The Scoobie Snack is a special kind of hamburger that's very popular in Glasgow, Scotland. It's a favorite fast food item, especially for students looking for a quick and tasty meal.
What's Inside a Scoobie Snack?
A Scoobie Snack is packed with yummy ingredients! It usually has:
- a juicy hamburger patty
- a slice of Lorne sausage (a type of Scottish sausage)
- crispy bacon
- a potato scone (like a flat, savory potato cake)
- a fried egg
- a slice of processed cheese
All these ingredients are served inside a soft hamburger bun. It often comes with tomato ketchup and brown sauce for extra flavor. You can even add fried onions if you like!
Even though it has many breakfast items like sausage, bacon, and egg, people usually eat the Scoobie Snack at lunchtime.
This unique burger was first created by The Maggie Snack Bar. This food truck has been serving delicious food for over 50 years in Glasgow, at the corner of Byres Road and Great Western Road.
The Super Scooby: A Giant Burger!
In 2009, a cafe in Bristol called The Jolly Fryer invented an even bigger version called the Super Scooby. This huge sandwich is made with:
- four quarter-pound beef patties
- eight slices of bacon
- eight slices of cheese
- 12 onion rings
- six slices of tomato
It's all served in a sesame seed bun with salad, lettuce, barbecue sauce and mayonnaise.
This giant sandwich stands eight inches tall! It contains 2,645 kilocalories (11,070 kJ), which is a lot of energy, more than an adult needs in a whole day. The Super Scooby costs GB£10 and comes with chips. If you can eat both the burger and the chips in one sitting, you get a free Diet Coke!
