- In today's video I head to the Dorset Street Food Festival in Poole with Mrs Greeno and Little'un.
We try food from 5 stalls, some great, so not so great... but is it overpriced?

Hi folks - hope you all had a good weekend ! Time for some street food - 5 reviews in one !!!
Which would be the items we bought that you would most like to try? Let me know !!
I would choose the Gyros pita ❤@@GreenoEats
The duck fries looked the best to me better if the fries are done in the duck fat?🦆
@@jessicanippes1730 It was excellent, great flavour and certainly had good weight to it !!
@@robsmith6281 They were just fried in normal oil I think, but the duck with the hoisin was a nice flavour
Personally, I've always thought that these sort of Street food things were overpriced food served unhygyienically out of the back of tents/vans. Like Glastonbury festival but without the music. But for some of the vendors they are the first experiment into doing the food they love to the masses. And i know that some find a permanent location with a queue down the street. So i can see why the vendors do it and why buyers go. Well done on the 5K subs and thank you to the Misses and the Littleun for letting us borrow you.
Yes, street food is a good introduction to the catering world, where you can hone your skills before potentially moving on to bigger and better things. Glad you enjoy the content :-)
Livng in Poole I didn't go to this mainly because of the prices but also because invariably that now ridiculous term "street food" has simply become a label to put on some noodles or a wrap sold from a van and charge twice what it's worth and often considerably more than what the same food would cost from a decent local restaurant. That, and and eating outside with nowhere to sit on actual chairs and a table with my food served in disposable packaging and cutlery is a personal vision of hell.
Ha ha, I see your point. The way we look at it is we can try all different kinds of food for not much more than it would cost us to go to a big standard chain restaurant!
All food looked great. A bit pricey but the stalls have to pay through the nose for their pitches !!! Great video.
Yep, that pitch cost has to be passed on to the customer. But overall (apart from the jerk chicken) everything was reasonably good value, especially that Afghan wrap.
Thanks for including us in your family excursion - that Afghan wrap did look intriguing.
It was a fun day, sunshine, a couple of beers and grazing on street food all afternoon 🙂
Have to agree with the ladies I liked the look of the gyros best great viewing and loved the gymnastics display in the background she’s a little star
She does like the opportunity to show off doesn't she ha ha !
@@GreenoEats so she should she’s good
@@user-cx1cv2fu8n she does a gymnastics club each week - really enjoys it, practices a lot. Some of the stuff she does defies belief!
Lovely weather Greeno, as rare as a cheap street food in the UK
I wish it was like it today - raining down here in Dorset right now :-(
Top video once again Greeno! The wrap and the Gyros looked ace to me! Great to see the family to mate. All the best ….Smithy
Thanks Smithy ! Hope all is good with you and yours my friend :-) 100% agree that the 2 wraps were the stars of the show - that Afghan one for a tenner was a bargain !!
@@GreenoEats looked ace Greeno! Where are you Wednesday? You should do a Live! 🤣🤣🤬
@@theabandonedhunter3604 But nobody would watch, cos they'll be watching the game ha ha ! Hoping to sneak down the boozer for the game....
@@GreenoEats true supporters would pal! 😉
They all look great and tasty but I thought on the expensive side. I don't think they were value for money but I suppose the operators have the captive audience and licences for these events aren't cheap. Thanks very much for a great review. It is appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words. I am sure the vendors are paying high pitch fees to be able to atted the event - they're the ones carrying the can for it being a free to attend event I suppose ! Of course they have to pass the costs on in the form of higher food prices... It was a pleasant afternoon in the sunshine, grazing on mostly delicious food !!
I really enjoyed this review Mr Greeno, ye are a lovely little family, regards from Éire
I'm glad you enjoyed the content - and thanks for the kind words about the family - just a shame our 17 year old seems to either be working at weekends, or have far more important things to do than hang out with Dad ha ha !
