Oh, yes of course!
How could I forget traditional made German Bratwurst with mustard in a small bread to hold it!
That's more a cold weather favourite.
Thüringer Rostbratwurst for example.

But if they offer a peace of grilled real meet I often choose this.

And along the German coastlines I eat Fischbrötchen in all variations.

Street food always tasted the very best in winter to me.
Food hotter than volcanic lava, get burnt trying to eat the skinny end,always worth it.

Melbourne had a deep fried thing called a Chikko Roll.
Like a total chicken stir-fry in a tight wrapper and deep fried.
I did not care what was in it, it tasted so good.

The best street food I've ever tasted was on day one of backpacking the isle of skye way. We had set off from the coastguard lookout both northern tip along the Trotternish ridge to where it drops down to the carpark part way up to the cold. We were there for breakfast/elevenses. What did we see but a burger van.

We took a look but nobody fancied anything until we saw the menu. Wild boar burgers are common enough but kudu burgers? That's what I got. My mate got zebra burger. I tried it and can say that zebra meat in a burger form is a meat that actually melts in your mouth! It really does and tastes amazing!

BTW I don't know which zoo got raided by that burger van but zebra wasn't quite the strangest meat cooked by them.

Personally I like more exotic street foods (back on topic because I wasn't around when started). There's a food hall in a mall in Manchester that has a thai or other se Asian region street food. My partner complains when she sees that because the UK doesn't have the range of street foods she's had where she's lived or visited in south America, China, Asia, Spain, etc. There's simply not many people with a very basic stall selling one type of food but doing it well!! Don't get her on repairs. South America really made her realise how western world doesn't have those little parts of town that specialise in a single type of product or repairs. She even knew an umbrella repairman!!

It's often a Asia and south America that do interesting street foods imho.

German Brötchen are little white breads in french Baguette stile but much shorter, we get them in every bakers shop and cut them at home in two halves like a burger bread. At home we put butter and jam on the halves, cheese or slices of sausage, to carry them around we close them like a sandwitch or burger, usually cheese or sausage and butter inside.

That closed variation you can get along the German coast lines with conserved fish filets, Matjes or Bismarck Herring with slices of onions, or baked Fisch in a breaded version with white sauces in mayonnaise stile. That are the most usual Fischbrötchen.
But they exist with shrimps or salmon or other sorts of fish too. And often I got very unusual ones like conserved fish with onions and plum jam what I got in Flensburg in the first left hand side fish restaurant coming from the railway station entering the old town shopping area. That was incredible good. It's a reason to visit Flensburg, which is a nice middle sized town, by the way.

My partner spent a bit of time living West of Flensburg and she quite like fischbrotchen (my tablet doesn't do the symbols above letters easily sorry about that). She said it also came in round brotchen. Simple and good!

BTW not far from us is Glasson Dock. If you're ever there don't forget to drop into the smokehouse. Quality product from fish to bacon all smoked to perfection. I think they'll even post smoked fish to your home address or others as a gift. Kind of like the old Man's places used to. My mum in and gran used to talk about posting Manx kippers home from their holiday there.

Should somebody in Berlin offer Guinea pigs on the barbecue I would try them!

In my opinion that would be a great idea for London too and for Paris it's probably the best business idea one can imagine..

:biggrin:

I like the drive of the idea.

I wonder if we could make a typical Vermin species such as Rat or Grey Squirrel so tasty people would get a sincere taste for it?

I've heard the law has changed, … it is now legal to eat road kill …. no direction as to what to do with the bicycles yet !!
I'm getting mad max style additions to my van, I wonder what roadkill i can get with that? Accidentally of course. Might be able to get a bit of scrap value for the Renault clio I squish!!! But the four 20 year olds might fill the freezer up!

Ridiculous idea taking out road users of any kind even as a joke. Sorry, bad taste I reckon.

Grey squirrel already is tasty and people already have a genuine taste for it. BBQ is good but the preferred methods are:
1) Dredged in flour and fried then simmered covered in gravy
-and-
2) stewed together with rabbit and vegetables (succotash and tomatoes) This Is the traditional Brunswick Stew.
