Why hasn't the munchy box concept taken off in America?

I live in rural America and there are at least three restaurants within delivery distance that offer munchie boxes. Your shitpost thread is several years too late to be relevant.

>>21528709 (OP)
they have enough hearty stopping foreign sloppa. if america actually started using the munchbox thing , it would destroy the nation within months. the whole fiasco with "supersize" will look like a far long joke

wicked as fuck dude!

The US doesn't have small eateries the same way the UK does. Yeah they exist but the market is absolutely dominated by big corporation chain restaurants so you'll never hear of the small ones. And everything is so far spread out in the US, you can't just walk 5 minutes down the road to a local pub, thus making it even harder to find out about local places. Also much higher barrier for entry for small eateries in the US, our FDA is much more strict than European laws regarding food safety and minimums in place to be allowed to sell food (legally).

NTA but sometimes theres something that annoys you so much but you cant help disgust yourself by watching it, i think its like when a car crashes and you know you shouldnt look but something will compel you to. and then you notice some brazilians face smeared

>>21528783
I think both restaurants in the US and US restaurant goers take themselves too seriously to get stuff like munchie boxes. This pic is from a fast casual ramen place that's in an absolutely terrible strip mall in a terrible location in a terrible little-mexico town. All that and they have suede backed barstools for fast casual ramen.
I think Americans go out to eat rarely enough that they expect every dining experience to be something special, and they're tipping too so they get to act entitled. I think for at least right now Americans are a little too self aware to large scale eat fried slop out of a cardboard box but with the way the economy is going it may become much more normalized as people drop their expectations.

>>21528818
You can help it. Seriously, all this shit does is make you miserable in the long term.

The papa bowl was such trash. They basically just took the leftover toppings and sold it on their own so their employees wouldn't eat them. Because God forbid employees in a kitchen can eat things that otherwise would be thrown away

>>21528892

>>21528709 (OP)
Because in the USA we do all of those things well, so we're happy filling up on one thing.
Over there they half-ass everything so it's just a pile of randumb fried garbage of several origins.
And we may not be far behind, but England has a bit worse drinking culture. I know booze is tied to those "munchy boxes".

We will get a pizza or burger and fries or fried chicken from places that specialize. No one here really makes 7 kinds of ethnic shit to thrown in a box. We *specialize.

"Wow... five dollars."

>>21528783
stop saying "eateries"

>>21528954
NTA but look at the contents of the box. It's all very high-carb. High-carb high-fat is about as bad as it gets. Low-carb high-fat is a different story, this ain't that. And I don't even think keto's healthy if you're exclusively eating unhealthy foods, it's not automatically a good diet because you cut carbs, if you're eating trash it's still trash

>>21528783
>our FDA is much more strict than European laws regarding food safety
Everybody knows that's not true.

>>21529109
Anon I work for a European company that designs food manufacturing equipment and sells it all over the world. The European designers won't even touch our equipment here in the US because of all the extra rules and regulations that have to be accounted for, we have to have our own US based design team to modify the equipment to be legal here.
You can argue whether our rules are "better" than those in Europe but I promise you we definitely have more.

>>21529112
The rules you have for manufacturing are for protectionist reasons and it applies to pretty much all imported goods, you know that as well as I do but when it comes to food safety, the FDA fails dramatically pinned against EU standards. .

>>21528783
>The US doesn't have small eateries the same way the UK does
Yes we do, you've never been here. Every euroshart thinks the only restaurants available in America are McDonalds and KFC

Because Domino's or Taco Bell or McDonalds don't sell them

eh there are little shithole taquerias all over southern california. you're right about tipping though. I think feeling pressured to tip for what's effectively a hastily tossed together box of slop would turn a lot of people off.

British men live self-inflicted painful existences where their only joy in life is being obsessed with a sport they're not physically fit enough to play themselves.

This creates a shitty, vindictive small minded man who can only comprehend one single source of enjoyment in life concentrated into one single idea; benidorm.

Everything else is shit and it's clearly nothing to do with their shitty physical and mental health destroying their world view, the answer is benidorm.

England is the most depressing country in the world, even Finland is better.

Now would be the perfect time to open a munchie box business in North America with the state of the economy. They have to be cheap like the UK though. Like not over $10.

>>21528709 (OP)
But we do, just a particular type.
A chain pizza is a munchie box with bread, cheeses, tomato, oil, salty meats, and veggies all bundled together in a way that helps it keep its heat for travel to the place where it's eaten and easily pulled apart to be sharable with others or eaten bit by bit yourself without the use of utensils.

