What's your favorite "street" food?

I'm leary of eating any type of street food. I'm worried about bacteria, and things like when was the last time the person washed their hands? Sometimes I do indulge at our arts festivals, but only after I observe the vendors and their handling of food. I love the Thai and Chinese booths. I will not eat a hot dog from a street vendor. Blech! What are your thoughts on the controversy at Geno's (I think that's the one)Philly cheese steak stand? Maybe it's not him, but the one who has a sign posted that one must order in English. How often do you indulge in Philly Cheese Steaks? Also, how often do you eat scrapple? I'm originally from PA Dutch country. I had to ask...

i just love burgers from street vendors. The smell of frying onions do it for me every time. Oh how i love a burger with onions and mustard eaten greedily in the street, happy times blessed be

My favorite food on the go from a venor off the streets would be an American Indian fry bread. (mostly at pow wows) Or, a taco from a stand.

Fried plaintain chips with chili-lime sauce in Mexico, or funnel cakes!

We don't have street vendors in our smll time only during the fairs. My favorites are the french fries and corn dogs, and even a fried twinkie, it's delicious..

there are a lot of street foods in the philippines that are really good! i like fisballs, kikiam and squid balls, with their sweet our spicy sauce. there's also a new one called calamares, but it's actually a big squid that are cut into pieces, and they are breaded, fried, and are eaten with vinegar. but my favorite street food in the philippines is ISAW! it's actually chicken intestines that are cleaned, seasoned and are grilled in barbeque sticks. it sounds gross but it tastes really good!

My favorite street food has got to be those giant corn dogs with a little mustard. My next favorite is elephant ears! (Gosh, with all these food threads I found today, I'm going to have to go and raid the refrigerator, lol!)

pizza and biryaniii--love to have it

You know, I don't have that much experience with street food vendors. I would have to say that I actually love all kinds of foods. But sadly, they do not love me. Since discovering that I am borderline diabetic and not allowed to have many foods that I love without medication, I have had to reduce my carb intake and it has limited me to veggies and meats. But my most favorite thing to grab on the go would either be pizza or fries. Both of which I am no longer allowed to have. :(

I actually like the hot dog vendors that sell the hot dogs. They are always cooked right and not all, but some aren't left in the hot water. Those vendors that also sell the snacks like the bread pretzels or the cookies really hit the spot. There is just something about me and hot food. I like food when its hot because when it's hot, it's also fresh.

Street foods are not recommended due to health reasons. They are unhygeneic. The vendors are themselves dirty, and so is the food with all the dust and pollution around.

My fav. street side food is Mexican Tacos and Burritos. they are soooo very tasty. today also i remember the taste and cannot compare it with any of the burger or pizza here.

I didn't know this. I moved here a year ago from North Carolina and never knew much about Philadelphia. But my grandson is in school there and I''m right at the shore. I need to come hang out in town. Are there any falafel stands? I fell in love with it in Berkeley. Mmm now that's food. A good hot dog on the street is like few other things- the only way I'll eat them. Thank you- this sounds super.

i do not live in an area where they sell food on the streets.

we don't have that available to us here in Idaho.

Bhel puri and Pav Bhaji. (Indian)

i dont usually eat food that can be bought in the streets...but the most delicious food in the street ive tasted so far is fish ball

Oooh. I like corn dogs! I also like meatbuns! :D

Here in Amish counrty Lancaster Pa we dont have many street vendors. There is one lady who sits on the corner with a huge driveable hotdog cart?/vechile but she cooks the dogs fresh. Other then that we dont have any street vendors. There is always the farmers market mmmmm they got some banging food there.
