This is an extreme version of a Scots delicacy known as the "munchy box". Most chippies will offer some version of it, albeit with less deep-fried goods. Usually it has a couple of sausages and a pastie deep-fried, maybe with some chicken goujons, and always with a gently caress-ton of chips.

Reminds me that my local chippy had this special offer running during Easter:



Deep-fried Cadbury's Creme Egg in batter.

I have no real way to describe what this is other than "America".

The first sign we were in trouble was the BBQ sauce. Why even season it beforehand if you're gonna do that?

Is there a single hands-only cooking video series that actually makes good food? They make stuff where the end result photographs well enough but no human being should eat it.

Yeah it's just a kebab with fries. It's good drunk food but not worth the fuss people make over it whenever it's brought up.

Though I guess if you're a poor soul living somewhere without numerous kebab places I can understand that.

Ah yes, take a perfectly fine dish, and "improve it" by making sure the fries are as wet and soggy as possible, and that it becomes impossible to identify any individual component.

It does look like drunk food. Other than that I clearly don't understand the culture of HSP. I'm fine with the meat covered in sauce, but just serving the fries on the side would improve it tenfolds.

Anyone who serves wet and soggy fries deserves guillotine

Carne asada fries and similar are pretty much just an alternative to nachos. Of course it'll be soggy after it's been sitting for a few hours, but it's fine right after it's prepared.

Fries get soggy after a few minutes if covered because all the steam trying to escape the warm fries is trapped.

I enjoy drunk food as much as everyone but I don't understand this. It's not even like it's more work to put them on the side. It's like the fries being soggy is supposed to be a part of the recipe.

Yeah we do take fries very seriously in Belgium why do you ask?

Definitely agree with all of this - especially the dehumanization. Thinking back, I've watched so many cooking programs/videos over the years and the personality of the cook is the the thing that makes me want to keep watching - I think of people like Julia Child, Delia Smith, Justin Wilson - I may never actually cook what they are making but I'll drat well enjoy watching them make it. Reducing all of that to a pair of hands throwing poo poo in a bowl and then deep-frying it is just awful - like factory-farmed cookery vs free-range.

Kebab is meat in bread with sauce so mostly as good as the base ingredients are.

The problem is that while kebab meat is supposed to be like this



This is what you get instead in most cheap kebab shops



See those perfectly even and grey shavings of meat? See the little bubbles in there? It's just mystery meat.


Normal kebab is 100% lamb, but for the western palates they switched to chicken, veal, beef, and more than often, mystery meat.

You aren't missing out, most kebabs served in big cities smell of rancid sweat and taste like a rimjob

There’s only a single kebab place near me. I’ve been there once, and I ordered some shawarma. I didn’t see any rotating meat objects and I’m pretty sure they just cooked my food up on a griddle

There's this amazing Dutch drunk street food called kapsalon (which I know translates to "hair salon/barbershop" but I'm not sure why) which is fries, shwarma/kebab meat, gouda, melt all that then top with shredde lettuce (and I've always had it with tomato, cucumber, and onion too), garlic sauce, and sambal. It's loving amazing.
