What do you think of street food, /ck/?
Like? Hate?
Is it the best way to meet a country's cuisine or is it a meme?

Eaten a lot of Chinese and Thai street food, and it was mostly damn good.
Only got ill once in Thailand when I ordered something with a runny egg at 4am.
Had a variety of barbecued street foods in Cebu, Philippines. The one I loves the most was their grilled pork
I also tried alot of street food in Malacca, Malaysia and had a bunch of noodle soups that tasted great
>Hate?
I didn't dislike anything, but I couldn't eat anything with boiled eggs as I don't like egg yolks in general

It's not the best way to meet a cuisine. I suggest you visit a well known restaurant that serves authentic food

when i went to vietnam with a friend that was born there i found that there's some foods that are best from a streetfood place, but if you want to try as much of the cuisine as possible, you'll just have to do your research and visit good restaurants too.

Only inasmuch as a country has a street food culture - Italy for instance might only offer, what, slices of pizza, calzone, maybe arancini, but you'd be missing out on the experience of a sit-down full course meal, which is where Italian cuisine really shines.
Personally, I'm still a fan of good (read: nontouristy hipster gimmick) street food, there's something very calming about the relative anonymity. I'm a spaz and if I fuck up, I'd rather know I can just pay, take my food, and walk off, than feel I have to sit in the room for another two hours.
Good bread, op
