Do you ever buy and eat something from Food Street vendor

I have not done only this in my 50 years of life. I am not criticizing any one here or the street vendors. I was taught in my childhood that we should not eat outside food and especially which is prepared at the road side. From then onwards till now I hesitate to eat. By this my circle dislike me and say that I do not give them company - but I take care of my health and not the circle. Let them feel anything..... By the grace of God I keep a Good health till now.... This I am explaining according the city in which I live.There may be beautiful places where all the precautionary measures would be taken,,,,for health...

there is some sugar thing i don t know the word in english (it looks like cotton on a stick ) i always buy i just can t help it :) and if i m really hungry ... some baked stuff... dunno sweats maybe :) icecream. yeah i guess i do buy from street vendors :) but not cooked things.

Before I used to eat foods from street vendors but now I seldom do that because I realized that it may be not that clean at all...what I'm talking about is the preparation. Don't know if it's prepared in a clean procedure or not.

Here in the Philippines there's a lot of street food in every corner. When I was young I used to eat them. but now I seldom do cause now I know the diseases I can get from eating them. But then every time I go to VietNam I still do eat street food there just to get the experience to eat their street food! Luckily, my stomach is also strong it does not get upset ever since..

Well, i do eat from outside street vendor, but i dont do that often, its very rare. This happens at situations am so hungry, no one at one or am lazy to cook. I always know its not an hygenic and healthy one and not good for stomach. But one thing i noted is its always tasty..lol. We have something called panipuri, a sweet dish!

Yes i do i love to buy of food street vendor,we have a lot in every street in Indonesia but i stay in Japan now and i don`t see it much here:( i miss it some time i have strong stomach too since i used to eat street food :)so i am not worry of being sick for food that i like...is famous thing is fried chicken and boiled corn also sweet potato and a lot other food:) i miss all kind food ah better to go home at my country for a moment:)

This isn't something that is readily available in our city, so it is something that we are able to enjoy a few times a year. Fourth of July, parades or events downtown and the carnivals are the only times that we are able to have foods like this. I wouldn't say that there is really anything that is particularly popular in our area, but I can never pass up a funnel cake. I absolutely love those fried cakes.

we also a lot of those street food here in my country and they are cheaper of course thats why theres also a lot of people buy it specially students. i used to buy banana que and kikiam or bbque, they also offered a buy one take one hotdog and corn outside, a lot of variety to choose from. they are actually clean coz they tried to cover it with something though i know street food is not really safe food but i dont bother besides i never felt anything even though i was doing it long time ago and medical exam are all ok.

Hi Ibuemma, Yes, i grew up in a community where street foods is a normal scene. the food is cheap and you will be encouraged to buy it. the smell is so iniviting. i love eating fishballs and squid balls. But when i had an allergy from it i stopped buiyng street foods. There's a lot of street foods but i promised myself not to buy anymore from them. If i want to eat fish and squid balls i buy it from the grocery store and cook it myself.

homeshoppers missed something and it s the most famous one. it s called Balot. i like eating Balot cuz it tastes good and it gives you energy. i like eating these after work when i feel exhausted.

I agree with what you said about street food. They're really risky to eat but they can be fun and efficient to eat at times. Me and my friends usually grab street food when we're too lazy to get dressed and dine in a good restaurant. Since most of my friends are tired of fast foods we opt to grab street foods instead. If you're already bothered by the street food in new york, you should try what we have here in the Philippines. Get ready friend, your tummy might not be able to handle it! One of the most popular street foods we have is fish/squid/chicken balls. They're deep fried processed meat that you get on sticks and eat with sweet and sour sauce or spicy vinegar with chopped onions. Those aren't so bad. We have this street food called "isaw," it's my personal favorite but I found it really disgusting before. It's barbecued chicken or pig intestines. We also have "balot" or chick/duck egg. It's similar to hard boiled eggs, only that it has a chick inside the egg instead of a hard-boiled yolk. You eat it the similar way you eat hard boiled eggs. And we have "betamax," made out of boiled pig blood which turns into jelly like form. I haven't tried that and have no plans to even lay my fingers on them. Well that's about it, I might scare you off already lol.

I do buy food from street vendors now more than I used to. I buy churros a lot now, but when I lived in England there was a place I used to buy the most delicious bagels from. They were stufffed with things like cream cheese and smoked salmon or tuna mayo with olives.

Depends on what is available outside and whether the evironment is lcean or not. Most of the places in india, are not very hygienic. Thats the reason why i tend to avoid eating stuff from street vendors. Then also, as you mentiones, if u have a "Strong" stomach, then you can digest anything you eat. as for me, i dont think i come under that strong stomach category. Hence avoid street vendors food places beacuse i find it hard to actually analyse whether they use good quality ingredients or not... Cos my health is at risk!!

Yes I do but seldom since I cant find lots here in Japan. Sometimes I even find the food more delicious than what I eat on a classy restaurants. I love the casual ambiance while eating the food I buy on the sidewalks. But knowing the risk it might cause, I do it very seldom. I miss hopping the sidewalks too bad Im quite busy these days to have a sidewalk food trip.

I often buy and eat food from street vendors. I don't know why I don't really care how clean it is or its nutritional value, sometimes it's just so addicting. The street foods that are famous in our area are hotdogs, barbeque, and squidballs.

Street foods are really part of our life. I love some of them like the fish balls and empanada. I do not mind about hygiene because our city is looking into that, there are inspectors even if it's called "street foods". Gone are the days when they say that dirty ice cream is literally dirty. I don't know about the other cities but my city is looking into hygiene. I think what's nice about street foods is when you're on the go, you can just grab a burger around the corner and dig into some coins inside your pocket. Yeah, it's convenient. Moreso when it is a fad (as most street foods are fad), you'll feel that you're no different from that executive waiting for his turn next to that food stand.

I've actually only eaten food from a street vendor once! When my brother and I were visiting Washington DC we got pizza from one, but it wasn't really anything special, we just had to eat. :)

Yes, I sometimes buy from street vendors. Most of the time, I buy barbeque.

i buy street foods but i have limitation.i love the barbecue. i observe first if the surroundings are clean and of course the food need to be clean. If you eat uncleaned food you will experience tummy ache.

here in the philippines, there are a lot of street food vendor and honestly they are way cheaper so many people buy their product. for me, sometimes i do bought some street food when i really like the food like fish balls and peanuts. before i will buy i would first observe the vendor because he/she is not hygienic. there are really a lot of popular street foods here. i was say people sell on the street what they think people would like to eat.besides, we filipinos love to eat.