The Hoisin dish looked really good too and good sized portion. I always think food tastes better when you eat it out in the fresh air and especially on a nice sunny days like in your video
It was decent! And eating all fresco in the sunshine definitely helped the whole experience
@@ajayjackson7727 I prefer bbq sauce any Chinese
And would prefer a few other ingredients in with that
That looked such a great day out with some amazing offerings 👍
You need to check out Bolton Food and Drink Festival
(August 23, 2024 - August 26, 2024 ).....they had over half a million people visit last year.
Wow, that sounds like a huge event - have you been before? It is really good ? Unfortunately I am going to be in France over the August bank holiday this year, but who knows, maybe next year!
@@GreenoEats ...I've visited many times and can assure you it's an awesome event with the likes of Ainsley Harriott , James Martin , The Hairy Bikers etc,etc making appearances. ( Sadly no Dave Myers this year )
Do you ever go to the Christchurch Food Festival, we went for many years and saw it grow so much, not been for some time. This Poole one looked good, some food seemed very expensive but I guess they have a captive audience, trouble is then a lot of people can’t afford it. Good day out though
I haven’t ever been to the Christchurch one, it’s at the end of May in the half term and I never seem to remember, or there’s something esle going on. Maybe in 2025!
Cant believe i missed you i went on sunday and my favourite was the gyros i had the greek i also liked the afgan wrap for the flavours but for value the gyros
Ah one day behind us - we went on the Saturday. The gyros had some heft to it didn't it - like a newborn baby !!
"Is street food overpriced?" The simple answer is no. It is artisan food made with love care and attention. It is not mass produced from a corporate chain like McDonald's or Burger King etc, who employ burger flippers who are totally disinterested and just want a job to establish an income. We have all been to a burger chain and ended up with mistakes in our order like a badly put together burger or missing items. This is all due to a lack of care and attention whomever served us.
Your Afghan chicken wrap looked amazing. There are thousands of wrap shops up and down the UK, but you would not get anything of that quality from a corporate chain.
The Jamaican chicken, rice and peas looked lovely, but I take not that you said it had been pre-cooked and was sitting on the counter, so was a bit cold.
I think the duck dirty fries looked to be my overall favourite. I would definitely order them and try them. With the Afghan wrap being a very close second, so much so, I would probably have both.
The meat bowl with pickled onion and slaw did look nice and I may be tempted to try it, but it would not be at the top of my list.
Gyros is fairly common, so although this may have been better than the average high street offering, I would not be in a rush for it. It did make me laugh seeing you hold the Gyros and commenting on its weight; it looked like you were cradling a baby.
I think some of the items we had were priced more sensibly than others. The Jamaican food I think was too expensive for what it was, whereas the Afghan wrap was certainly inexpensive. But as you say, you are also paying a little bit for the love and passion of those who create it.
WOW all that food looks so amazing!
There were certainly some tasty options, buy goodness they were a little on the pricey side !
Think I would go with your ratings for that selection. My first reaction was that they are expensive but when you think of them as costing 2 MacDonald meals they seem better value.
That's not a bad way of looking at it. If a single burger in KFC can be almost £9 then a tenner for that Afghan wrap was a steal !
Definitely the Afghan wrap 1st and then the giros 2nd for me 😍
Good choice !
Gyros!! Giros is what we get off the government twice a month on the dole in Liverpool ha
not such a cheap day out but it looked pretty good
Certainly cost a bit, but if we'd gone for lunch in a chain restaurant we'd probably have paid similar and not had such a wide range of tasty food !
A very nice selection there ,all looked fresh .The prices seemed fair for what you had there, a nice afternoon . The weather made it as well.❤️😜🙏🏼
@@karenclancey2557 yep, a sunny afternoon spent grazing with a couple of beers - what's not to like !!
Tenner, well worth it. The second one looks reasonable... Costly. That one. Wow ,Duck our favourite meat for the slow cooker. Yours looks wonderful. That Duck looks nice. 2nd favourite so far. £9 not bad. No 4 looks nice.. Brisket beef another favourite. Well worth it. Now this looks like number one now.. Wonderful flavours. Costly, but worth it. Thanks for the reviews..
