Nothing beats a fish burger from an old school NZ Fish & chip shop.
Massive bun, fillet of fish, tartare, coleslaw, lettuce, tomato, pickle.
Reckon it must have come in at night on 2,000 calories.
(spot the guy on a diet)
In Palmy, Golden Takeaways skipped the tomato, lettuce and pickle, but whacked 3 full pieces of fish in - all for $3.80. So big you didn't need chips so you had coins leftover to play Shinobi while you waited

You used to go to your local takeaway joint and get an individually made burger. I'm a sucker for a good pie cart burger
Used to do shift work near Wellington railway station. Pie cart did burgers with cheese and grated carrot. Bloody great.

By geez there was a pie cart at Wellington station as long as I remember, think it was there when I used to hang out a bit in Wellington as a teenager 50 years ago.
F*** I just read what I wrote 50 years??? I getting old!!!!!

Crinkle-cut chips in tall cartons. When you finished your chips, there was about an inch of salt left in the bottom of the carton

They also did a 5 piece burger too. It was soooo good at 3am. Is it still operating?

Crinkle cut fries are still available in supermarkets and are wonderfully old school

I'm not sure mate. But yeah, sometimes they would shove extra fish down the side of the bag cos it couldn't fit inside the burger proper, magic stuff!

Shinobi? When we were there - it was an old, old-school car-racing game, with a broken steering wheel, so the drunkards would line up, and you just fucking spun the wheel as hard as you could in each direction, to steer a little to either side.
Brilliant when drunk... violently hurling the wheel from side to side, while that tiny waiting area is full of pissed up fluffybunnies waiting on their fish-burgers. -

When Shinobi went to 40c per play the car game got more play-time! Good fun, nothing subtle about it as you say!

@canefan @victor-meldrew My local Kebab shop still does crinkle cut fries in tall cartons and yes there is a lot of salt at the bottom.
If I have a few too many Hazy's the Kebab shop is right across from the bar. Lamb Doner with lots of chilli sauce and a side of fries completes the evening.

When I lived in Edinburgh I used to cook on Saturdays at a wine bar and would walk there in the morning basically doing the opposite walk to pissed punters from town the night before.
You could map how close to the kebab shop you were by the piles of stuff on the ground.
First there would be the vomited meat and sauce, then the pita a bit up the road. Little trails of lettuce would lead to discarded tomato...... -
@crucial UK kebabs are gross - and just what you (think you) need after a night out. I always used to get two and would invariably wake up with this soggy package of congealed fat and some sort of protein in my jacket pocket the next morning

Sounds like a regretful pull.

I remember having a great kebab in Paris, and their savoury galettes were great too, like a big crepe cone of ham and cheesie deliciousness. And the gyros I had on Santorini were nek level kebabs, even had fries inside!!
