End Of Street Meat In Toronto?
 

Ontarians could soon be chowing down on a wider selection of street eats after Health Minister George Smitherman announced Saturday that the government will update food regulations.

The new rules will allow street vendors to sell a variety of tasty items, including salads, fruit, pizza, samosas, soup and more. "By expanding street menus, we are making it possible for our food options to reflect our multiculturalism," said Smitherman.

"We are also helping a new group of entrepreneurs showcase their culture's culinary contributions to their cities," he added. The new law will also allow local health officers to approve items at their discretion. As of now, food regulations limit street offerings to pre-cooked meat products, like hot dogs and sausages.

The change will come into effect August 1.

This thread title is misleading.

Street meat is the only good thing Toronto has going for it.

I've wanted this for years.. Bring on the taco's. I miss mexico every day for the cheap food on the street late at night :/

I'm taking shits while thinking of Toronto.

after amsterdam you're fucked. nothing else compares

samosas lol

Haha, I thought you were talking about prostitution.

mmmmm fuck.. I'm gonna go on the 1st and see if there is already any new shops set up.

Variety is good. Alot of those meats taste good, but they are loaded with fat and sodium.

Shawarma and gyros are different.

but pretty close so the guy who sells gyros most likely sells shawarma too :winkwink:

I've had an Idea to bring to Street vending for a long time . it's nothing new just an old idea from an other country ..

If anyone is interested in hearing about this, hit me up ..

BTW I love Street meat !

Some of the best street food I ever got was in Oaxxaca and Mexico city

Shawarma are Middle Eastern and gyros are Greek.

Gyros are served in a Greek pita that is usually lightly oiled and fried. They are typically garnished with tomatoes, onions and tzatziki. The meat is usually pork or lamb.

A shawarma is served in a pocket pita and is usually garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickled turnips and hummus and/or garlic mayo. The meat is usually lamb, beef and lamb or chicken.

The meats for each are seasoned differently.

And no, you didn't say they were the same, but WG asked about shawarmas and you referred him to a gyros place.
