Street Food Vendors From Around the World
In general understanding, street food is a quick meal or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a vendor, often from a portable stall or a push cart or basket. Street foods are often regional, though many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. Tourists and locals alike often flock to these roadside vendors because it gives people a closer connection with the food, culture and tradition of a region. Besides, they are cheap. The street food culture is found all over the world but particularly prevalent in the continent of Asia. If you love traveling and eating street food, you will enjoy this fascinating picture gallery.
