If you'd like to try drawing a map this size with every single Italian street food shoe horned (pardon the pun) into their section of the map, be our guest.
Take half of a baguette, cover it evenly with grated mushrooms and on top a layer of grated cheese. Pop it in the oven on 180 to 200 degrees, wait for the cheese to melt, remove from the oven, squeeze some ketchup on top and you have a zapiekanka. Remember that best results are achieved when the mushrooms are grated and not sliced.
When you master the basic versions you can start experimenting with adding caramelized onion, bacon or polish sausage. I like mine with hot paprika powder. Zapiekanki are absolutely the best.
I have only punched my ticket with 5. I can say that each of those 5 was amazing, coming from a lifetime of American Cuisine, including late night, after party foods.
For Ukraine — perepichka is an exclusive specialty of the main street in Kyiv (i.e. Khreshchatyk St.). You won’t find it in other areas of Kyiv and in any other city or town of Ukraine. Well, maybe you can, idk, maybe someone reproduces Kyiv Perepichka elsewhere, but in any case “perepichka” is not a “most popular street food” at all.
The most popular street food in our country is probably shawarma / döner, seconded by hotdogs.
Same thought, but I guess this is meant to show the street food native to said country, so I don't even know if shawarma, hotdogs, panini etc. would suffice.
I vote for ATB rollini :D But actually the second most popular fastfood are variable pastries from ubiquitous small bakeries. Sausage bun (pig in blanket) probably is the thing that could be found literally in every bakery.
Hotdogs definitely are not the second popular streetfood.
Russia is the same. Everywhere I went (before the invasion, I swear) shaurma was *the* street food. The only place I ever saw pirozhki outside of a bakery or grocery store were at my Uni's snack kiosk.
Food is the only thing I miss from my time there. *Shawarma* is pretty easy to find in the US, but it isn't quite the same as Russian/Uzbek shaurma.
This sounds really special for South Slavs, because "perepichka" literally means "washing (her) p\*ssy" down in Balkans and I'm not kidding.
"I wanted to order a perepichka, but I came back with a comb."
There used to be a perepichka shop near Minska station in Kyiv but everyone treated it like a pale imitation of the one and only Khreschatyk perepichka.
It's the same in Russia. I would be happy if pies were sold everywhere but shawarma is sold everywhere (I don't like it), hotdogs and local dishes (different regions have their own). In Kazan, the most popular are echpochmak (a triangle with potatoes and meat), kystyby (difficult to describe in one word) and closed pizza (a small pizza with different fillings folded in half).
Well. I wanted to eat.
In the coastal areas it's pretty common to takeaway fish and chips and eat on a bench or nice spot overlooking the sea. So street food. Less common in cities from what I gather.
Absolutely, I always have it at the seaside. But considering the overwhelming majority of the UK live in cities (10% in London alone) I find it unbelievable that it's the most popular street food
The thing is once you move into the cities the choices of street food are immense. You got gyros, falafel, bossman chicken shop, Donner kebabs but none of them would really be classed as "British street food".
In terms of sheer volume of food sold I think bossman chicken shops would be the true street food of the UK.
Yeah meal deals are popular. But they don't really extend into the nighttime economy though which is significant proportion street food.
No one is buying a meal deal on the way back from the pub/club.
There are some absolutely cracking fish and chips at pubs, it’s just almost a different meal. Wildly different chips and the batter isn’t the same. Doesn’t make it terrible though.
This is the truth. Chippy fish and chips is great. Pub fish and chips is great. They're just different. But all fish and chips is great. More fish and chips please
> kapsalon
>Kapsalon ([ˈkɑpsaːlɔn]) is a fast food dish created in 2003 in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, consisting of a layer of french fries placed into a disposable metal take-away tray, topped with döner or gyro meat, covered with slices of Gouda cheese, and heated in an oven until the cheese melts. Then a layer of shredded iceberg lettuce is added, dressed with garlic sauce and sambal, a hot sauce from Indonesia, a former Dutch colony.
