Fast food restaurant fare in Scotland. May include kebab meat, chicken tikka, samosas, chow mein noodles, pakora, naan, and other fast foods and sauces such as curry sauce. Sometimes a salad item. Invariably, chips or fried rice. Not clear whether a munchy box is intended to be consumed as a meal for one but there has been concern of the health implications if it is consumed as such. A less traditional munchie box may also include a pizza, chicken nuggets, garlic bread, mozzarella sticks and coleslaw.
See also the Irish-Chinese spice bag [1] and the dutch kapsalon [2] - northern Europe has a passionate love for spicy adapted ethnic cuisine in giant piles.
