‘Halal Snack Pack’ has been voted the People’s Choice Word of the Year 2016 by Macquarie Dictionary, defining the meaty treat as “a fast food comprising layers of hot chips, grated cheese, halal doner kebab meat, garlic sauce, barbecue sauce and chilli sauce”.
“The significance of halal snack pack is that it tells us about something once confined largely to the Muslim community that is now surfacing throughout the broader Australian community,” said the Macquarie committee.
Yet Pauline Hanson still refuses to try one. She doesn’t know what she’s missing out on.