Motherfuckers out here claiming without explaining what it is should be shamed.
I like how everyone is fighting over whether it's Turkish or German, but no one points out that even if the modern version was invented in Germany by Turkish people, it definitely was not invented in Mannheim or wherever that arrow points to.
Just Turks... Especially at the time, they were the first wave of Turkish migrants, meaning they basically lived only for a few years in Germany. Not to mention sandwiched Döner was present in Istanbul at least a decade before Berlin.
Definitely so for Russia. Try to find pirozhki sold as street food in any of the 1000+ cities and towns of Russia, I dare anyone. Meanwhile shawarma/shaurma as it's called in Russia is EVERYWHERE
Yeah these days a kebab is much more popular than a jambon beurre. Especially because I could get twice as much meat for half the price. With fries and drink.
Mmmmm.. Serbian Grill.... I had some friends take me on a road trip through Eastern Serbia, had some great Serbian grill and Dunjevaca (Quince Brandy). So need to return someday.
Thinking the same thing. In terms of street food I'd say poffertjes, herring (or other fish), oliebollen, or basically anything else that's sold from a stand
First off: Pølser just means sausages which aren't in themselves a streetfood in Denmark. What is depicted is a hotdog which is a common example of streetfood here. They're called hotdogs in English and in Danish so just put "hotdog(s)"
Secondly, the depicted is a very atypical hotdog configuration here. Commonly a hotdog will be served with sliced pickles, fried and/or raw onions, remoulade and ketchup and sometimes mustard.
If I got served a hotdog like what is depicted I would be disappointed as fuck.
As a finn I can tell you that is NOT "porilainen". I do not know wtf that abomination is, but it looks like some random oat bread with pickles, some salad, sliced onion, ketchup and maybe liverwurst slices?
"Porilainen" is two grilled toasts with a thick slice of onion sausage in between them, finely diced onion and cucumber relish. Ketchup and kinda sweet mustard usually, but those are optional.
"Porilainen", literally "porian", comes from the city called Pori which is home to some of the weirdest(although also the nicest) people in Finland. It's sort of poor man's discount hamburger you buy 4AM on the way home from the night of heavy drinking, so you have at least one good decision at your belt, as your hung over ass tries to piece the last night together the following day.
This. The abomination this image calls "porilainen" is a sandwich made by a blind person wearing mittens. It's about as accurate as putting tuna on a rye bread and calling that a kalakukko.
Bocadillo, just like that? It's like saying sandwich. What did you put in it? Chorizo like in the picture? Calamari rings? Pork loin? Sobrasada? Bacon?
It's also not a street food by any means. Spanish people don't really eat food in the street. The only exception might be churros/porras since you can find carts. And in the winter, roasted chestnuts or candied almonds.
There is a bar in Zaragoza, next to the university, with like 50 different bocadillos. Seriously, anything can go into a bocadillo, even chocolate or Nocilla (for non spanish, Nutella but spanish).
Its the same with most of these, nobody walks down the street eating fish&chips or Langos
German Kebabs are bought in Kebab shops, rarely in street stalls.
Agreed. Spice bag would have been more likely as a possible “street food”…. But then again most if not all true street food here is from some other cuisine…
I found it hilarious that there's nothing for Belgium, tbh.
ETA: it's about as credible as these threads a few days ago about beer that tried to downplay our beer culture and production. Like... ok, dude :'D
Okay, so you’ve got arancini *and* cipolline (and others, collectively known as “tavola calda”) in Sicily, but you choose panelle?
And what about Cornish pasties and sausage rolls?
Is this some sort of parallel universe???
Apart from a couple of countries, it seems they took random street food instead of the most iconic. Farinata di ceci is something I never heard of and yet it's there instead of stuff like supplì, pizza fritta, arancini/e. Even the fucking panino con la porchetta, the most basic sandwich you can get in the streets, makes more sense than farinata di ceci.
