DIFFERENT STREET FOODS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRY

We LOVE street food and we know you guys do too or I can say food is life. Eating street food is a not only a great way to eat well on a backpacker’s budget, it also gives you the opportunity to chat to locals and find out more about the dishes and traditions behind them.There are so many different street foods out there, in every country, region and city so I'm going to introduce some foods with different taste in every country.

1. Czech Republic
   Chimney Cake - Trdelník aka “chimney cake” is both a novelty photo opp and a sweet treat all rolled into one! These spiral-shaped donuts are made by wrapping the batter around a large spit, which is then cooked over a grill, rolled in sugar and served with lashings of Nutella.
   

2. India
   Masala Dosa - The humble masala dosa is indigenous to the Southern states of India and usually comes served with sambar and chutney. It’s cheap, quick and high in carbohydrates. Perfect for hungry adventurers on the go.

3. Canada
   Poutine - Poutine is a lavishly indulgent treat, originating in Quebec and made up of fries, cheese curds and gravy. It might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of street foods from around the world, but it’s not to be missed. The word “poutine” is Québécois slang for a “mess” but there’s no need to worry about how it looks when it tastes this good.

4. Germany
   Currywurst- When you first touch down in Germany you need to make a beeline for this traditional dish, which is essentially a ketchup/curry sauce hybrid with chopped pork sausage and fries. Supremely tasty and ever so cheap.

5. Portugal
   Pastel de Nata- his is Portugal’s answer to the custard tart and the main ingredients are sugar, egg yolks and butter. But because they’re not huge, it’s probably fine for you to have 3 in one sitting.

6. Jamaica
   Jerk Chicken - A smoky staple of the Jamaican street food scene, this iconic dish is traditionally served from jerk ‘huts’ with a side of fiery rice and peas. The name ‘jerk’ comes from the jerking or poking of the meat with a sharp object to get the most out of the flavour.

7. Philippines
   Halo Halo and Balot - Definitely one of the most instagram-able street foods from around the world. Translated into English as “mix mix”, the ingredients are up for debate but usually consist of shaved ice, fresh fruit, ice cream, a jelly-like object, a crunchy substance similar to Rice Krispies, and evaporated milk. Balut is a developing bird embryo (usually a duck) that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It originated from and is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines.
   

8. Thailand
   Pad Thai - this is one street food dish you must not miss when you visit Thailand.

   Churros - One of the naughtiest but also one of the tastiest street foods from around the world, churros are a MUST for hungry backpackers travelling through Spain.

10. China
    Bao (or Baozi) buns - Bow down to the simple bun, or “little eats” as they are sometimes called. The baozi bun is filled with savoury fillings, such as vegetables or meat, and then steamed into the perfect combination of soft and sweet.

11. Japan
    Dango - DANG-O these little Japanese dumplings taste good! Served on skewers and cooked over an open fire, the dumplings are made of rice flour and served with everything from sweet chestnut paste to sesame seeds.

14. Turkey
    Baklava - Made from many layers of pastry, oozing with syrup and pistachios and often crafted from a carefully guarded family recipe, Baklava is one epic sugar rush you MUST experience when you visit Turkey.

15. Colombia
    Arepas - This famous Colombian staple can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner – making them one of the most versatile street food dishes out there. Arepas consist of a ground maize dough and are served with a range of accompaniments, including plantain, avocado, cheese and tomatoes.

16. Taiwan
    Bubble tea - Originating in Taiwan, bubble tea or boba tea consists of creamy tea and chewy black tapioca balls. Exotic versions include custard pudding, grass jelly and honeydew.

17. Korea
    Kimbap - Kimbap is South Korea’s beloved take on Sushi. Packed onto street carts, kimbap begins with a sheet of seaweed that’s filled with rice, a few pickled veggies and a slice of egg and then glazed in oil and sesame seeds.
