Street food
is ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a
hawker or vendor, often from a portable
stall.
While some street foods are regional, many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are also classed as both
finger food
and
fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the
Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.
Today, people may purchase street food for a number of reasons including "ethnic taste, nostalgia, and the opportunity to eat quickly obtained, reasonably priced and flavorful food in a sociable setting."
Historically, in places such as ancient Rome, street food was purchased because urban poor did not have kitchens in their homes