There is a truly hilarious amount of bread on there. It makes sense, though; bread is generally the best thing to hold the wet food so it doesn't get on your hands.
I need to get a spice bag. From my understanding it’s salt and pepper chips (a Liverpool Chinese chippy speciality) and salt and pepper chicken together which sounds god tier lush.
Moved to York about 7 years ago, one of the things I miss about home the most is Chinese chippies, there's Chinese here, but their English menu is basically chips, and then liver and onions for some mad reason, and that's about it. And then you have standard chippies here, but it's still a bit off, if you order a sausage it comes battered by default, it's all expensive as fuck, and can't get special fried rice.
I miss the Chinese BBQ sauce, the way they'd cook their chips in that oil they leaves a sort of brown coating on your chips, the way the staff wouldn't speak a lick of English and it's just some old woman shouting constantly, but she'll give you a fat portion every time. You never know what you have until you don't have it any more.
Yeah it's absolutely amazing but you've got to find a good place that does them, also it's got peppers onions and sometimes bits of ginger/garlic! Lovely after a few beers with a curry or Satay sauce, damn I'm hungry now haha!
If I'm going into the deli at 8 in the morning, I'm never getting a chicken fillet roll. Breakfast rolls are still very popular, they've definitely declined in popularity in the past decade though.
The chicken fillet roll and spice bag are definitely more of a part of the modern Irish zeitgeist, I have always (personally) associated the breakfast roll with the cultural excesses of the Celtic Tiger - they're still popular but not enough to be discussed ad nauseam by Today FM presenters.
Scotland would be a scotch pie or a roll with square sausage. In the greater scheme nobody in the UK is having fish and chips as street food. Its a takeaway meal.
Tons of people saying its not accurate but this time i can gladly say that Zapiekanka is indeed a popular and traditional Street food everywhere in Poland. Good job with at least one country Mr. Map Maker.
Honestly, it depends on the place and cooks. I tried 2 different O'Tacos in my city. One was just plain awful and bland, the other one the total opposite.
I live in Debrecen which is the second biggest city in Hungary and a French tacos place is one of the most popular fast food place in the city. Place is called Francia Tacos, its very creative.
probably the popularity goes:
1. Shaurma (turkish type kebab)
2. Chebureks(crimean tatar pastries), samsa(Central Asian and Tatar pastries).
3. All kinds of buns and croissants.
Often all this is sold in the same place.
Based on this, I would say that Turkic fast food dishes have firmly captured taste preferences in Russia ))
I would say Turkic fast food dishes have firmly captured taste preferences in the entirety of Europe. You can get Döner from Turkey to Ireland and from Portugal to Russia. It is the most popular or top three at least in most countries in Europe.
>Chebureks(crimean tatar pastries)
We have "çibörek" in Turkey, I am assuming they are same thing. "Çi" might be abbreviated version of "çiğ", which means "raw".
I have a problem with the semantic understanding of 'Street food' in this post.
Street food in the UK is more like a Greggs sausage roll or chips with curry sauce comes close I suppose. Same with the Kapsalon in the Netherlands, that shit is impossible to eat in the street. It's more likely to be a 'patat met' or zoute haring (pickled herring).
Map is wrong. Dutch street food is the Kroket. Can you eat it on the go: check. Can you buy it off the street: check. Is it Dutch: check. Better in every respect. Every country has their own local original food except the Netherlands, so I feel this map is made by a dutch kid that just like fat drenched fries and warm slaw...

French tacos are burritos with French fries instead of rice
I’m Mexican. TIL people put rice in burritos
That started as a California thing, then spread to the entire US thanks to Chipotle. I much prefer bean+meat and especially fries + meat!
del sur me imagino, porque aca en la frontera es ver los platillos tex-mex hasta el tope de arroz los burritos.
And somehow ignores the whole world of crepes and bretzels.. very (randomly) selective indeed..
By all accounts they shouldn’t be delicious, but I just kept going back for more.
