I'm not sure what part of the world you're from but in the UK, Chinese restaurants and takeaways popularised then concept of the Munchy Box.
Basically, a pizza box rammed with carbs and meats - chips, rice, battered chicken balls, onion rings, satay sticks, salads, all sorts of shit.
It's like a happy meal for an adult. Being absolutely smashed while troughing it only adds to the experience. Usually good for then following morning too.
Having lived in both places I'm now reflecting on the uncanny overlap of culinary traditions ahaha
No wonder I feel at home here.
I know you guys invented the language, but I don’t understand half the words you just said, lol
But it sounds yummy, so I’ll take your word for it
My apologies 😂
In short, a cardboard box full of food that contains the fat and salt content that exceeds the recommended daily intake for an entire small African country, for about £12 (~US$20?) which is absolutely fantastic for filling you up after having one or two or seventeen too many alcoholic beverages that evening.
Well, as an American, I definitely know what that is, lol
Also, £12 is about $15.71.
It used to be about 2:1 in the exchange rate, but both of our currencies have been slipping lately
As an american, what about what they said wasn't something you could understand? Like, seriously, the only thing potentially understandable to not know is satay, if you don't live in a metropolitan area.
I'm not familiar with "battered chicken balls" not sure if that's another way of saying nuggets or something else. Satay is something I miss after moving out of a metropolitan area. I should probably make some. My wife loves the spicy peanut sauce more than the meat on a stick.
