RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

There’s a food truck in Victoria BC called The Melt Truck, has the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. It’s saved my life more than once. The last time I’ve had food from a truck was in Nanaimo BC, The Poutine Truck (I can’t remember the exact name, that’s what we call it), and it was amazing. They have a bunch of different ones, I think I got the cheeseburger one. They have vegan options for just about all the options too. So good!
Gonna put this on my to-do list!
If it’s the melt truck they are next to the corner of bay and rock bay, behind the card lock. Only Monday to Friday though! I get the original with banana peppers. And the poutine truck is all over Nanaimo, they have a fb page with their schedule. You will not be disappointed!
Damn I was just blocks away last time I was there!
I love the BBQ push carts that have sticks of stuff you choose and they cook them right there.
The last one I got was chicken hearts on a skewer, and liver skewer
love a falafel sandwich in NYC. ah, I miss...
The best falafel sandwich I had was in Hebron, they were making it very freshly and it just cost like 30 cents or so.
Hard to beat tacos from the dirty vendor in an LA parking lot
I had an Oliebol last weekend. It’s basically a ball of fried dough (with raisins in my case) covered in powdered sugar.
They’re a Dutch seasonal thing, traditionally eaten on new year’s eve.
Meat kebabs from the DR, here in the US.
I got a feeling that a lot of people are going to post things like, "Unless you've had the kentil jabroni on the streets of Naventus, then you've never had street food."
I'm not well traveled, so my favorite is this food truck that serves nachos, but with tater tots. Tatchoes, if you will. Fucking amazing. I like Taco Truck tacos, but they are always so tiny and expensive these days.
Yeah, man, but that kentil jabroni is something else though, right?
I've only been to Naventus on work, so I didn't get the chance.
I got some kind of beef and cheese wrap from a food truck once that was amazing. IDK the name of it though to track them down again. The last time I ate from one I just got a burger and it was pretty shitty.
There's really only two options I've ever seen here in the US: Hotdogs or tacos.
I love a good taco truck. Though sometimes I wish California had hotdog carts like NYC does. Or if street food was just more common in the country in general. You really only see it during events like faires and the like.
They do have hotdog carts. At least in Los Angeles. Bacon wrapped and smothered in fajitas, still my favorite hot dogs in the whole world.
I had these brown sugar pretzels that were really good a couple weeks ago
Best is a hard tie between a burger from the Bleeker van in London, and pani puri (crunchy pockets filled with curry) from a handcart in Pokhara. Most recently was moo ping (grilled pork skewers) from a stall in Thakek. They weren't very good which made me sad.
Venezuelan steak Pepito. My favorite sandwich now hands down.
oh. I thought you meant food from less than licensed vendors so the only thing I ever got was street tamales. which are cheap and delicious.
I bought some tamales from a guy selling them out of his trunk
Had a quesadilla that was fried like a tortilla chip. Holy cow.
When I was in Jerusalem I got me a Sabich, it wa samazing!
There's simply none near here, so maybe like, twenty years ago when I visited nyc. I liked roasted chestnuts, those were nice.
Do hotdogs at baseball games count? Then maybe a decade ago instead.
