One of the articles from the Star really caught my eye today - "Fewer Street Dogs, More samosas by summer?" It's about time that we see a diversity of street foods on our streets in Toronto. One of the amazing experiences of travelling abroad is to enjoy the wide selection of street foods. It is no exception for visitors who come to Toronto or any other Canadian cities. I am all for the possibility of diversifying our taste buds in addition to what we get now, namely the street dogs.
What's your take on street foods?
