Food Food and Food is what makes the world move. From times immemorial animals and man have fought just for food.
Do you know that Street food was once a necessity for the urban poor?
What is Street food? According to
Wikipedia,” 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 stall.
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.
Today, people may purchase street food for a number of
reasons including "ethnic taste, nostalgia, and the opportunity to eat
quickly obtained, reasonably priced and flavorful food in a sociable
setting." Historically, in
places such as ancient Rome, street food was purchased because urban poor did
not have kitchens in their homes.” Want to learn more check here.
After increasing hearing about I ate Tawa pulav or Pav Bhaji today to Shorma, momos I was worried about the hygiene and wanted
to recreate at least a few at home. So when Pari,
