Interesting subject as the Interstate Fair starts here Friday as does the Mullet festival.

At the fair? Probably the large Polish sausage on a hotdog bun with sauteed onions and bell peppers.
At a ballgame? Probably a hotdog, corndog, or Po-Boy
From a street vendor? Depends on where:
-Here? Hotdogs or maybe chili-cheese fries
-Texas? Fajitas
-The UK? Can anything really beat fish & chips?

Being a huge fan of street food and having tasted loads admittedly England , Spain and Greece only my favourite is always a Tagine. One of the finest I've ever had was St Nicholas food market in Bristol. However, when I used to trade I did noodles with fish chicken beef with different veg and 8 different sauces to choose from cooked fresh to order. Great fun and financially very profitable but just too physically demanding in the end.

What do you call those little fried balls of chickpea batter ? Those with cheese or a sour cream type sauce :)

Cheugh roll and chips and cheese with mayo.

Big slice of garlic bread covered in cheese sauce and roasted.

(can you tell I really miss gluten and dairy? :sigh:)

I like the stalls with the dried but chewy strawberries, apples, pears, cherries, etc.,

cheers,
Toddy

Pancake street sellers in Paris, crepe suzette, with a liquer like grand mariner, or christmas times in city/town centres in the uk, a small brown paper bag of shelled, and skinned roasted chestnuts.

A good pork pie and peas on bonfire night, or standing outside in the cold at a football/rugby match, with a bit of malt vinegar and mint.

[And I mean a good pork pie, none of that supermarket/24hour garage crap, with grey 'seasoned' meat. I dont want to say melton mowbray, but they've brought it on themselves. It has to be Good pink meat, with a nice glazed crust from a proper butchers]

What?! No mention of the good old pastie! A good Cornish pastie (or any decent meat-based pastie actually - the person who invented the cheese and onion pastie should be hung drawn and quartered, and don't get me started on corned beef pasties :yuck:. I said good meat) would be my choice every time.

Ah! Corned beef; now you've reminded me of a proper Reuben. But a proper one mind you with real corned beef, not tinned.

Po-Boy's look interesting.

Pie, mash and liquor.

But how available is it now? I've not spent blocks of time in London since the 90's but it was not that popular in terms of outlets back then, same as jellied ells.

Talk of Paris how about the humble Croque Monsieur?

You've very clearly not eaten a good corned beef pastie, done well they are superb.

I don't eat much street food but I struggle to leave a Venison burger in the stand.

I would also have trouble walking past a large filled Croissant with ham and cheese in it
