Aren't these munchie boxes just a way for food that would otherwise be tightly packed to go cold more quickly??

This comment should result in a ban from the thread.

It's worth it for the 'all my christmasses come at once' experience of opening one up though.

Yes, what a bizarre comment. Not sure about a ban though.

That curry munchie box is all fur coat and no knickers....It doesn't work for me.

[Cotty]

To be honest that curry munchy box is pretty much my usual curry order, but in a pizza box rather than a paper bag.

You mean very dirty... ?

Agree and that's the attraction

Had a munchy box (9inch) from my local last week. There was a girl in there, slight geordie accent so possible staying in one of the near by hotels and she was on the phone to a friend trying to describe a munchy box. She said that she'd never seen that before.

I wish it was but it's not. It's 3 curries in 3 tubs with sides in a big box...with another 3 pots for sauce. Way too much packaging...Defeats the objective of a single box with everything thrown in.



Lots of boxes is just a normal takeaway.

I'm surprised he didn't throw in a gratuitous comment about Nando's being the dogs wossnames.

No munchy boxes round here either. Not convinced personally, prefer the tightly packed carrier bag. Though suppose one of those boxes does transport more securely, unless car fitted with a curry hook.

[tobinen]

Now I've seen the CMB pics. Super. Probably be decades before anything remotely as that reaches west Berkshire.

This north/south divide has to end.

I've no objection to the contents at all - I've eaten many a 3am kebab in my time. It just seems like throwing a load of meat loose into a cardboard box would result in cold food within 5min of leaving the shop. Surely the point of takeaway is that you don't need to cook it yourself?

Chicken keema peas.... not easily available in the U.K.... one good thing about South Africa is if they say it’s going to be hot it will be!

Looks small but for less than £4 for the keema, rice and a drink that’s not bad

Fair point sir. Perhaps one day in the south I'll be able to test the hypothesis

It is a fair point, and one I have more generally regarding takeaways. Eaten straight away, e.g. kebab kerbside, or fish supper out of the paper likewise, the temperature is OK. Take them home and too often they need, and in our house get, a quick warm up in the oven. Exception being curries and Chinese for some reason, they aren't an issue, though they do sit in a warm oven for second helpings.

It's not an issue in the scheme of things, e.g. fish supper, gets decanter onto baking trays, warms up and restores prime crispiness in the oven, whilst tea being made, bread buttered, plates warmed. Not convinced about the munchy box, it doesn't even keep pizza at the right temperature.

One winter I fancied a kebab, not wanting it to freeze in my hands eating it on the street I had it wrapped to take away. Stuffed it down my jacket and had a lovely kebab baby keeping me warm on the way home, still hot to eat when I got home. Not sure that would work with a pizza box.

[craigjm]

Chips never travel well regardless of whether they are in a munch box, wrapped up tight or whatever and there is nothing worse than cold limp chips

[matrignano]

Some chips do, for example Five Guys' and Bodean's'.
I think these two places double fry them so they are crispier to start with, and stay that way for longer.

No that’s my van (bonus points)
