The only street food I ever had were hot dogs, pretzels and meatball sandwiches. The meatball sandwiches were good and cheap too (the city I spent a lot of time in was very italian). And the pretzels were huge lol.

Mm.. When I visited NYC I went to The Halal Guys cart on 53rd and 6th street.. It was the best street food I've ever had :O
I had a lamb and rice plate, and boy was it delicious

Fried samosas are pretty good....

they are potato veggies (sometimes beef/chicken) all mashed together and then fried with an outer layer of dough....sort of similar to a indian spicy chicken pot pie (chicken/beef being optional)....man those are awesome along with a 32oz coca cola.....hits the spot but may have trouble at the comode esp with gas ....but it's worth it

I wonder who invented meat on a stick?

And then named it barbecue?

hot potato knish sold on the streets of NYC was always my favorite snack and they were very cheap - you can't get these anymore, not because of the price, but because the health department finds these ventures rather unsanitary

And then named it barbecue?

The answer is easy if you are descended in any way from the Taino {Arawak} of the West Indies. Here is Google's answer:



The Origin of the Word Barbecue. Today I found out why barbecues are called that. The word “barbecue” comes from the Caribbean word “barbacoa.” Originally, barbacoa wasn't a way of cooking food, but the name of a wooden structure used by Taino Indians to smoke their food.Dec 2, 2013





These are the same folks who invented the word "maize" or "maiz" in their language.

Here in the UK we have loads of different types of Street food.

In my city there are

Hotdog/burger stands

Fish and Chips

Roasted Horse Chestnuts usually in winter

Sweet corn stands

Pizza/wrap stands


Plus in last few years there has been a number of
Street food sellers selling Vietnamese/Afghan/Chines/Mexican etc food springing up.






There is a very large food court set out like a street market where you can also buy just about
any type of street food from across the world with seating areas. It's massive so one picture does not
do it justice but here is one.
