Chestnuts in Manhattan in wintertime, warms both hands and stomach.
Prickly pear in Israel, kids sell them from plantings outside the house the way they set up lemonade stands here.

There's a good size Hispanic population here around Little Rock so we have several "taco trucks" that park around town, esp. in the southwest area of town. Authentic Mexican food - de-lic-ous[8D]

There's something wonderful about food from a cart.  One of the things I miss about Philly - breakfast carts.  I'd get an egg and cheese sandwich (this was before my lactose intolerance got bad)... lots of pepper and on a subway roll.  What were they?  Two bucks?  Best breakfast in town!

Here in Korea they have all manner of street food - some of it good, some of it bondaeggi.  But what I love are these little bread things that have spicy cinnamon and some kind of nut inside them.  Invariably, I burn my hand when some of the goo drips out, but ohhhhhhhhhhh so worth it!

I miss the stuff from back home.  Funny thing, when I go back, I usually don't get the stuff I miss... I just like knowing it's there.  [:)]
best,
sunshine

CEVICHE

::  DROOL  ::


I make a killer lobster ceviche. Conch, too, but I hate pounding those things.

Currywurst in Berlin. The giant soft pretzels in Munich. Stroopwaffels, like windchymes mentioned. Mint tea in Tangiers. Rose petal ice cream at the ruins of Mitla, Oaxaca. Guanabana snowcone on Vieques, Puerto Rico. Fish tacos in Puerto Vallarta.

Best ever were some chicken tamales with Mole Amarillo steamed in fresh (not dried) corn husks I bought out of a bucket from a little old Zapotec woman at the Mercado de Abastos in Oaxaca, Mexico. Just amazing. I could live on those.

Awww, I missed those. If I'm ever back in Berlin, I'll keep an eye out. One of my favorite cities. I obtained a copy of my granny's birth certificate from the Charlottenburg City Hall when I was there in 2003. It's an intense city. And the public transport system is killer. They still had streetcars in the eastern part of the cicy. My favorite restaurant is in Prenzlauer-Berg, run by an old queen who got to meet some of the big names when he was a waiter there before Die Wende.

Offenbach-Stuben: " Beschreibung
Zu DDR-Zeiten eines der wenigen privaten Restaurants und heute für seine exzellente Küche und gut gelaunten Service bekannt. Die Ausstattung stammt aus Oper- und Theaterfundus. Zu Operettenklängen speisten nicht nur die bekanntesten DDR-Künstler, sondern auch Bernstein, Gorbachev, Mitterrand und Weizsäcker. Die Gerichte sind nach den Kompositionen des Namenspatrons benannt ? also keine Angst vor Orpheus in der Unterwelt, das ist nur eine Kohlroulade.

Was the end of the season for Pfifferlingen (Chanterelles), so I of course had to have those. There was a street-cart at the end of the Marienplatz in Munich that was selling them too, at that time. 5 Euros for 500gm. Gawd, I was in heaven!

I am really starting to go on and on in my dotage. Nostalgia...



DesFIP -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 5:29:38 AM)

Ceviche de camarones with freshly made plantain chips.
Empanadas de platano verde with cheese and scallion filling or a ground beef filling.

We used to get ten pound boxes of frozen shrimp and made endless amounts of ceviche. I miss those boxes.

Yep, true Dutchman. Always making fun of the outsiders' accents. Ya know, dude, your English isn't exactly flawless, either. But it's cute.


Dear lady, this Dude, wasn't offending you. ;)

I think you get a coffee easier in Amsterdam with English then ordering in dutch, so you win the end.

the fish thingies?
They are called Kibbeling. They can be awful when they are made in old backing fat.
They should be close, taste wise, to fish fingers..lol

I love getting food on the street - everywhere I've been has had its own special delicacy.  In Rome I discovered roasted chestnuts, Philadelphia has the best pretzels with this crazy mustard for like 35 cents (it's probably 50 now!).  In Peru I used to buy prickly pears on a hot summer day.  In New York of course hot dogs, and here in Korea they have these little fish shaped breads that have red bean paste in them.

Anybody else love street food?



No, I love real food.



GreedyTop -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 6:15:43 AM)

ok, NS, the obnoxious bit has worn quite thin.. could you please try another persona?



NocturnalStalker -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 6:38:19 AM)

Il'l cuddle and kiss the mods instead?  Would that help my chances?



GreedyTop -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 6:52:43 AM)

I cant speak for the Mods.



FelineFae -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 7:08:11 AM)

Korea had venders that would sell chicken-on-a-stick outside of the bars,
It was worth walking to the 'ville just for those.[:)]



sunshinemiss -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 7:27:38 AM)

Fae - ah yes... they do.  I actually don't eat them because I'm nervous about food poisoning.  I got a badddddddddd case of it in Peru after eating anticucho ... I rarely eat meat from vendors abroad - but bready things?  You betcha!



flcouple2009 -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 7:28:31 AM)

When  I lived in the Orlando area in the 90's there was an old black gentleman who had a  mobile bbq shack.  He used to set it up on the weekends on the trail.  I would drive all the way across Orlando to buy ribs from him. 



GreedyTop -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 7:43:02 AM)

dammit, Fl.. I keep having to hit youtube for George when I see your sig...



barelynangel -> RE: Street Food (6/12/2011 10:11:03 AM)

There is nothing like a good Chicago hotdog stand or my favorite --the old icecream trucks.  Remember those, before the ones that only sell packaged icecream now?  When that song started playing, the kids all started running.

My favorite was the dipped icecream cones.

In China Town they have tea eggs, I do not know what they call them, but they are eggs hard boiled in tea. Very yummy.