The Afghan wrap was the cheapest items of the day, and in my opinion the best, most flavoursome. The second item, the jerk chicken was decent, the sides a bit of a letdown - and the most expensive item of the day too !
Definitely thought the two wraps ...especially the last one , looked delicious. Im not a fan of lots of food piled into bowls that are too small, its really hard to eat ...especially with a wooden fork , makes me agitated 😆🤦🏼♀️But what a great way to try different foods 😋😋I have to say Little un stole the show with her gymnastics 😂when you were eating your smoked meats 🤭
@@kerriesowka6666 she’s a little show off isn’t she! She delights in asking me “Dad, can you do this?” Knowing full well there is absolutely no chance ha ha
@@GreenoEats Youll have to practice in secret and surprise her one day 😆
Hello Greeno and family hope ye are all well 🙏
The 2 wraps looked the best
Street food is gone very expensive but it's ok if the food is good
As always another awesome video 👍🤗🍀
Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video. Street food is expensive, but I am advised that the price of the pitches is really high, so the vendors have to bump their prices up to cover that.
I find that these street food events and farmers markets are very expensive
They are expensive, although I recently found out how much these street food vendors are charged for the pitch fees, and it's extortionate!
@@GreenoEats That is the whole problem with this country.
All that eating I'd be full as a butchers dog afterwards 😳lol
We were grazing over the course of the afternoon, so it wasn't as intense as trying to eat them all at once !
Hi Greeno I have just joined the channel, and I love the way you present it, and I have to say that littlen is adorable! She seems to have a wicked sense of humour!
Oh she certainly has! The apple didn't fall far from the tree that's for sure!
Another excellent review
Thanks, very kind of you to say so!
Nice one mate. love the music as well. who are they?
Thanks ! The music is just from the TH-cam audio library for non-copyright music - it's called End of Summer by The 126ers
I totally get the prices they're charging mate... After all they have to travel to and from these food festivals dotted all around the country... And we all know that Petrol and Diesel aren't exactly cheap these days either... Then there's the Butane Gas Bottles for cooking the food... And of course Generators are needed to provide an Electrical supply for when they're situated in the middle of an open field... And they need to run refrigerators to keep both uncooked food chilled... And also a variety of drinks cold as well... Plus the actual costs of the raw ingredients needed... And that's before they've even paid their staffs wages... Or even taken any kind of profits from their food festival sales... Most businesses run the 3 thirds business plan... Where you allocate a third of your overall costs for the basic ingredients needed... A third of your overall costs for your overheads such as... Food & Drink... Fuel... Staff Wages... Cleaning... Cartons... Cups... Wooden Cutlery... Napkins... Condiments... Kitchen Foil... Cardboard Boxes... etc... And the final third of your costs... Are for your overall profits... So buying a food item that costs £9.99... It'll be split evenly three ways... £3.33 for the basic raw ingredients... £3.33 for your overheads... And you'll be left with £3.33 in profits... So although the prices might seem quite high... Especially if you're buying several different food and drink items... While you're there visiting with your family... But it certainly looked like you all enjoyed your family day out to this food festival... And the weather looked absolutely gorgeous Greeno... All the very best my friend... Cheers mate.🍺
I imagine that even at these prices it might not be a third for the profits - the festival organisers charge a pretty high pitch price... and as you say they charge pretty high prices for the power etc.
I have to say we did have a great day out - it's nice to go somewhere that you can pick and choose from various cuisines and just graze over a few hours 😀
@@GreenoEats Yeah pal... The reason i mentioned the generators... Are that i wasn't sure about whether there was any kind of an electrical supply provided to each individual pitch... Or if they were all left to run their own generators... But you're probably right... That if each pitch is such a high price... They'll probably tweak their prices accordingly... Cheers Greeno.🍺
@@rickb3645 Totally agree great points made
To answer your Q. from the main it must be a YES !!. But I'll watch the gymnast all day :D and, yes, she is the star of the channel :D
Ha ha, and she doesn't miss an opportunity to tell me either... she says that if she's going to be in videos then I should pay her because more people will watch 😂
Your daughter doing an out-take from the Exorcist behind you was a bit worrying! But the food looked tasty just expensive! Most of those places were at the Christchurch one, but when I saw burgers at £16, I gave it a pass!
