Page "Street food" Paragraph 3

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 the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2. 5 billion people eat street food every day.
