Mine would have to be a greasy donner kebab, although it really does play up on me after with the burps and leaving a very dry mouth the next morning like it's sucked the moisture out of my soul during the night 
What's the sausage like in them?, are they like the mushy ones you get in the tins of beans?
Was very close to having one of these the other day then chicken bake tempted me more.

It's a Teesside delicacy that has slowly spread up to Northumberland and Yorkshire.
I would say 90% of kebab/fish & chip shops/generic northern takeaways sell parmo these days!

I always get a shish and kofte and kebab with salad and pitta. I thought that was relatively healthy, not junk food.

Big Mac Meal but I only have about 2 a year.
they have been sold in Chip Shops in my area for as long as i can remember.
when i was in school in the mid 1990`s, i was at a Chip Shop with a mate and he ordered one and said about how nice they were.
I have been eating them ever since and they have not changed in taste but they are much nicer freshly made.
I am in south west wales so wikipedia they should add that to their list.
I had no idea what was in them but Wikipedia says :
King Rib is an item of food commonly served in fish and chip shops in Scotland and Northern England. Despite its name, it is actually a sweetened patty of minced pork that is fried or deep fried and often available as a "supper" combination meal, i.e. with chips. It is popular in Scotland to purchase a single king rib along with two buttered rolls, splitting the rib accordingly.
Used to be Space Raiders (pickled onion), Monster Munch (beef) and Highland Toffee bars as a kid, now I gorge on absolutely anything Italian (pizza, pasta, desserts - all of it, NOW!!!) or UK-style Chinese (chicken fried rice with salt & chilli chicken).
I had 2 last week! I do work for a franchise operation though. Now on a serious diet.

KFC Hot Wings
They were also my ex’s favourite. On going to Prague, walked past a KFC and they (at the time, unsure now) did a bucket of 50 Hot Wings. I’m normally against eating in chains which we have at home on holiday. As this was our favourite and in such large quantities, we bought a bucket.

May have a nip out for a drive though now!I had 2 last week! I do work for a franchise operation though. Now on a serious diet.
First time I'd eaten one for over 2 years, it was as good as I remembered, but that's it for me.
Used to love going to Germany to visit my dad as they did them in McDonalds over there (called the McRib sandwich), they brought them out over here for a bit but only as temporary items
A chippy near to me used to do them battered and they were terrible as if they'd been sat there keeping warm for 2 weeks, funnily enough they don't do them anymore

Does anyone know of a sauce which is very similar to Big Mac sauce?