Ha ha - she's full of energy and I am sure almost every joint in her body must be double jointed! £16 for a burger is strong isn't it - even Clarkson wasn't (quite) charging that !!
Afghan wrap looks amazing and good value. Chance to try other cuisines you normally wouldn't try and its a learning curve and experiment . Loved little uns gymnastics display. What a star.
That's exactly whay I like street food - a chance to try flavours we might not normally have at home, and maybe then use them as inspiration for meals we make ourselves! As for Little'un - she's a little show off isn't she ha ha !!
What a lovely day you all had with the weather being so nice. Excellent camera work from Mrs Greeno. I agree with your ranking, the Afghan wrap looked so tasty and not too expensive. Hope you had a good time at the cricket. I'm going to the Utility Bowl again on Friday night and going to have one of the those Greek wraps, the one I had last time was delicious.
I was at the cricket on Saturday for the Women’s T20… video coming out at 5pm Friday if you want some inspiration, we tried a few different places!🙂
@@GreenoEats You'll have to give me a clue if anything better than the Greek place as I'll be travelling to the ground at that time! 😄
@@The-KimP Spoiler alert…. Hog roast and Indian Street food we found better than the Gyros we got 🙂
@@GreenoEats Might try the hog roast then, thanks for the tip off!
Indian street food very popular in NYC,not so much Afghan.I don’t know how much you have over there,as I really haven’t seen anyone eating Indian street food.I’m talking things like pani puri,Vada Pao,papri chaat,Pav bhaji,and Kati rolls,also known as Frankie’s,and a whole lot more.I love anything Indian,Chinese,Thai,Vietnamese,and Malaysian.😊
Love food festivals. and fair play to the organisers with unreliable UK weather to contend with.
Our local has cookery lessons by qualified chefs and live bands in the evening.
It's always good to have a mooch round and see what looks good isn't it :-) And yeah, I guess it's a bit of a lottery as to whether the rain will keep everyone away and you lose money !
Some interesting foods there . . I thought the duck was good value for what you got .
Here in NZ the food truck movement is starting to kick off other than at markets . . 4 or 5 trucks will have a night in a particular suberb . . Same night every week etc . .
Great vid as usual . . Till next time take care .
Bye from NZ 🇳🇿🍻👋twa .
PS . .
Not sure if you go to music festivals but a band i follow called The Warning are playing some festivals in the uk . . If you like rock youd like this band . I think Greeno kids would like them too . 3 sisters from Monterrey Mexico . . Playing rock . . . Awesome . 🍻👋
You can get some great food from food trucks, and as small businesses it’s always good if you can support them. Not heard of the Warning, I will definitely check them out.. thanks for the tip!
@@GreenoEats let me know what you think of them . . Coz i will ask at some point lol . .
I have just listened to a couple of their tunes - normally I am more of an indie kid who dips into the rock genre occasionally... however, what I heard so far reminds me a little of the rockier end of the Garbage back catalogue, which is no bad thing! I'm going to listen to some more certainly !!
Looks more enjoyable that your last food video. Just thinking that my late mum was not that fond of lamb either.
💯damn right it was (albeit a lot more expensive!)
Yes pricy and paste worth the cost.
Hey Greeno, another entertaining vlog, visually the food looked great. The prices were a no-no though. The vendors were charging restaurant/ takeaway prices but without the overheads. Looking forward to the next vlog.
The one overhead people miss with these kind of things is the extortionate pitch fees the vendors have to pay. Depending on the festival it can be anything from £500 to £1500 per day just to be there. That’s a lot of items you have to sell just to recoup that!
There was no way that the jerk chicken meal was worth £16, and was cold! 😲
Get some Vanish on that grease stain on your T-Shirt too. 😉
That was BBQ sauce - luckily Mrs Greeno is a wizard with such things and the stain is gone ! The jerk chicken dish was the biggest disappointment of the day.
