Street Food Quiz: From Halo-Halo to Calzones, guess country by their street food 

Food is an absolutely vital part of the travel experience. The key to understanding a place’s culture and history often lies in its cuisine. While many globetrotters choose to do this by booking a table at a popular tourist trap restaurant, we believe that in order to find the best food in a new place, one often has to take to the streets. Not only is eating street food an easy and inexpensive way to fill your stomach, but it also opens the door to a whole world of utter deliciousness. Here is a street food quiz where you have to find the country by the clues of the street food they serve.
