We've put together a list of the
top 10 best street foods around the world.
Are you hungry you like it some food?
JERK CHICKEN IN JAMAIKA
The only jerk around here is the spicy marinade on this Jamaican chicken. The next time you're in Jamaica don't spend your entire vacation drinking your troubles away at your all-inclusive resort. Granted that does sound amazing but you'll be missing out on a fantastic cultural and culinary experience. On the streets of Jamaica, you'll find several jerk Hut's. That is places where you can purchase their world-famous jerk chicken.
This chicken gets its name from the process through
which it is prepared. Jerking the chicken essentially poking it with a sharp
object. Put it down before you poke somebody's eye out. Makes it
extraordinarily flavourful this flavour is further enhanced by a sweet and
spicy marinade. This method of cooking is what gives jerk chicken the smoky
taste that has people from all over the world swarming to get their hands on
some. I need it now.
CHURROS IN SPAIN
Short rows are a street food staple but the ones you can buy on the streets of America don't hold a candle to the ones you can get in Spain. If you've never had the pleasure of eating at Euro before this delicious Spanish dessert is a fried cheap pastry. Think fried donut stick that is sprinkled with sugar. If for some reason you're still not convinced they're typically served with melted chocolate. Which can be drizzled over them or come on the side for dipping. Churros originated as a snack food making it acceptable to eat them at any time of day. Later your soul mate.
The history
of the churro is a bit of a mystery. Some say that they originated in China and
were brought to Portugal after which they arrived in Spain where they gained
their now iconic star shape. Others claim that it was created by Spanish
shepherds who didn't have access to fresh pastries made at bakeries but easily
make churros themselves. Either way we're very happy that churros came to be
because there's no question that they're one of the best street foods in the
world. Mom churros are good for you their ethnic.
CURRYWURST IN GERMANY
If there's one food Germany is famous for its probably sausage. So, it's no surprise that that's what the country is making this list for. Curry Wurst is prepared with pork sausages. Pork sausage .as you may have gathered from the name there's quite a bit of curry involved in curry Wurst so if that's not your thing maybe skip this one. However, if you're a fan of curry you'll probably love this dish because the sausage is covered with both curry ketchup and curry powder.
Depending on where you buy it
the sausage may be served whole or sliced into smaller pieces. Curry Wurst
usually comes with a serving of fries which we can all agree makes everything. Better
this street food was first created in 1949 and since then it has become hugely
popular with approximately 800 million curry Wurst being eaten in Germany each
year. That's a lot.
CALZONE IN ITALY
Pizza is your grandfather's calzone. This food item originated in Naples which also happens to be the birthplace of everyone's favourite meal the thin crust pizza. This fact is no coincidence since calzones are in Serie basically just folded over pizzas. However, the experiences of eating these two meals are different enough that they are not as interchangeable as they may seem. We order calzones cut them open eat them like pizza. The crust of a calzone is made with a salted bread dough and the fillings vary from region to region inside you'll typically find cheese such as mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan or a combination of all three the calzones.
You buy from street vendors are significantly smaller than the ones you would get in a restaurant making them much easier to eat as you go about your day. This is a pretty important criterion for street food to meet especially if you are a tourist and have a busy schedule. This way you can enjoy amazing food native to the country you're visiting without sacrificing any of your sightseeing time.
BAKLAVA IN TURKEY
I like this baklava. If you find yourself in Turkey don't miss out on baklava. Find yourself a street vendor and give yourself the sugar rush of a lifetime. If you've never had a baklava before you're in for a real treat here. Made of several fine layers of pastry and garnished with sweetener usually syrup or honey, it makes for one of the most incredible desserts you will ever taste. This food item is an almost universal.
Crowd pleaser very few people who taste it don't love. It doesn’t forget to
explore the Turkish food scene beyond baklava because there are many other
unsung Street foods that you'll probably end up loving from deserts to snacks
to full meals there's so much to explore so get out there and immerse yourself
in culture one food at a time. You're gonna see the world and experience new
cultures.
GYROS IN GREECE
Gyros can be found in food courts everywhere. But you don't know what you're missing until you've tried the real thing and that's saying a lot because the American hero tastes pretty incredible. The word gyro refers to the way the meat is prepared the meat which is usually either lamb chicken or beef is cooked on a vertical rotisserie. It's sliced directly off the rotisserie to be served when you place your order. It can be seasoned with pretty much every spice you can imagine from garlic powder and oregano to cinnamon and cumin.
The meat of your choosing is then wrapped in a
delicious doughy pita and topped with tomato onions and lots of tzatziki sauce.
