    There’s a food truck in Victoria BC called The Melt Truck, has the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. It’s saved my life more than once. The last time I’ve had food from a truck was in Nanaimo BC, The Poutine Truck (I can’t remember the exact name, that’s what we call it), and it was amazing. They have a bunch of different ones, I think I got the cheeseburger one. They have vegan options for just about all the options too. So good!

    oh. I thought you meant food from less than licensed vendors so the only thing I ever got was street tamales. which are cheap and delicious.

    I had an Oliebol last weekend. It’s basically a ball of fried dough (with raisins in my case) covered in powdered sugar.

    They’re a Dutch seasonal thing, traditionally eaten on new year’s eve.

    I got a feeling that a lot of people are going to post things like, “Unless you’ve had the kentil jabroni on the streets of Naventus, then you’ve never had street food.”

    I’m not well traveled, so my favorite is this food truck that serves nachos, but with tater tots. Tatchoes, if you will. Fucking amazing. I like Taco Truck tacos, but they are always so tiny and expensive these days.

    Best is a hard tie between a burger from the Bleeker van in London, and pani puri (crunchy pockets filled with curry) from a handcart in Pokhara. Most recently was moo ping (grilled pork skewers) from a stall in Thakek. They weren’t very good which made me sad.

      The best falafel sandwich I had was in Hebron, they were making it very freshly and it just cost like 30 cents or so.

    There’s simply none near here, so maybe like, twenty years ago when I visited nyc. I liked roasted chestnuts, those were nice.

    Do hotdogs at baseball games count? Then maybe a decade ago instead.
