Re your question, my street food for many years was street performing. Doing physical comedy shows in the middle of Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver. I used to grab the shopping bags of passing tourists, steal their fruit, juggle with it, and threaten to lick the ice cream cones of little kids to squeals of delighted protest. There's something so human about a market.

I read this article without realizing it was you, Alexandra. Therefore., I was able to be objective.

After reading the article, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I said to myself…..what a well-written article, so interesting and human. Then I realized it was you. You have come a long way, Baby.

Sadly we don't have "street food" in Australia - years of living in Asia however taught me it's the only way to get to know your district. Oh and the tourism ad campaigns for Canada? They must have relocated them to Australia cos I am pretty sure they sell you all on Kangaroos and Koala bears where our food scene is world class too. Don't get me started on our wine, South Australian beaches and our cricket team ( aaaagh)

Ooooo this is a hard question. India has so many kinds of street food. Gosh, where to start?!

I must say, I do love these fried mussels you get in some of the coastal cities...
