However, after a while you get used to things and begin to get familiar with the new place and its eccentricities, however the best to discover a city or town is through the local cuisine.

Trying street food essential when traveling to new places, and it’s a delicious window into new cultures-

You can call it the Chinese version of döner kebab, the rou jia mo is one of the world’s oldest sandwiches. The delectable sandwich supreme dates back to at 2000 years! The traditional version consists of minced pork that has been stewed in a heavily spiced soup for several hours. The filling is then stuffed in a flatbread with cilantro and mild peppers. The snack uses simple ingredients but is packed with flavor in every bite.
Choripán
Where: Buenos Aires
Sausage sandwiches are a staple of South American street food and the choripán is one of the most popular ones.

Falafel
Where: Tel Aviv
This dish is a Middle Eastern favorite, so much so that many nations have laid claim to it, however its origins remain a mystery. In Israel, it is considered to be the national dish. The dish includes deep-fried chickpeas balls stuffed in a pita as a filling and can be topped with salad, pickled vegetables, hot sauce and tahini sauce, as you like it. You can also choose to just have the fritters alone with some hummus on the side. Although the delicacy is widely available around the world, you’re likely to find the best falafel on the streets of Tel Aviv.
