Street Food: Culinary Happiness Is On The Street

For some it’s the end of food culture, for others it’s just a new twist. It is undisputed that street food has firmly established itself in modern nutrition. Discover the culinary subculture of the street with us!

Easy to get hold of: street food

Almost a real meal, but only almost: That’s how critics gossip about fast food. Street food can be an answer to nutrient-poor fast food dishes such as fries, pizza or currywurst. Pleasure and health value are often not opposites here. The Asian wok dish Phad Thai is not only delicious, but also contributes to a balanced diet with ingredients such as vegetables and tofu. In general, Asian street food from China and other countries is impressive in this regard. The Vietnamese cuisine inspires with delicious soups, sandwiches, and spring rolls, the Korean with the sour fermented vegetable kimchi and the Japanese sushi has long been an established street food in this country.

Feast around the world: street food

Saté skewers Thai style, Turkish doner kebab, BBQ street food such as chicken wings and burritos or an original American street food burger promise meat enjoyment. Those who prefer hearty vegetarian street food can enjoy quesadillas, vegetable wraps, falafel with a typical street food sauce such as salsa or samosas, and stuffed dumplings from India. You can truly feast your way around the world! By the way, the best places for this are street food festivals and food truck markets: Here you can try culinary delicacies from all over the world in the smallest of spaces. A look at the calendar of events in the nearest major city provides information about food events in your region.

When it comes to street food, quality matters

In addition to the quick preparation, the quality of the ingredients is increasingly characteristic of many street food dishes. Aspects such as sustainability, animal welfare and regionality are very important to many consumers today – a trend that more and more snack bars are catering to. Meat snacks dripping with cheap frying fat are being replaced by high-quality pasture beef burgers, and the cabbage for the coleslaw side salad comes from the nearby cultivation area. From this point of view, you can enjoy street food with a clear conscience. And: Visiting a street food festival or enjoying homemade delicacies at home is great fun in good company with friends and family!
