Everything can be street food. All’s you gotta do it eat it off a street vendor !!

Rule of thumb, if you need a fork it’s not street food

Nah, I think it’s too messy to eat. My rule (someone else mentioned forks) is if you need more than one napkin or might drop shit all over the sidewalk even if you’re careful it’s not street food. That eliminates most dishes with rice.

No, definitely not.

Anyway, why are most photos here not of street food? Photos of food on plates, on tables, and in many of them, you can see it’s indoors. *Indoors*. Do you know what a street is? And no-one says anything.

Was it prepared on the street?

Not really. But there are plenty of places without physical stores that have some banger biriyani.

If the definition of street food is that at least 50% of it is sold by street vendors *in the country/culture of origin*, then no, biriyani is not street food.
Much in the same way that a steak doesn’t magically become street food because one street vendor sells steak.

Isn’t biryani often considered a celebration food where it’s made?
