I like street foods!
Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or vendor, often from a portable food booth, food cart or food truck. While some street foods are regional, many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are also classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day. Street food is Convenient - quickly available for people on the go. Cheap - important for poor consumers who may not be able to afford a nutritious meal somewhere else. Tasty, authentic and culturally enriching - as opposed to eating the same fast food from food chains with outlets around the world! Today, people may purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as to obtain reasonably priced and flavorful food in a sociable setting, to experience ethnic cuisines, and also for nostalgia. Historically, in places such as Viet Nam, street food was purchased because the urban poor did not have kitchens in their homes.
