Comment on after 40 all meals are horror
RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 months agoThe first statement sounded like I am always eating at road side stalls and never had a lunch at a restaurant. Not that I would bother going to a chain like that to begin with. I am obviously not a native speaker so maybe I misunderstood it.
I am not a fan of those road side stalls, I am not a germaphobe but at least my food should be made in a clean Kitchen. Maybe because my mom would never let me try those and I grew up that way.

It’s rare, in America, for their to be an actual stall. Food trucks or carts are much more common and serve the same function. Stalls can be found at festivals and fairs.
Some of the best food comes out of food trucks. There’s a whole little culture around food trucks.
I’ve seen stalls in other countries on TV. Anthony Bourdain, for instance. He seems to accept a certain amount of food poisoning and dubious ingredients. Some of it still looks really good.
We also have the Tamale Lady phenomenon here. If you see a Hispanic lady or old man selling tamales out of a cooler, you better get some. They’ll be the best damn tamales you’ve ever had.