What a lovely day including your sweet family ❤ The afghan pita looked really nice, love a minty sauce 😊 Never tried jamaican food, but would love to try, chicken and rice is always a winner...Little miss sunshine seems a bit bored of food reviews 😂😂
it was quite a hot day, so Little'un kind of lost her patience with being on camera - but she was having fun practising her gymnastics ha ha ! I'll be looking out for more Afghan food for sure, that was the absolute star of the show!
'Turtle Bay' has branches throughout the UK. Meant to be pretty good. Jess
@@nigel8499 never heard of turtle bay, as I live in Cologne Germany ;) will google it :)
@@nigel8499 I've not been to a Turtle Bay before, I think my nearest branch is Southampton so maybe one day I will check it out. Although Jessi lives in Cologne, Germany - probably a bit far for her to travel ha ha !
Street food is always overpriced. It may be tasty but far to expensive.
That's in part due to the astronomical site fees the stalls have to pay though, some of them are in the thousands per day!!
I find street food expensive but enjoy ❤
It is expensive, but I think we spent about £60 on food, another £25 on drinks… you can easily do that in a chain restaurant and have a lot less quality and variety.
You have better weather than us in the southeast, but expensive but don’t have it everyday, ok for a treat, agree the first one looked lovely
This video was filmed just over a week back now, so the weather was great… it’s dreadful now ha ha! Thanks for watching 🙂
Duck is just a chocken dressed in a tux so they can change more for it. All food outside of my kitchen is overriced. 😉
To be honest, most of the time I prefer chicken to duck anyway (unless it's in those little pancakes with hoisin etc.) Eating out is certainly getting more and more expensive, but with rent, utilities etc. being so high in price now, wages to cover and profits to be made it's gonna be that way for a while I think.
@@GreenoEatsYep, the days of chicken for 77 cents a pound, and the dollar menu items here in California are long gone. On the other hand, Jack in the Box still offers their tacos for two for 99 cents! I think the filling is beef flavored cat food mixed with soy protein. 😉😋You have a new subscriber.
@@fv1291 yeah, you do have to wonder if there is a really cheap item available somewhere... ok if it's clearly a loss leader - but if it's just what they do then you know they are turning it out and still making a profit... questions have to be asked !! Thanks for the sub, I hope you'll continue to enjoy the content!
Costco still sells a rotisserie chicken for $4.99, knowing you'll spend another $3-400 on stuff you don't need, like a 75 pack of toilet paper. 🤣
@@fv1291 yep, the big stores are crafty like that !
The food looked great, but the longer I am away from the UK, the more the prices look ridiculous. (The costs of the pitches are a disgrace).
But it is great too see how much more variety of food is now available.
The variety is great isn’t it, it’s interesting to come across new flavours. As for the pricing, well yeah, it’s at the top end.
Green o why don’t you just marry the Afghan wrap already
Ha ha, Mrs Greeno wouldn't be too happy with that arrangement!!
Great day out Greeno. The gyros looked yummy
Yeah, we had a lovely afternoon in the sunshine… couple of beers and grazing on some good food 🙂
I should not have watched this while hungry. It looked so tasty. Some were well overpriced, the jerk chicken for sure. The wraps would probably have been my favourite too as they put sauces and salad with a nice bread. I was laughing as well with little un doing her somersaults in the background lol.
The sauces on the Afghan wrap especially were amazing. It was a nice day out for sure, glorious sunshine, couple of beers and grazing all afternoon. How little’un does all that tumbling around having just eaten is beyond me quite frankly ha ha!
Hi mate looks great, wonderful atmosphere.
Love food festivals like that.
Sorry to go back to Mainz again but their annual food festival down by The Rhine is awesome one weekend.
Lots of stalls, great beers etc.
Artisan producers etc and cake stalls cheese etc.
Prices yes a little bit up .
But you have to remember most of these guys probably don't have a shop etc and have to make their money in the summer at festivals be it music or food festivals.
Hats off to them.
Great choice etc.
Afghan roll amazing, I love Middle Eastern food, Syrian food Lebanese etc .