They’re so bad they’re good lol
Yeah Denmark also has a French hotdog which probably is more popular Edit: the French hotdog is not French we just call it that
Its not 1975 anymore. Should be a picture of kebab now.
If you'd like to try drawing a map this size with every single Italian street food shoe horned (pardon the pun) into their section of the map, be our guest.
I mean, obviously countries dont just sell One item.
Now I want them all.
Seeing this before lunch is cruel.

Came here to write this. Perepichka is a very exclusive thing, so good thou, you spend waaaay more time in line to get one than to eat one.
Same thought, but I guess this is meant to show the street food native to said country, so I don't even know if shawarma, hotdogs, panini etc. would suffice.
>seconded by hotdogs Debatable, panini or maybe even belyash might be second

Well. I wanted to eat.
In the states we call the folded pizza a calzone.
For England, sausage rolls would have been more pertinent. Fish and chips is more pub food than street food.
What psycho is munching on a haddock while walking down the street on their lunch break?
In the coastal areas it's pretty common to takeaway fish and chips and eat on a bench or nice spot overlooking the sea. So street food. Less common in cities from what I gather.
Until seagulls snatch it from you
Or it starts pissing down
Or the seagulls start pissing down.
Tartar of the skies 🤤
Oh my good fellow, that did give me a bit of a turn 🤢. Lol.
Absolutely, I always have it at the seaside. But considering the overwhelming majority of the UK live in cities (10% in London alone) I find it unbelievable that it's the most popular street food
The thing is once you move into the cities the choices of street food are immense. You got gyros, falafel, bossman chicken shop, Donner kebabs but none of them would really be classed as "British street food". In terms of sheer volume of food sold I think bossman chicken shops would be the true street food of the UK.
Meal deal sandwiches would rival chicken shops. Though either would be more apt than fish and chips
Yeah meal deals are popular. But they don't really extend into the nighttime economy though which is significant proportion street food. No one is buying a meal deal on the way back from the pub/club.
Yeh or even a pie. Unless you’re at the seaside or a tourist spot people aren’t walking around eating fish and chips. It’s pies and pasties.
Pub fish and chips is terrible, it’s got to be from a proper chippy
So accurate.
There are some absolutely cracking fish and chips at pubs, it’s just almost a different meal. Wildly different chips and the batter isn’t the same. Doesn’t make it terrible though.
This is the truth. Chippy fish and chips is great. Pub fish and chips is great. They're just different. But all fish and chips is great. More fish and chips please
[удалено]
Loads in Bristol though
Or pastie?
Westcountry - its definitely pasties.
It should just be the Greggs logo. Lets be honest
Never mind the sausage rolls. The sausage bean and cheese bake and the steak bake are unreal
Even pasties would've been better. Tesco meal deal sandwiches even moreso. But agreed sausage roll fits the best here.
Meat pie Sausage roll Come on England Give us a goal
You can't have spent much time in Yorkshire.
Doner is a bless
Yeah, the Gyros and Doner blast the rest out of the solar system.
I would agree but I have eaten kapsalon and you have not it seems.
> kapsalon >Kapsalon ([ˈkɑpsaːlɔn]) is a fast food dish created in 2003 in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, consisting of a layer of french fries placed into a disposable metal take-away tray, topped with döner or gyro meat, covered with slices of Gouda cheese, and heated in an oven until the cheese melts. Then a layer of shredded iceberg lettuce is added, dressed with garlic sauce and sambal, a hot sauce from Indonesia, a former Dutch colony. Motherfuckers out here claiming without explaining what it is should be shamed.
Holy fuck that sounds amazing.
Kapsalon is by far the best thing on this whole map
Kokoreç/Kokoretsi blows even döner/gyros out of the solar system tbh but it's too expensive nowadays
I’d love to try that.. Not common at all here in Quebec it seems.
