Street Food in YN?

Postby Hatterleigh » Sat Jul 06, 2019 12:01 pm

Street Food is defined as 'prepared or cooked food sold by vendors in a street or other public location for immediate consumption.'. Most countries have them, although in some areas they are more common than others. Does your nation have street food? To what extent? What are some traditional street foods found in the cities of YN? What reputation might does YN street food have with Tourists?

Hatterleigh does have plenty of street food in the plazas and streets. While street food that comes from foreign cultures, nations, likely brought from expats and immigrants can be found, Hatterlese street food exists as well. Hot dogs with Hatterlese sausage, Sandwiches, Meat Pies, Pastries, Sandwiches, Pretzels, are all examples of traditional street food found in Hatterleigh, while there are other kinds of food that are also sold as street food like sweet dough, which can be found on beaches, accompanied by ice cream, which ironically it was created to substitute for during dairy shortages. Street food comes from stands, vendors, food trucks, stuff like that. Street food is very common in large cities in Hatterleigh, and tourists generally recommend it. Citygoers of Hatterleigh often eat street food, but not to the extent seen in some countries.


So tell me about street food in your country, I feel like it is much more vital to some countries than to others and every nation seems to have a unique style when it comes to this sorts of stuff.

Common street food in the Slavic SR's (primarily Ukraine, Belarus, and Russian SFR) are shashliks (also known as kebabs), blins (a form of pancake), jam (usually served on the side), 'butterbrod' (quite literally bread with butter, sometimes with sausage and/or mayonnaise) and even some more 'western' foods, such as hot dogs, corn dogs, or hamburgers. Common Slavic beverages seen on the streets include vodka, mead, kvass, and other forms of alcohol-based drinks.

In the central Asian and Azerbaijani SR's, commons street foods include Persian meals, kebabs, and traditional Muslim and/or Central Asian beverages and other foods. (i know more about the former European USSR than the former Asian USSR, i'm sorry :()

Not many tourists eat street food, but some do. Street food is either served from carts or street vendors serving a specific type of food (usually butterbrod or kebabs).

Lax sales laws allow anyone to sell food on the streets without legal molestation. Most street vendors sell "street meats". Vermin, or other sources of cheap protein and fat, are caught, cleaned, processed and modified to taste like chicken or beef. They will put anything on burgers too, anything you want.

Street food is legal in Valloire. Much like restaurants, street food vendors are governed at the municipal level. Though food quality must meet national standards, municipalities are responsible for licensing, safety inspections, and so forth.

Typical street food may include hot dogs, form dogs, popcorn, ice cream, and churros in tourist-heavy areas. Some traditional Valloire cuisine is also generally available through many street vendors, such as crepes, coffee, sandwiches, bagels, and pastries. Poutine, kebabs, falafels, ramen, and dim sum are appearing and gaining popularity.

Street food is common in the Democratic Republic. As with restaurants, governing and regulation of street food vendors is predominantly delegated to local authorities, although the minimum health and safety standards which all food vendors must meet is set by the national government.

In the Democratic Republic, one can find a wide variety of street foods being hawked by local vendors. Explore one of our cities and you will find a place to buy hot dogs, takoyaki, crêpes, pizza by the slice, tacos, ice cream, and many others. Of course, there are local varieties unique to Gandoor as well; most notably fish dogs, which are effectively hot dogs but made with fish and served with tartar sauce and pickles, and kiensanat, which are fried Gandoorese red-horned beetles encased in syrup from the Gandoorese burnt tree. As you would expect, kiensanat usually grosses out the non-adventurous in their dietary palate, although they taste quite good. Rather crunchy and have a bit of a sweet and tart taste to them.

Amazonian street food mainly consists of a lot of Beef, Boar and Chicken. You can either find them Grilled and served on skewers or cut into strips and stuffed into a pita with a variety of things (sometimes including chips), however, 2 ingredients that will always be in them are red peppers and tzatziki. If you go to coastal or one of the small islands you may also see Grilled fish or Calamari being sold as well.

Bozi street food is so obvious, it's almost boring. It's just... typical carny fare.
Corn dogs, hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, snowcones, not to mention a ridiculous number of variations on the same base concept of "fried food". It's just stuff you can get at your typical circus or carnival.
She/Her

People tend to assume that Entrance of the Gladiators by Julius Fučík is what that ever so famous circus clown theme is. And it is. Nobody would ever argue with you on this fact.
However, if you want to be an unlikable, pedantic jerk, the song actually known as "circus music" would be a version composed for American woodwind bands (and later transcribed for fairground organs) titled Thunder and Blazes, published by Louis-Philippe Laurendeau.
Of course, this information is of absolutely no consequence to anyone.

