Street Food: an event I was homesick for

Every year the street food event falls in my city, whose location is a large square near the port, a short distance from the sea. The square is defined as red earth because in the past, bauxite, a red mineral that colored the earth, was loaded onto ships here. Street food is very popular all over the world because food is culture and through it we can travel all over the world without traveling any distance.

Among the various stands, I particularly liked the Argentine cuisine, obviously the quality of the meat is renowned all over the world and I love their modified barbecue: a central brazier with charcoal and burning fire slowly cooks the meat on the large skewers placed around it. A truly inviting perfume spread throughout the square and attracted many people to admire this original fire.

It is possible to order a mix of grilled meat with side dish and drink at a cost of 17 euros, sit on the wooden benches and enjoy your dinner just a few steps from the sea! But not just meat! In fact, there is a stand that offers customers gourmet fish sandwiches such as salmon, tuna, swordfish, prepared with special sauces such as shrimp or lime, to which are added other truly exceptional ingredients and spices such as turmeric, confetti and many other. The average cost of a sandwich is around 10 euros.

The Sicilian stand, southern region of Italy, offers a series of unique culinary products such as arancini, rice balls stuffed with meat, peas, sauce, breaded and fried. Very high calorific value but guaranteed goodness. Or the classic Sicilian dessert, cannoli stuffed with fresh ricotta and candied fruit or chocolate! Food porn!

There are many other stands but above all there is joy and the desire to celebrate a return to normality after two heavy pandemic years, for which the event was promptly postponed. This edition is presented by a gigantic Ferris wheel, over 50 meters high, a few steps from the sea. It is therefore possible to admire the city from a dizzying height and also challenge the fears that many people have of height. Are you brave enough? Personally I would have loved to get on and ride the wheel, but my little son was obviously scared and we were forced to postpone the ride for the next few days.

I am really very enthusiastic about this event and we have to go back to visit some particular stands, such as Indian cuisine so rich in flavors, aromas and colors! Street food is the best way to be part of the big circle of life! I love it!