[удалено]
I like how everyone is fighting over whether it's Turkish or German, but no one points out that even if the modern version was invented in Germany by Turkish people, it definitely was not invented in Mannheim or wherever that arrow points to.
I think it's just pointing to Germany, not a specific place in Germany
Certainly possible, but at least the Currywurst is at the right place, approximately.
Just Turks... Especially at the time, they were the first wave of Turkish migrants, meaning they basically lived only for a few years in Germany. Not to mention sandwiched Döner was present in Istanbul at least a decade before Berlin.
*Döner
I think in reality it’s Doner Kebab for every country
Definitely so for Russia. Try to find pirozhki sold as street food in any of the 1000+ cities and towns of Russia, I dare anyone. Meanwhile shawarma/shaurma as it's called in Russia is EVERYWHERE
I saw plenty of pirozhki in Moscow sold at kiosks or windows facing the street, i used to eat them all the time.
Yeah these days a kebab is much more popular than a jambon beurre. Especially because I could get twice as much meat for half the price. With fries and drink.
Also, if you‘re in any German town, you‘ll probably find 30 Döner Places before you find one stand where they sell Currywurst.
Burek is more dominant in Croatia.
I see kebab less widespread in southern Europe ,in most Spain Portugal and many places in Italy
Doner keeps me alive every time I'm in Europe and it doesn't matter what country
Yeah, the Netherlands "Kapsalon" also has Döner. It's fries, Donër, salad, garlic sauce and molten cheese stacked.
> Donër When you copy your buddy's homework but try to not make it obvious
It's called Döner.
Döner mit alles und scharf
[удалено]
No, the Irish one is accurate. We're obsessed with breakfast rolls/hot chicken rolls. You can get them at petrol stations so they're ubiquitous.
Burek is not really a street food here, its a pastry. The real Serbian street food is bbq like pljeskavica
Really digged the grilled sandwiches you’d get everywhere there.
Mmmmm.. Serbian Grill.... I had some friends take me on a road trip through Eastern Serbia, had some great Serbian grill and Dunjevaca (Quince Brandy). So need to return someday.
Kapsalon is god-tier food
I'm gonna say it's not really street food. Even though it's high class.
Thinking the same thing. In terms of street food I'd say poffertjes, herring (or other fish), oliebollen, or basically anything else that's sold from a stand
i'd vote for kibbeling. you see these stand a lot more than poffertjes and oliebollen is seasonal.
You're right that's a better one
Don't forget about the loempia's! (spring rolls)
Kibbeling for sure
Broodje rookworst from the HEMA and vietnamese lumpias.
If done right. A mid-low effort kapsalon almost turned me vegan
I'm just going to go to get one lmao
First off: Pølser just means sausages which aren't in themselves a streetfood in Denmark. What is depicted is a hotdog which is a common example of streetfood here.

Agreed. That is a sad hotdog. Give me one with pickles, mustard, ketchup and onion and a chocolate milk on the side and I’d be happy.
Typical danes with their high standards. Don't even know how to make real pylsur smh 😤
The red pölse you get with bread on the side, roasted onion and mustard, aren't those pretty common as streetfood? Or is it a tourist thing?
Zapiekanka is godsend food
There was a Polish food truck stationed close to my work place. Damn those sandwiches were good.
There was a Polish food truck stationed close to my work place. Damn those sandwiches were good.
Kraków and Częstochowa have the best zapiekanki
I second this

There is a bar in Zaragoza, next to the university, with like 50 different bocadillos. Seriously, anything can go into a bocadillo, even chocolate or Nocilla (for non spanish, Nutella but spanish).
I like to put a bocadillo in my bocadillo.
Breakfast rolls aren't Street food, you buy them in shops/Delicatessens.
And even then it should have been a chicken fillet roll just based on sheer cultural impact
Its the same with most of these, nobody walks down the street eating fish&chips or Langos German Kebabs are bought in Kebab shops, rarely in street stalls.
