A parmo is a popular takeway food originating in Middlesbrough which consists of a breaded cutlet of chicken or pork topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese.

It is not clear from the post which Manjaro's site the food was actually ordered from however, as the chain does have 18 stores across the UK.

Happy Monday's first gig of their tour is in Glasgow on Thursday though so it is possible tha Bez has stopped in Lancashire on his way up!
