STREET FOOD FACTS<br />
The country with the most<br />
street food stands...<br />
10 million<br />
...with over 10 million is: India! But<br />
Thailand is also a front-runner. Bangkok<br />
alone is home to 300,000 street<br />
kitchens, making it the top city for<br />
street food.<br />
The most expensive street food...<br />
...is a taco. For USD 25,000, you<br />
can have one in Mexico. It contains<br />
Kobe beef, Beluga caviar,<br />
The world's most<br />
popular street food...<br />
langoustine, black truffle brie and<br />
gold leaf. In comparison, at just<br />
USD 2,700, the world's most expensive<br />
pizza is practically a bargain!<br />
...is roti canai, according to a<br />
TravelAtlas survey. Roti canai is<br />
300,000<br />
buttery flatbread from Malaysia that<br />
is eaten for breakfast with different<br />
curries.<br />
FROM PEASANT FOOD TO BEST-<br />
SELLER<br />
In the Middle Ages, street kitchens once again<br />
sold "peasant food". In Paris, pâté originated<br />
in the 14th century. It was made up of meat<br />
and vegetables that were wrapped in pastry,<br />
thus keeping them fresh for longer. Pâtés<br />
served as the basis for many well-known<br />
dishes today, such as English pies and pasties,<br />
empanadas, and many sweet pastries. But<br />
pâté is not the only success story that travelled<br />
around the world; fried fish is another<br />
excellent example. Jewish immigrants brought<br />
the practice of battering and frying fish to<br />
English. Because they were not allowed to<br />
cook on the Sabbath, they would dip their<br />
fish in batter and fry it on Fridays. This way,<br />
they could eat it cold on Saturdays. The first<br />
"chippy" opened in London in 1860. Unfortunately,<br />
today it is not entirely clear where the<br />
chips in "fish and chips" originated. Presumably<br />
they come from the French-speaking part<br />
of Belgium. American Soldiers brought them<br />
back home from the WWII and since people in<br />
Belgium spoke French they became known as<br />
French Fries.<br />
STREET FOOD IN SWITZERLAND<br />
What's the most common street food in Switzerland?<br />
Bratwurst (or cervelat) with or without<br />
mustard, what else! Of course, it wouldn't<br />
be autumn in Switzerland without roasted<br />
chestnuts, Magenbrot and other sweets. Nevertheless,<br />
sausage more than any other food<br />
has a special place in our hearts. Why is that?<br />
Sausage-making is the oldest form of meat<br />
preservation, and was therefore ideal for large<br />
outdoor fairs where there was no refrigeration.<br />
And we all love fairs! Therefore, it's no<br />
surprise that there are more than 400 types of<br />
sausage in Switzerland, and just as many sausage-related<br />
figures of speech.<br />
