I have always been in love with street food.

I'm so glad you included zapiekanka!

Every once in a while

These all sound so good. I bet I can make them taste bad though with my cooking.

Empanadas and leche frita is so delicous but so fattening these are high in cals but you know what you only live once so eat but as a treat every once just don't overdo it

These all look delicious. (:

I'm in Japan right now and last night I had really good Takoyaki - they were crispy and delicious!!
