agree that it’s a lot of food for one though, but then I eat last nights leftover curry for breakfast 😂so maybe you’d have enough for a few calorific sessions!
I haven’t seen a munchy box either, would have loved this a few years ago at 2am after a night on the tiles. It would have saved me wobbling around the kitchen making my own bizarre concoction of a munchy box.

I sort of want to get drunk just to justify having one to cure my hangover

The amount of food listed in that for one person is horrific...

Hmmm, I'm quite partial to a munchy box but they could have named it better like munchy box for 1 or something 😂😂

TrendyNorthLondonTeen - is there any need to be nasty? I’m criticising the name of the offering & the insult inherent in the name.

This is our chinese munchy box 🤤 and a picture of a fried pizza, which actually tastes very nice with some curry sauce and chips.. and i am not a 'chav'

"TrendyNorthLondonTeen - is there any need to be nasty? I’m criticising the name of the offering & the insult inherent in the name"

Calling it a sad bitch box implies people that buy them must be sad bitches does it not? Was there any need for you to be nasty first? 🤔

Not sure about the name but I’ve never wanted anything more than I want haggis fritters right now.
With you. I neeeeeed it. Perhaps with the donner meat too. Someone else can have the other stuff.

TrendyNorthLondonTeen - I didn’t make myself clear, I’ll try to explain it better: I’m a single mum & have had YEARS of snidey references to being a single mum. I perceive the naming of a take away meal, specifically towards single mums, to be derogatory. It’s the implication that you are home alone with the kids & need a carbfest of epic proportions. What more can I say? I find it insulting. I had not intended to be nasty about anything except the concept & the food itself.

I was wondering what a pizza crunch was, thanks to the poster who described it! I’m puzzled as to how the food is put in the box - is it all piled in or is it all individually portioned (I’m wondering how the chocolate gets on if it’s just jumbled in with a pile of hot cooked food)?

WTF!!!! All that for 1 person?!?

I don't know if it's weird, but it seems really reasonably priced!! Slightly miffed with the bowl of cereal I've just had now 😆😆

Oh calm down pearlclutchers, it's not thaaat much food. I could eat that, although probably wouldn't finish the donner meat but it's nice to get a wee taste of everything if you're having a greedy night. Also is 2L of irn bru that bad? Over the course of a weekend?

I read this last night and it inspired me to get a half pizza crunch supper with two pickled onions and some pakora And a 2L bottle of diet irn bru. It was delicious. And I'm a size 6

Screen shot of this delight please...... 😬😬😬😬 Single jingle mingle or married munchy box i dont care. Pray on the single mum thing. Maybe they feel sorry for us meagre folk 😉😉 one way to grab a bargain.

Hahah I promise one day I shall actually order it and post a picture!

Although I can almost guarantee that the Chinese one posted above looks better. I want it

I've just checked my local area on JE and only one local takeaway has a munch(y) box listed ... And no hope of haggis fritters. I lurrrrved deep fried haggis when I lived up there.

Do they deliver Glasgow south?

I want one and I want one NOW !!

Also ha-ha ing at all the Food Police on patrol tonight. Oh how gross etc etc - really? maybe it's my Scottish genes but I could polish that off after a night out no problem!! (Except the doner, don't like them, but everything else - bring it on!). I would have gone for the Cheesy Box myself OP, sounds awesome!!

I really want a macaroni pie too now.

Does it fry ? Aye

That’s great for £10 - wouldn’t really give a monkeys what it was called for a tenner 👍🏻

I dunno if its weird or not but i now want to live in Scotland lol...

What's a macaroni pie?! (aware I could google but it's more fun this way and getting first hand experiences)
I'm clearly not far North enough, I need to be in Scotland as I want a munchy box!

@RosesandRaindrops

They should be rank but are actually amazing!

Pie shell, fill with macaroni cheese then topped with cheese (so the cheese is kinda like a lid)

I’m puzzled as to how the food is put in the box - is it all piled in or is it all individually portioned (I’m wondering how the chocolate gets on if it’s just jumbled in with a pile of hot cooked food)?

Where I used to live it was just bundled into the box (which was taped shut)

Anything extra like drinks, sweets or ice cream came in a separate bag.