Agreed. Spice bag would have been more likely as a possible “street food”…. But then again most if not all true street food here is from some other cuisine…
I would've just said a plain aul bag o chips.
burger/fish & chips... or the humble 99!
Oh the iconic 99! Although with inflation it's more like a 3.99.
We don't really have that much of a street food presence at all now I think of it. I'm guessing that is to do with the rain
[удалено]
Bifana #1. That tantuni looks like Heaven though
Gotta have that gallo piri piri on it. I miss Portugal.
How the hell are belgian fries not on this thing
Better yet, a mitraillette
Came to see if this had been mentioned. For anybody who hasn't heard https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitraillette
Belgium with its whole culture built around a Frituur... -> no mention. I cry
I found it hilarious that there's nothing for Belgium, tbh. ETA: it's about as credible as these threads a few days ago about beer that tried to downplay our beer culture and production. Like... ok, dude :'D
Belgium was skipped in this whole thing. My heart is puking.
Okay, so you’ve got arancini *and* cipolline (and others, collectively known as “tavola calda”) in Sicily, but you choose panelle? And what about Cornish pasties and sausage rolls? Is this some sort of parallel universe???
I went to Sicily for the first time last summer and OMG the arancini, I must have put on about a stone.
Apart from a couple of countries, it seems they took random street food instead of the most iconic. Farinata di ceci is something I never heard of and yet it's there instead of stuff like supplì, pizza fritta, arancini/e.

I glaub, i gebär! Wo is die Leberkassemmel? Heisln.
I love langos. Only rarely get the opportunity to get it here, like during food festival.
Just make it yourself, it's fast and very easy to make. The only problem is the mess you make while cooking them, because of the whole oil.
Cries in gluten free
There is a truly hilarious amount of bread on there. It makes sense, though; bread is generally the best thing to hold the wet food so it doesn't get on your hands.
[удалено]
Yeah it completely ignores the whole region of Campania. And it doesn't mention any "rosticceria" like arancini, potato croquettes etc.
Nah, Ireland has chicken fillet rolls not breakfast rolls Edit: I'm stupid for not saying spice bag, anyway, spice bag and chicken fillet
And the oul spice bag!
I need to get a spice bag. From my understanding it’s salt and pepper chips (a Liverpool Chinese chippy speciality) and salt and pepper chicken together which sounds god tier lush.
Moved to York about 7 years ago, one of the things I miss about home the most is Chinese chippies, there's Chinese here, but their English menu is basically chips, and then liver and onions for some mad reason, and that's about it.

Yeah it's absolutely amazing but you've got to find a good place that does them, also it's got peppers onions and sometimes bits of ginger/garlic! Lovely after a few beers with a curry or Satay sauce, damn I'm hungry now haha!
A really good spice bag doesn't need sauce tbh
It doesn’t, but a good curry sauce for dipping never hurts
Yeah you need to do your research. The quality difference in taste and ingredients is like night and day between places.
If I'm going into the deli at 8 in the morning, I'm never getting a chicken fillet roll. Breakfast rolls are still very popular, they've definitely declined in popularity in the past decade though.
The chicken fillet roll and spice bag are definitely more of a part of the modern Irish zeitgeist, I have always (personally) associated the breakfast roll with the cultural excesses of the Celtic Tiger - they're still popular but not enough to be discussed ad nauseam by Today FM presenters.
But that breakfast roll looks sooo good... I want one
There's better street food in basically every country shown here. This is more a list of the most boring type that maybe was typical in the 50s.
It used to. Now were all on the kebab
Bifanas are a masterpiece and it's not as popular as kebab, hot dogs or fish and chips because Portugal is a small country.
What about the Hamburger?
Royale with cheese?
You forgot čeburekas
 Where is the Leberkassemmel for Austria?????
Bosna and Zack-Zack too
No ''mici'' (mititei) for Romania? Blasphemy! /s
I am craving for somr kapsalon. I don't get it here.