Lebanese red wine is awesome to🍷🍷🍷🍷
Middle Eastern flavours are addictive aren't they. As for the prices, it's partly them having t make money, but partly the extortionate pitch fees that they have to pay - some festivals are charging £1000 - £1500 PER DAY just for the pitch hire. No wonder the food price has to be whacked up a bit !
@GreenoEats Good grief I never knew that got to sell a hell of a lot.
Well, no entry cost is a ". big up from me " Always a bit of a con in my mind. Pay to get in, then the extras 💷💷💷💷 I think that chicken thighs are the best bit of the bird. Holds its juice really well £10 for a filling wrap 👍👍👌Jerk Chicken, I'd have said £12 for a portion £14 for the large. Duck'n'fries looks like a real deal meal ❤🦆🍟fair price. Couldn't really pay attention to the smoked meats. Watching young'un cartwheeling around, and after eating & drinking. MY stomach was doing flip flops. To end another stuffed flatbread. Well, cheap eats are a thing of the past. Quite a few street vendors in Central London nowadays, so a tadge spoilt for choice. And prices are very reasonable for the location. That seemed a nice way to spend the day. Fabulous food and a lovely family 👨👩👦❤️See you in the next video Allan&Family
Thanks for your detailed analysis - very fair ! We had a nice day in the sunshine, couple of beers and grazing our way through the afternoon. Little'un baffles me with her gymnastics and acrobatics. She could eat a full roast dinner and then cartwheel her way out of the room - crazy !! Prices a touch high (apart from the first wrap) but I imagine the pitch fees for the vendors at this kind of event are extortionate.
What more could you ask for lovely day out with the family and some new tastes and experiences
Excellent video.
No £5 meal deals there 😂😂😂😂
Literally nothing you could buy for a fiver there, well maybe some fries perhaps ! It was a lovely day in the sunshine, couple of pints and grazing on different cuisines, what could be better !
Expensive but so.is.burger king
Unless you get the BK app ;-) But yes, food everywhere is expensive, so I guess it's all relative isn't it.
Poole definitely got some large people 😂
True, but so have most British towns!
@@GreenoEats maybe I don’t get around enough 🤣
I just remember seeing your Sainsbury’s video with super large people in the background 😊
They could have done with some picnic tables 🇨🇦
They only had a handful and apparently they were trying to have people pay to use them, like a booking system.
We stopped eating at popup food stalls years ago because of poor value and poor quality food.
We just stick with established venues.
If you go online and look at pitch costs its ridiculous. Bristol harbour festival which has many food stalls costs around £1000 a day for the pitch. That's a lot of money to claw back!
That's free entry and worth going to Vs the food festival which has less food stalls but you pay to get in.
This is the thing, the pitch fees - some are up to £1500 per day. Imagine how many gyros or whatever you have to sell to even break even... hence the inflated costs. Although in saying that I would rather pay £14 for that gyros than whatever I would get for £14 in a Harvester or something like that !
Everything in the UK is a ripoff. It's a huge risk for a small business. What if they pay £1000 and it rains all day, is there any protection? It seems like lose, lose for the small business, and the festivals pile up the profits.
@@FastSnax I think they have to just suck it up if the weather is bad. Meaning they lose the pitch fee, and the cost of ingredients that they probably have to bin.
Crikey greano...you didnt give your family a look in...youve ever likely piled weight on lololol😂😂😂
Cheeky ! I may have got the first bite of things for the camera, but believe you me, the little gymnast probably troughed as much as either me or Mrs Greeno did ha ha!!
OK I believe you xx
All street food (outside of Thailand etc) is overpriced.
