Street Food Dishes Around the World

The dishes worth planning a trip around, shown the way they are sold from carts, stalls and griddles rather than plated in a restaurant. Each photo shows the food itself up close, and each caption says what to look for when you order it: how it is cooked, what goes on top and how locals eat it standing up. The test for a place here was simple: a dish that defines eating on the street in its home city and that a traveler can find there today. Markets and packaged snacks are left out, because this gallery is about what lands in your hand.
