There are no hard and fast rules for what you can and can’t offer as a street food seller. Sweet or savoury, breakfast, lunch, dessert or snack, street food has no limitations, which is all part of its charm.
Due to the on-the-move nature of street food, it usually includes sweet and savoury foods that don’t require cutlery, which you can eat on the go. Street food is also synonymous with quality, and a higher price is typically paid due to the higher class of ingredients and cooking methods used.
