Street food: why is it becoming so popular?
Buying food on the street is nothing, but in the UK this idea is really taking off.
It’s a great way of sampling freshly-cooked dishes from around the world.
What do you think of street food?
Yum yum, food! One of my favourite thing.
I love street food. There are some great places in London where you can find some delicious foods from all over the world, cooked in front of you in market stalls on the street.
It seems to be much more popular these days.
Where is the popularity of street food is growing?
It’s in bigger cities and also in the provinces. It’s getting more popular everywhere.
The growth is phenomenal - amazing, remarkable and extraordinary.
The growth is spectacular and really big!
It’s really taken off - it has became successful and popular.
It’s now becoming mainstream - it’s becoming an accepted part of the everyday eating experience.
I quite like a microwave meal now and then - and I reheat my leftovers in the microwave.
In many places the food you’re served is not freshly made. It may be pre-prepared and finished off in a microwave oven. It’s called microwave food.
But street food is authentic. It’s real, fresh, and cooked right in front of you and if it’s food from a particular country it’s probably being prepared by people from that culture.
This has captured the imagination of the public. It’s made the public interested in it.
It’s something that the public have experienced and thought - ‘yep, you know, I like this, this is a great idea.’
Vocabulary: phenomenal, take off, provinces, mainstream, capture the imagination, authentic, microwave food

Thank you
Thank you BBC Learning English.. I love street food ❤
Come to Hanoi Vietnam and enjoy street food !!
mee too ,i like street food and some food in HANoi and SaiGon, do you understand i say it ?
Việt nam :))
Yebbb. Welcome to Viet Nam!
Thanks you bbc. I love street food, too. And I feel so hungry when I listen this program 😋
Neil: Hello. Welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.
Rob: And I'm Rob.
Neil: Now Rob, you like your food, don't you?
Rob: Oh yes, yum yum, food! One of my favourite things.
Neil: And what do you think of street food?
Rob: I love street food. There are some great places in London where you can find delicious foods from all over the world, cooked in front of you in market stalls on the street.
Neil: It's quite new though, isn't it - not really a British tradition.
Rob: I guess not, but it seems to be much more popular these days.
Neil: Well our topic today is street food, but before we tuck into that, here is today's question. Recently archaeologists in Jordan discovered what they believe is the oldest remains of bread. How old is this bread?
Is it: a) 18,000 years old, b) 14,000 years old, or c) 5,500 years old? What do you think?
Rob: I don't know - but what I do know is, I wouldn't really want to try a sandwich made from that bread!
Neil: Mmm, it might be a bit mouldy.
Rob: Yes! Anyway,
I'm going to have a guess then. I'll go for c) 5,500 years old.
Neil: Right, we will find out the answer later in the programme. Mark Laurie is from the Nationwide Caterers Association. He is an expert in the business of street food in the UK. He appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme and was asked how the business of street food has changed in recent years. In his answer he talks about the areas where there is most growth in street food. What are those areas?
Mark Laurie: It's been phenomenal the growth in street food, it's really taken off, it's really become quite mainstream. Part of the cultural fabric of the country really, or it's beginning to be, certainly in the bigger cities and increasingly in the sort of provinces, if you like.
Neil: So where does he say the popularity of street food is growing?
Rob: He says that it's in the bigger cities and also in the provinces. The provinces is a word which means 'the parts of a country outside of the cities'.
Neil: So essentially, he's saying it's getting more popular everywhere.
Rob: Exactly. In fact he says the growth is phenomenal. This means he thinks the growth is spectacular, really big.
Neil: Yes he says that it's really 'taken off'. 'Taken off' is one of those phrasal verbs that can be used in many different ways. In this sense, when something takes off it means it becomes successful and popular.
Rob: You know, street food isn't really something you associate with Britain. Perhaps it's the climate or British food - so street food is something that we are now getting used to and enjoying more. In fact Mark says that it's now becoming mainstream. This means that it's no longer something that is seen as being unusual or different. It's becoming an accepted part of the everyday eating experience.
Neil: Well, let's listen again to Mark Laurie talking about the growth of street food in the UK.
Mark Laurie: It's been phenomenal the growth in street food, it's really taken off, it's really become quite mainstream. Part of the cultural fabric of the country really, or it's beginning to be, certainly in the bigger cities and increasingly in the sort of provinces, if you like.
Neil: Mark Laurie goes on to talk about why street food has become popular. What kind of food does he say it's not like?
Mark Laurie: Yeah, it's just really captured the imagination of the public. It's honest food, it's authentic food and it's people that you can trust making it. It's not some microwave food or whatever that you might get in your local pub.
Neil: So street food is many things, but what isn't it?
Rob: Well he says that it's not like food you might get in some pubs. That food, he says, may be some microwave food. Which is food prepared in a microwave oven.
Neil: You know I quite like a microwave meal now and then and I reheat my leftovers in the microwave.
Rob: But I guess if you were paying for a nice meal you wouldn't expect reheated leftovers! I think the point he is making is that in many places the food you are served is not freshly made. It may be pre-prepared and finished off in a microwave. Street food, he says, is authentic.
Neil: Yes, authentic. It's real, fresh and cooked right in front of you and if it's food from a particular country it's probably being prepared by people from that culture.
Rob: He also says that this has captured the imagination of the public. It's something that the public have experienced and thought - 'Yep, you know, I like this, this is a great idea.'
Neil: Well, all this talk of food is making me hungry, so let's get the answer to the quiz and review today's vocabulary before we head off and grab a bite to eat. We asked about the age of bread discovered by archaeologists in Jordan.
Was it a) 18,000 years old, b) 14,000 years or c) 5,500 years. I said c) 5,500 years old.
Neil: And I'm afraid it's a lot mouldier than that. The answer was 14,000 years.
Rob: Very tasty I'm sure.
Neil: Yes! Right then, the vocabulary. We started off with the adjective 'phenomenal' to describe something that is amazing, remarkable and extraordinary.
Rob: Then we had 'to take off', a phrasal verb which means 'to become popular'. Street food has really taken off in the UK: it's become really popular.
Neil: And not just in the cities but also in the 'provinces', which is a noun to describe areas of a country that aren't the major cities.
Rob: Something which 'captures the imagination' is something which makes you interested and not just for a short time.
Neil: And one thing which has captured the imagination of the British public is authentic street food. Something 'authentic' is real, it's genuine, it's not a fake or a copy.
Rob: And finally we had 'microwave food', food prepared in a microwave oven. And that kind of food is not seen by some as authentic.
Neil: Well, it's time to eat, so that's all we have time for today. Join us again next time and remember you can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, CZcams and of course on our website bbclearningenglish.com. See you soon, bye.
Rob: Bye!

Who is like me. Watching BBC learning english in 6 hours . a big deal!
Back to school... 🤪😊😁
Lets get start into the classroom...
Thanks you to 6 minutes BBC Learning English.... 😉
Street food is a popular and diverse culinary experience found in many countries . Street food offers a taste of local culture and can vary greatly from region to region
Very interesting!! And educarional for non native english speakers
I think that street food is taking off not only in the UK, but in other countries too. Here in Brazil you'll find food trucks wherever you go and each one of them has its own type of food and they are always delicous.
Taiwan also have so many street food, ex.stink tofu, bubble tea, oyster pancakes.
The most amazing street food will be definitely in Egypt 🇪🇬♥️♥️
It was a amazing moment
Come to vietnam, and we will show u what is the best street food
Năng Vũ it was real 😊
It is the truth
I really live street foods. Thet are tasty and delicious. I like street foods in my country. The most popular street food is Shaurma. It's the common street food here. I would like to try to another country's street foods. I think they are awesome to try. Street foods in the USA are popular everywhere in my opinion
Great English thank so much.
Thanks
Can you put english translation on the picture
Hello guys. They mention about "cultural fabric", may you explain it? thank in advance.
It's a metaphor that means bringing all the different characteristics of something together to form a culture or type of society. Hope that helps.
Do you know ?! We have a big problem in Egypt with street food .. we don't have market stalls like Europe or America, but we have restaurants which make food , but the food at the restaurant is very dirty!!!! It's not clean !! For that reasons many people like me don't like eat at restaurants we prefer home food !!!
It’s worth every penny to pay for authentic food. Nowadays people love convenience and they don’t mind fast food from the microwave but from time to time we still like to savor every bite of the cuisine that is made from scratch.
YES... I AM VIETNAMESE TOO
I never had street food, but i love the smell when i walk by some stalls.
Which stalls smell the best?
hello everyone, who can please explain for me what does this sentence " it's quite new THOUGH " mean ? thank you very much
Hi Manh! 'Though' means something similar to 'but'. We use it to make a contrast with a previous sentence. The previous sentence in this case talks about how delicious and good street food is. The next person says - it's new though' meaning : yes street food is delicious but it's also quite new. We hope this answers your question.
Bbc six minute is wonderful but It will be great with subtitles
Hi Mohsin Falih! Our 6 Minute English videos on CZcams come with subtitles on CZcams and on our website. Just make sure you click on the settings cog to find them!
Thanks a lot for your efforts,
And here I have a question!
Take off and catch on, Are they comparable to each other ? (I was going to write similar but I remembered comparable, one of yours)
They are very similar, although I would say 'take off' is more about becoming successful and 'catch on' is about becoming popular, which you could argue are the same thing. Hope that helps.
@@bbclearningenglish thanks a lot yeah it does
In my country Peru, Macchu Picchu is taking off than inka's places.
*Indian Street food is always the best in the world.*
*I love Street food.*
I cannot go to the script link
I like street food. One of my fav street food is burger. I tried to eat burger in MC.D coz their burger advertised on TV seemed delicious. But, I surprised when I got my MC.D's burger. The appareance of M.CD's burger through TV wasnt same in reality. Thus every time I wanna have burger, I just go to the burger's street food near my house. It's cheaper n the taste wont be dissapointing. 😌
I really want to pratice english who is ready to help me improve E.