They are pretty common throughout Suhurbia, and is where you typically find the most natural, most organic meals, as opposed to restaurants where nearly everything is farm raised.

In Ghost Land, selling food on the street falls under the umbrella of "private enterprise" and is as such strictly illegal. Offenders may be executed on the spot if caught.

In 60s Music, however, the rules are exceedingly lax, and one will often find a diverse sampling of world cuisine along the streets of any medium or large city, including, but far from limited to, the national dish, pizza.

In the Zhitelstvo, street food is eaten extensively, especially in large towns and cities in the West of the country.

Common street foods include, chebureki, a kind of crescent-shaped pasty filled with meat and onions; pierogi and pelmeni - dumplings with sweet or savoury fillings; pirozhki - buns usually filled with cheese, meat, or fruit; and blini - wheat pancakes.

Street food is extremely common in any major Radiatian city, although the amount of regulation involved depends entirely on the local authority.

For the most part one's opinion of Radiatian street food will depend a lot on one's opinion of Radiatian cuisine in general - do you like cheap, mass produced, highly processed genetically modified foods with no natural ingredients, or not?

The most common types of food found on Radiatian streets are (in)famous Radiatian sausages, hotdogs, burgers, deep-fried mystery meat and quite commonly foreign foods like curries, noodles and Nui-tan chu'din (a doughy dish except made Radiatian style so therefore mass produced and flavourless and without any type of health benefit).

Street food is common in Zhouran with vendors being quite common in public spaces across various towns and cities as well as during outdoor events such as festivals. While Zhouranese people mainly prefer to dine inside restaurants or diners for lunch and dinner, street food is commonly consumed as outdoor ready-to-eat meals. Street food vendors in Zhouran will always have tables and chairs provided since eating while walking is considered rude and disrespectful in Zhouranese culture. Street food vendors strongly abide to strict national health & safety regulations while anti-littering measures is enforced through measures such as having chairs and tables available, using disposable food containers and utensils, and setting out garbage bins.

Street food is allowed anywhere on the streets of Lightia. Common street food include traditional burgers, French fries, chips. Sometimes with a can of soda. They sell the food Lightians rarely eat, due to technology that teleports food in peoples mouths as gas immediately after thinking about it.

Street foods are not only legal in Vysnia, they're central to the culture. Most people will go to a market stall to eat rather than sit down and wait in a restaurant.

One of the most popular street foods in Vysnia are chicharrones, fried pork skin. They were popularized by Spanish settlers and it's a common sight to see chicharron stalls in the city of Rocablanca.

Another popular street food comes from the town of Ciutau. Maisdel, literally 'thin corn', are thin crepes made from ground corn. They're ususally served with lime and are really popular with crayfish.

Finally there's Estovola. A stew coming from the fishing town of Ciuvola, it's filled with hearty vegetables and fresh caught fish from the ocean. You can also order a cold version of it.

Street food vendors are legal, but must first pass food safety regulations. Once they pass, they must get a permit from their nearest local authority, and may only sell in designated zones. It is not uncommon for vendors to break the law by selling food outside these zones, but they are, at worst, fined a small amount of money (if punished at all), though food safety regulations are strictly enforced, especially for these 'illegal sellers'.

Street food in municipalities such as Shanghai and Nanjing often consist of dumplings and Xiaolongbao, among other almost restaurant-style dishes. They can be eaten as quick meals and are cheaper than fast foods:

In rural areas and lower class areas, street food is usually eaten as a snack, and are a common tourist attraction:

everybody loves a good noodle.
hot udon bowls sold from pushcarts,
the most common toppings being mushrooms, eggplant and tofu,

but many alternatives are offered,
every vendor has their own specialty.

at the other end of the thermal spectrum,
iced tuna noodle, usually salidette macaroni.

also fresh cold raw meat in other forms,
with cooked and cooled pasta in endless shapes and forms.

steamed meat buns.

a hot beverage called lubintau elixer is also common fare,
sold and consumed just about everywhere,

its what tea and coffee is in other cultures.
almost as popular as lightly flavored waters,
more popular then anything carbonated or mind altering.

in other nations and cultures, bread, rice, potatoes,
but in nolo gap, its the noodle (which in nolo gap and cameroi,
noodle is generic for pasta of all kinds, forms, shapes, and origen)

so we don't have sushimi as such, but instead,
we have something very like it,
but with noodles instead of rice.

there's really a huge veriety of variations,
but the most common base, is the 'noodle'.
