There are countless reasons we love food so much. For one, food is a go-to for expressing your feelings.

You crave a certain dish when you’re happy and want to celebrate, as well as when you’re down and need some comfort.

Food is also related to a lot of positive things – it is rewarding, it completes family holidays, and it brings people together.

Here’s a list of must-try street food around the world:
