A halal snack pack is an Australian fast food dish, which consists of halal-certified doner kebab meat (lamb, chicken, or beef) and chips.[1] It also includes different kinds of sauces, usually chilli, garlic, and barbecue.[2] Yoghurt or yoghurt sauce,[3][4] cheese, jalapeño peppers, and tabbouleh are also common additions. While the snack pack was traditionally served in a styrofoam container, it is now most commonly served in moulded pulp or cardboard containers, as most Australian states have banned single-use plastic packaging.[5] The snack pack has been described as a staple takeaway dish of kebab shops in Australia.[2][6]

Some Australian restaurant menus refer to the dish as a "snack pack", "snack box" or "mixed plate".[2] The name of the dish was chosen by the Macquarie Dictionary as the "People's Choice Word of the Year" for 2016.[7] In Western Australia, the dish is often called a "meat box", and in Adelaide it is known as an "AB".[a][8][9] The dish also exists in New Zealand, where it is known as meat on chips.[10] Another notable similar phenomena is the Dutch kapsalon.