Euros make for a pretty filling meal which is ideal when you're a tourist as
they'll keep you satisfied as you go about your busy day or lazy day of
lounging by the beach whichever you prefer. I suggest the latter.
POUTINE IN CANADA
Nothing quite beats a hot poutine at 3:00 the morning after a night out on Montreal Saint Laurent Boulevard. While it can be found all over Canada it's safe to say that the province of Quebec is the place to be if you're craving a poutine. There have been many. Many variations of this Canadian dish however the fact of the matter is that the plain old original poutine will forever be the favourite. It's not often that you're no further than a stone's throw away from a greasy spoon where you can get your poutine fix for a reasonable price. Who wants a poutine, okay?
Traditionally
poutine includes french fries, cheese curds and a whole lot of gravy there's a
reason this greasy dish is the perfect way to end a night of drinking. However,
it's also a favourite meal for sporting events movies and casual hangouts with
friends. Like a lot of the entries on this list poutine doesn't really make for
a nutrient-dense well-balanced meal but eating street food is really about
experiencing culture trying new things and bonding with others over food. And gives
you the chance to bond relax reconnect.
AREPA IN COLUMBIA
I brought my world-famous area Pass. In Columbia, it's acceptable to enjoy a rapist no matter the time of day. Made of maize dough arepa our flat round breads that can be served with a variety of different toppings including meat cheese and avocado. It can be cut to form a sandwich or simply eaten with the accompaniments on top. This dish has a rich history. As it originated nearly 3,000 years ago in northern South America. South America South America. An area that is today split into Colombia and Venezuela. The recipe and method of preparation has changed very little since its conception making it one of the oldest native dishes in the country.
As
such the arepa is considered an important piece of the Colombian heritage. In fact,
there is actually a festival in its honour. From the months of August to
December each of five major Colombian cities takes a turn organizing its own
celebration. For what is called the Colombian arepa festival. When in Colombia
absolutely try to get your hands on this delectable food item. And if you're
there when the festival is running all the better what better way to immerse
yourself into a new culture. Come on babe get on the bike i've got a plane
waiting for us.
POMMES FRITES IN BELGIUM
French fries good but Palfrey. Even though it's what it sounds like pommes frites are not fried apples. Although that actually doesn't sound horrible. Nope um frites are in fact French fries but they're not just any French fries. They're fried twice. It makes sense that Belgium would be home to some of the world's best fries. As it may actually be their birthplace. That title is up for debate as France would like to claim it for itself as well. Regardless the Belgians have been making fries for a very long time and they've gotten very good at it. Practice makes perfect bubby. To make the experience even more enjoyable street vendors will offer you several options of condiments there's the traditional ketchup and mayonnaise but if you're feeling adventurous you can dabble with some of the Belgian sauces provided if you try a different sauce each time it will always be a new experience that way you'll never get bored of pome frites.
Not that anyone has
ever gotten tired of fries before but you get the idea. Be warned these fries
are served fresh so they're quite hot. It's an objective fact that fries taste
better when they're hot and fresh but just don't dig in with too much gusto or
risk burning yourself. It's difficult to be patient especially when it comes to
fries since waiting for them to cool down is wasting valuable time that could
be spent wealth enjoying said fries. You may end up with a bit of a burned
tongue but it'll have been totally worth. It no pain no gain right.
HOT DOG IN THE UNITED STATES
Hot dogs are getting cold, hot dog. How could we go an entire video about street food without mentioning the American hot dog? Every movie or television show set in New York City will show one of the characters buying a hot dog from a street vendor at some point. It's inevitable. Hot dogs get a lot of hate but if they're made right they can make for a delicious meal. It's really the toppings that make the hotdogs. The options are endless there's your classics ketchup mustard and relish but there's also cheese chilli and cabbage. Regardless of your taste pretty much everyone can find a garnish they enjoy. Hot dogs are the staple foods of county fairs and sporting events but they also make for a convenient meal for anyone on the go. Hot dog vendors are especially prominent in big cities like, Detroit, Chicago and New York.
Whether
you're in the city for pleasure or business you might find yourself in a hurry
and hot dogs are the perfect way to get a meal in while still having time to
accomplish everything on your to-do list. Additionally, maybe it's because they
bring back memories of barbecues but there's something about hot dogs that
elicits feelings of summertime celebrate the arrival of warm weather by
rounding up a group of friends and going to enjoy some of this amazing street
food. You can carry your food with you as you explore the city or you can find
a park bench and simply sit and talk. Either way there's nothing better. Best day
in my life.
