Street Food

I love street food!   Why? 

I love… 

...the creativity of the vendors, 

...the variety of foods they offer, 

...that so many of the vendors display their wares in tiny display cases in front of their homes or on the street,   

...the vehicles they use to move their food up and down the streets.   

And their apparent determination to make a living offering their wares.

1 & 2 -  I think this lady is my favourite street food vendor.  She sits/crouches near the church or beach.  Every day?!  She cuts up pineapple, mango, guaba, and apple and serves it in little bags with salt and hot chiles. Each little bag, which is about the size of a very big apple, costs 50 rupees, about 40 cents Canadian.

4- A bread bicycle!!!

5- One of the many fruit stands in Negombo.  This one is walking distance from Tom's house in Pitipana.

6-8  There are sometimes mini fairs on the beach, with a bunch of vendors.  This one sold deep fried prawns,  crab, casava chips, etc. Notice the creative presentations.  Skewers and ....bags made from recycled paper!!! This one looks like it was from a school notebook.  Love it!!!!

9- Toby buying ice cream from a tuk tuk.  Want the cone? No. Want the cone? No. Want the cone?  OK! I'll take a cone!

10- Cotton candy bicycle.  Crazy!
