, and in France they serve
lovely pancakes called crêpes. At the seaside in many
countries, people eat
chips
, ice cream or
seafood
.
In many ways, street food is better than
restaurant food. It’s much cheaper, and you know
it’s fresh because you watch the chef prepare and cook
it in front of you. It’s also more fun to eat – you can
use your hands and not worry about what the waiter
thinks of you! People often buy and eat food outside
at music festivals and at sports events like football
matches. There are also street food festivals in many
cities. People can try new food from around the world
at these festivals.
