one of the best things about traveling is eating street food imo. Lonely planet have released a street food guide book

http://www.news.com.au/travel/galleries/gallery-e6frflw0-1226269492804?page=1

i recently had a Kebab in Brunei that was chick and lamb and some kind of creamy sause with zuchini and tahini / homus and onion. all in a pita bread. was amazing drooling

I miss doner kebab stands from Germany. There's one place here that makes decent doners but I hardly ever make it there anymore.

I may have to stop in for lunch now...

Some of the best street food I ever had was in... Cairo, Egypt.

No idea what possessed me to be that insanely brave, but, there you go.

The food was great, especially that Kusherie stuff. And I didn't pick up any lifelong parasites.

That I know of.

buying street food with uncooked veggies in south asia is like asking to get amoeba dysentery, that's spending the next 3-4 weeks shitting yourself 20 pounds lighter.. I know some of you would need it.

Yeah. The Egyptian foray into cooked street food was as far as I dared.

No way I'd be buying crap off the roadside in most of Asia.

Maybe parts of urban Japan. Maybe.

They're so unpredictable and finicky. Even in Paris I ran into that.

Sometimes great. Sometimes blech.

Paris is not that great a place for french food. Crepes are Breton but in general the food capital of france is Lyon, not Paris.

I ran into the same thing in Nice, with Crepes and various other food. The seafood in Nice was solid, though.

I haven't been to Lyon.

I've got a good bud who is a trained chef. He's the expert I rely on. He and I have planned that when our kids are a couple years older, we're headed on a family food tour of Europe. I'm already earmarking the money for it. Mmmmmm mmmm.

Things are so globalized and people transplant so much these days though, it is hard to tell.

One of the Top 5 bar-b-q meals I have ever had (and I've had a LOT) was in... Massachusetts.

Go figure. <shrug>

Yeah I'm not saying there are no good crepe joints in Nice but it's not exactly where you would go hoping to just walk in off the street and find one.

I'm sure there's good BBQ in Minnesota too. Somewhere. Maybe.

True. That's why next trip I'm gonna take my expert. He's already got a laundry list of places to try. And he's not snobby. He'll probably go a little Anthony Bourdain on my ass.

We'll see. Look forward to the culinary experiment.

i figure if its good enough for the locals to eat it good enough for me

in south east asia they dont have any food regulations so you know the food is safe. the place would go out of business if it sold bad food grin


oh another awesome type of street food: banana pancakes in Thailand or Indonesia. very different from each other but both awesome

Agreed. grin

otoh, I also avoid street food for the most part. I find local eateries with (mostly) roofs exciting enough, although it does depend on where I'm traveling. I wouldn't take any chances in most 3rd world countries and that is where I tend to end up. Europe, not so bad, and I've had some pretty awesome gyros in the cities of Germany.
