Roller coaster ice cream

The above video is of a cart somewhere in India that sells roller coaster ice cream. It is made by filling a drum with ice and salt and then, as the drum is rotated, covering the outer surface with milk, fruit juices and bits of fresh fruit. Toppings can be added. It is not the most hygienic looking operation, but I imagine the ice cream it produces is a tasty treat. 

These types of carts seem to be popular throughout southwest Asia. Many are motorized, but some, like the one in the video, are hand cranked. My hat is off to the guy who spends all day cranking that thing.

A fish market on Lake Victoria

This is the Ggabba Landing fish market in Kampala, Uganda on the shores of Lake Victoria. The videographer orders a fish fried over an open fire with sides of fries and salad. It is all very tasty looking. Later in the video he talks discusses the economics of running the stall with the vendor. The accent can be a bit thick, so you might want to turn on the captioning.

Caveman Steak and more!

These videos are from Aden Films a YouTube channel about gourmet and street food. There is no narration, and no real recipes given, although now and again they'll mention the ingredients they're using at the time. They also do the occasional dance and nature videos. It's all very nicely filmed.

Street food at the Ruifeng Night Market



This video shows some food from a night market in Kaohsiung Taiwan. I love Taiwanese night markets, they feature a lot of stalls and stores with all sorts of goods and have a lot of venders selling street food. Tasting the different foods is a lot of appeal of the places.

Of the food shown I would love to try the Big Takoyaki Ball in a cup (although the commenters to the video seem to think they are overcooked and that it is a shame to break the balls up before serving them) or the Flaming Beef Cubes cooked with a blowtorch.