>Why hasn't the munchy box concept taken off in America?
It's foot traffic fast food without the drive thru, without a huge parking lot and the takeout 1,2,3 parking spaces, I feel.

Miami/S. Florida which has expat MAJORITY from the entire Caribbean and the Americas had food of every culture, and I'd argue the dozens, possible hundreds of neighborhood Fritangas is better than a munchy box menu. It a cross between fried foods to order, and hot serving trays of homey soups, rices, crispy apps, pastries, and fresh steaks, Nica food. They stuff a takeout box to the brim, where 1 dinner can feed 6 people, and you'll get fresh hot sauce and salsas or curtado slaws too. It's quite similar, and it might be Nica food, Venezuelan, uhh Dominican, or Cuban, whatever, it's all there.

Same with DFW. Got nothing like that here that I've seen or heard of. You can get platters, samplers and group meals but that's not the same.

>>21531995
>I have been to England and Finland
No you haven't you lie.

>>21528824
They even want tips when you just pick up the order and leave.

Bartenders expect tips for pouring beers. If you don't tip them they will start ignoring you or making your drinks weak

>>21529115
This is a common eurofag cope but I've yet to see anyone list a single solid example. You just look at pictures of American slop online and pretend you don't have cheap shitty food in your country, too

>>21529384
Living in a city doesn't make you important or interesting. It's not a personality to do the same thing as most people in the same places.

we call it the appetizer sampler platter.

>>21532517
Definitely not the same thing

>>21532521
putting fried foods in a box must be a british cultural thing.
he we put them in baskets, or on platters.

Taco Bell does this still

>>21532479
Just yesterday I went to a fast food place, some small local chain that does teriyaki bowls. I made a to-go order with the cashier, hit $0.00 on the tip and she immediately made 'that' face when she turned the iPad back around.
I should have checked before leaving but of course they "forgot" to put my side order in the bag. I didnt notice until I was already home. I threw the teriyaki bowl in the trash as a precaution, no idea what they did to fuck with that.

>>21532479
Not just pouring beers. If you order something in a can, they expect $1-4 just for pulling it out of the cooler and handing it to you. Sometimes they'll pop the tab a bit, as a service, but I really don't want their hands where my mouth is going on that can. Who knows what stuff they've touched in that place tonight

>>21531530
>We don't have munchyboxes in England, it's a Scottish thing. Tell me more about my country though.
That's like saying "We don't have white sauce in Georgia, that's an Alabama thing. Tell me more about America, though." You're both part of the same country. Since 1707, iirc.

>>21528709 (OP)
Most bars have some sort of sample platter that is basically a munchie box with all sorts of appetizer type foods like french fries, chicken tenders, cheese curds, jalapeno poppers, etc...

UK has genuine competition from independently owned chippies. in US it's mostly franchised / corporate slop that collude on price. munchy box is too based and does not create max profits for corpo so they won't market it

>>21529109
Speaking as a German - we have technically higher food standards than the US. Sadly there is pretty much zero enforcement. There are too many second and more chances before penalties will be applied and most of them simply won't work for small businesses because its too quick and easy to sell your shit flinger to a relative and open up the same restaurant again with a slightly changed name.

Yeah maybe if you went to some dogshit place or took advantage of a good deal where your meal is decided for you, 15 dollars for two people wouldn't buy you a good meal from a decent place in 2008 dude. It's awful now but you're blinded.

>>21528783
>our FDA is much more strict than European laws regarding food safety and minimums in place to be allowed to sell food (legally).
Everything before this part was true. You might be a bit more accurate if you said local hygiene rules are somewhat more aggressively enforced since the UK has a weird system where you get a rating but don't have to display it visibly meaning places with actual shit in the food aren't easily distinguished from good quality places except by either word of mouth or online autism research but that's not something that comes from the FDA.

The UK 100% has a worse binge drinking culture than the USA. Among women particularly, nothing is as degenerate as young bong women on a night out.

>You can argue whether our rules are "better" than those in Europe but I promise you we definitely have more.
Europe also has a huge number of unnecessary and intentionally different rules and regulations. In both cases it's basically just protectionism by a different name. It started off as a good idea to preserve quality and standards but was abused after lobbying and to please individual countries to keep the federalisation project going. Ditto stuff like DPO where the super special historic region restrictions are regularly changed to increase manufacturing space.

I live somewhere rural enough if you even tried to sell boxes like this everyone would ask why the fuck when they could just make it at home better lmao.
