🌯 Street Food
Street food refers broadly to prepared food sold for immediate eating in markets, stalls, kiosks, food carts, small shops, and other casual settings. The category is global, so the foods can be very different from one another. Some are wrapped in bread or tortillas, some are fried, some are grilled on skewers, and others are dumplings, pancakes, filled pastries, or bowls. A food can also belong to more than one vocabulary category: Bánh Mì is both a sandwich and street food, while Tamale can be taught with dumpling-like foods as well as Latin American street foods.
