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 !

Good lord is all that food for one person? 2 ltr bottle of iron bru ?

leaserspottedmummybird · 14/09/2019 22:28

I think the constipation after that whole meal would be rather epic. Good luck if you order it op.

MT2017 · 14/09/2019 22:28

OMG that sounds disgusting Envy (we need a proper vomit emoticon)

"Pizza crunch is vile, the blandest thing on the menu. Take the cheapest, flavourless pizza you can find and batter and deep fry it."

Because you're supposed to drown it in gravy and salt and vinegar.

I love the way all Scottish munch boxes come with irn bru.

I remember being in a pub in Scotland and all the youngsters were drinking vodka and irn bru. I'd never tried it before but it is a marvellous drink.

Never heard of a munchy box, but also not from Scotland so could be why.

That's is one hell of a random selection of food though! I find this whole concept perplexing. The selection of foods, the name, the 2 litres of Irn Bru for one person..

OpenYourEyes · 14/09/2019 22:44

Surley that box is crying out for a bottle of bucky never mind iron bru.

sparklefarts · 14/09/2019 22:58

Oh god no @OpenYourEyes I think Buckfast if the last thing that needs 🤢🤢🤢

One of my most favourite moments ever was at a Scotland v Italy match and Italy were winning (obviously). The Tartan Army chant went “we’re gonna deep fry yir pizzas, deep fry yir piiiiiizzzzzaaaaas.”

BruceAndNosh · 14/09/2019 23:13

I really want a Chinese munchy box now

taytosandwich · 14/09/2019 23:18

'Do people not eat vegetables?'

Of course. Every munchie box comes with a side portion of steamed broccoli, heritage carrots and lightly cooked spring greens tossed in organic Abernathy mint butter.

Glitteryone · 14/09/2019 23:33

This doesn’t annoy me at all (and I am a single parent). My only thought is that it is a lot of food for one person!

IsobelRae23 · 14/09/2019 23:48

We have these in Wales. Tend to be kebab meant, salad, sauce, chicken pieces, chips and can type thing. Nowhere near as much as yours- is that designed to share with the kids too?

stucknoue · 14/09/2019 23:51

Here they just call it a meal for one, but I cannot get over the junk in it and it must be 2000 calories!

WaggingKnife · 14/09/2019 23:51

I can eat and I can happily eat shite but fuck me that’s a lot of food for a tenner.

stucknoue · 14/09/2019 23:54

Would be £20 at least here (Midlands) never heard of pizza crunch, is it like calzone?

DidYeAyee · 15/09/2019 00:00

All I can think about is pizza crunch drowned in vinegar then dunked in curry sauce.

Shame they ruined Irn Bru Sad

TeeniefaeTroon · 15/09/2019 00:04

This is the munchy box from our local chippie. It feeds the four of us for £15

Never heard of pizza crunch until today, sounds disgusting!

Curry sauce? Pervert.

Longlongsummer · 15/09/2019 00:16

Ha ha! That’s funny. So single mum has no choice of diet Irn Bru unlike one above. But has a shed load of fattening heart attack food to offset their lives.

And yet... I’m hungry right now and I tell you chips and irn Bru are a fantastic combination.

Longlongsummer · 15/09/2019 00:19

Tasty.

Longlongsummer · 15/09/2019 00:21

Ha ha!

Just noticed the ‘with or without nuts’. Is that just for single ladies?!

TeeniefaeTroon · 15/09/2019 00:28

@PrettyShiningPeople I'm
Scottish and I completely agree. Yuck! Same with deep fried/battered pies 🤢