I bet it's dead cheap over there
Mr Greeno great video but I hope you don’t mind me saying you are we’ll punching mate 🥊🥊
You are not the first person to have mentioned this 🤣
@@GreenoEats 😂😂 keep up the good work 👍😄
Im.why mrs d love duck
Duck is one meat I am just not sure why there's a fuss about it. I mean I don't mind it, but it's way down on the list for me.
its just the cost. 1st stall £10 £11 pound..
why would you think you are the star even the dog is above you hehehe
good to have a 5 star cameraman or woman hehe
as soon as you go over a £10 you need a good portion size.
some of the foods have cheap base food. like chips maybe cost 30p with some sliced duck on
the food gets dried out due to keeping warm and cooking ages ago.
i do think daddy should do what child did
how much did you spend. how much did you eat that diet is not going well
We grazed during the afternoon, so that was lunch and dinner all in one. The pricing is high because the organisers charge very high fees for the vendors pitches, and the vendors then have to pass that one to the consumer.
No chance of me doing the gymnastics and contorsions that Little'un did, I wouldn't be able to get up for a week ha ha !
G All Seemed Bit Dear 1St 4ME 😉An I Would Have Gone Back 4Hot Rice&Veg Or Mighty Big Sorry😂Toni
Some of the food was dear, but most of it was tasty !
Well over priced. £12 for a wrap. £16 for a tray of Jerk Chicken and sides, Duck Fries £9, Smoked meat £12, Gyros £14
Street food is supposed to be made on the spot, be hot and be cheap. None of these seemed relevant. Compared to Take Away they don't have to pay much in the way of overheads. Would I pay these prices, definitely not.
Someone selling real chips and curry sauce for £5 or Baked potato for the same would have cleaned up.
One of the major reasons for the high prices is the site fees the vendors have to pay. Depending on the event it can be anything from £500 to £1500 per day, plus additional costs for power etc. You have to shift a lot of wraps to absorb that kind of overhead in a day.
Nice video chap….
Why thank you, much appreciated !
Tasty food
In the main yes !
Hot looking wife Mr Greeno! wow. 💌🤟
Hands off 😂 I know I am punching above my weight mind ha ha!!
Street food is always £££
The Afghan wrap was fairly priced, but the rest was a touch on thie high side!
Massive'NO' to brutally slaughtered halal meats.
I can certainly understand that position, although I understand in most cases in this country some kind of stun is used making it not that much more brutal than traditional British ways of slaughter. None of it's very nice, not a job I would want to do.
And Kosher, but you didn't mention that! You better get used to it, it's going to be in more and more places as the demand increases. I'm afraid also regardless of how your meat is killed, that's just the end of what is mainly a brutal process for most animals, from chicks that are put in a grinder at birth to animals put in pens. (and No I'm not a vegan).
Uk the animals are stunned before they do their prayer stuff.
@@FastSnaxsuggest stop watching those fake videos online. Our meat is clearly marked for halal and kosher. You can’t accidentally buy it from a supermarket. If you eat out yeah you’re halal. There’s a snack van near me and the guy brags how it’s cheaper. Fair enough that’s his choice to see it. He really should have it marked on his menu for anyone who’s got issues. But he’s dishonest in my opinion
@@EdsCanineAcademy Dude I live in a Muslim country, many of the places I eat are halal. Once we are killing and eating animals, the way we do it really isn't the issue.
Plenty of slaughter houses skimp the niceties, the stories are not all made up, plenty of video evidence.
You either accept that's part of eating meat or go vegan. Sadly, I choose meat.
EAT STREET FOOD - REPEAT. I love an honest ad, as it usually does.
Ha ha, nice one!
My gout would be giving me unbearable pain greeno after all that lot . Really envious of you. From a hungry boro fan.
Good dose of Allopurinol will sort that out for you pal, then crack on :-)
Did you say £5 for a small portion of fries, total rip-off?
Yep - everything fairly expensive, although the traders have to pay a high cost for the pitches - so it has to be passed on I guess...
£10 absolute con for a chicken wrap RIP off Britain
That was the best item of the day - I didn't mind paying £10 for it at all
Street food is supposed to be cheap, I wouldn't pay more than a fiver for any of those dishes but the Afghan food did look good but still not worth what you paid for it
I guess in a lot of places where street food is prevalent (particularly Asia) folk are literally setting up on the street for free. Of course here that isn’t the case. I have heard that the site fees for food vendors can be anything from £500 to £1500 per day depending on location, of course those fees have to be passed on to the consumer.
