Undoubtedly, street food, as a distinctive food culture that combines the ideas of fast and slow meals, has stolen the hearts of gourmets around the world. Why has this happened?
The “in-thing” food culture
What is street food? Among its most important features are the original taste of the food served and the handy form, combined with excellent taste. The quality of the products used is also undeniably important - customers are very conscious of what they are eating. Mobile restaurants offer dishes that are well-known and much-loved - updating their composition and appearance, adding a pinch of localness so as to arouse the curiosity of customers.
Street food from around the world
Street food is a food concept present in virtually every city in the world. Tastes are merging and specific dishes are becoming the flagships of individual regions and countries. The United States will always be associated with burgers, Belgium with delicious waffles, Mexico with delicious tacos and the United Kingdom with fish and chips.
Polish street food
Several years ago, street food was mainly associated with bars serving frozen French bread pizzas (Pol. zapiekanki) and poor-quality fries. Today, we can enjoy real cuisine rich in flavour. Burgers of all kinds are very popular. Recent trends have seen a shift towards Asian cuisine, with customers falling in love with Pad Thai or Japanese ramen.
Food truck is the basis
Street food is closely linked with a specific culture of being - it is not only about eating, but also about going out into the city in the company of friends and family. The vogue for street food has taken hold in our lives for good, as evidenced by their fondness for numerous events such as fairs and food truck rallies. Restaurants on wheels have many supporters mainly because of the authentic flavours and the unique atmosphere of eating 'straight from the trailer'. With its homemade rolls, distinctive spices or the addition of natural lemonades and juices, it is a streetfood culture that cannot be passed by indifferently.
