Move over 'spice bag' -- the 'munchy box' is the new revelation in takeaway food

*drools*

OVER THE PAST week, you may have seen an image of a ‘mega spice box’ or a ‘munchy box’ doing the rounds on social media.

Be warned: it will make you feel very hungry.

So, what is it exactly?

The ‘munchy box’ is a Scottish delicacy that basically involves flinging an assortment of fast good into a box. Think chicken wings, chips, kebab meat, garlic bread and onion rings all served up together in a pizza box.

Like so.

Recently, however, Chinese takeaways across Scotland have started putting their own spin on the humble munchy box.

So what’s in it?

Well, the munchy box for sale in this Glasgow takeaway contains 10 onion rings, 8 chicken balls, 6 ribs, 8 vegetable spring rolls, 8 large pieces of shredded chicken, fried rice, chips, sauce and a can for a measly £12.
