Not all great meals come from restaurant...

    Not all great meals come from restaurants. Some are served from carts and stalls, and eaten on the go. So-called street food is not only delicious, but can be found in nearly every country, rich or poor, says Carla Diamanti, co-author of Street Food: Authentic Snacks from Around the World.. “It’s a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place ,”says the Italian writer, who has nibbled(细咬) her way around the globe. She shares some favorite snacks----and snacking places with us.

Naples, Italy

Pizza: Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food, but Diamani says there’s nothing like the way it’s prepared in Naples. The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers. If you’re eating it on the go, you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio（钱包）, literally wallet style. “Our pizza is quick and simple,” she says .www. inaples. it

New York

Hot dogs: When foreigners first visit America, one of the first things many want to try is the country’s typical snack food, the hot dog. “It’s like the flag of America---both inexpensive and democratic,” Diamanti says, “You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall.” 212--484--1 200; www.nycgo.com

Japan

Bento boxes: Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring. Bento boxes are filled with different dishes: often fish, meat, pickled vegetables, rice or tofu. “It’s really just a taste,” she says. While the containers are often elaborate（精心制作的） wooden serving trays, they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212--757--5 640;www.jnto.go.jp

Jamama el Fna Square ,Marrakech, Morocco

Food stalls: When the sun begins to set, this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing, dance and eat. Hundreds of stalls serves grilled meat, chicken and rice “There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,” Diamanti says. 212—221—1 583;www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/