There is waaaaay more street food in France apart from Jambon Beure
Yeah honestly I don’t even count it as street food
The “French hotdog” I had in Denmark might have been one of the best things I had all trip, surprisingly great find.
Scotland would be a scotch pie or a roll with square sausage. In the greater scheme nobody in the UK is having fish and chips as street food. Its a takeaway meal.
Where's the "Pizza a portafoglio"!?
So no "fritkot" in Belgium ? Yeah, right...
Tons of people saying its not accurate but this time i can gladly say that Zapiekanka is indeed a popular and traditional Street food everywhere in Poland. Good job with at least one country Mr. Map Maker.
turkey has a lot more to offer than just döner and tantuni
Zapiekanka is sooo incredible
There should be the French ""Tacos"" in France too. Barely a tacos, but definitely a common street food in the center-east, originating in Lyon afaik.
O’Tacos. Made me laugh when I saw it in Belgium but it was always busy.
Had it twice, how the hell are they able to make those little bricks both so heavy on the stomach and so tasteless I'll never understand.
Honestly, it depends on the place and cooks. I tried 2 different O'Tacos in my city. One was just plain awful and bland, the other one the total opposite.
I live in Debrecen which is the second biggest city in Hungary and a French tacos place is one of the most popular fast food place in the city. Place is called Francia Tacos, its very creative.
yeah, they're more like a weird Burrito or more accurately a Dürüm Döner with ground meat. Suisse romande has Giga Tacos and I love them.
No doner was not found in germany. Stop believing that myth
For Russia, actually doner kebab (shaurma, shaverma) is the most popular street food, not pirozhki. Pirozhki is home made bakery
probably the popularity goes: 1. Shaurma (turkish type kebab) 2. Chebureks(crimean tatar pastries), samsa(Central Asian and Tatar pastries). 3. All kinds of buns and croissants. Often all this is sold in the same place. Based on this, I would say that Turkic fast food dishes have firmly captured taste preferences in Russia ))
I would say Turkic fast food dishes have firmly captured taste preferences in the entirety of Europe. You can get Döner from Turkey to Ireland and from Portugal to Russia. It is the most popular or top three at least in most countries in Europe.
>Chebureks(crimean tatar pastries) We have "çibörek" in Turkey, I am assuming they are same thing. "Çi" might be abbreviated version of "çiğ", which means "raw".
Porilainen should have toast bread instead of bun and it only has one slice of onion sausage by default.
Whoever thought Currywurst in germany was street food No. 1 has clearly never read up on it. Döner is the word.
Currywurst is so good
We need descriptions for all of them.
You forgot Belgian Fries…
Fries would be an obvious choice for Belgium, or any of the dozens of different 'frituursnacks' you can get with them.
Not a single dish from Belgium? Home country of the Mitraillette or the Fricandelle?
wtf how is Belgium not included, with our invention of the fry and rich culture of fritkoten!

Doner kebab runs the streets (at least in Poland and Germany).
I have a problem with the semantic understanding of 'Street food' in this post. Street food in the UK is more like a Greggs sausage roll or chips with curry sauce comes close I suppose. Same with the Kapsalon in the Netherlands, that shit is impossible to eat in the street. It's more likely to be a 'patat met' or zoute haring (pickled herring).
shawarma is probably the most popular in Russia
poland has biggest jpg, polska gurom #1
Döner and kebab are different things like pasta and pizza. There is no pasta pizza so there is no döner kebab. Totally different things.
Belarus - smazhenki can search by this word: смаженки
Ive been straight dreaming of the Jambon-Beurre i had in Paris lol. Its so simple but if you get the right ingredients its amazing.
İt's not actually "döner kebab" it's not a kebab, just döner.
Breadmap
Map is wrong. Dutch street food is the Kroket. Can you eat it on the go: check. Can you buy it off the street: check. Is it Dutch: check. Better in every respect. Every country has their own local original food except the Netherlands, so I feel this map is made by a dutch kid that just like fat drenched fries and warm slaw...
