Not all great meals come from restaurants. Some are served from carts and stalls and eaten on the go. So-called street food is not only delicious, but can be found in nearly every country, rich or poor. "It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place," says the Italian writer, who has nibbled her way around the globe. She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places.
Naples, Italy ：Pizza
Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food, but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples. The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers. If you're eating it on the go, you fold it up for pizza, literally wallet style. "Our pizza is quick and simple," she says.
披薩可能是最接近全球食品的了，但迪亞曼蒂說沒有哪是像那不勒斯那樣制作的。食物往往是從一個窗口柜臺訂購，并很快為顧客烘烤好。如果你在路上吃，你把它折疊起來，表面上看就像一個錢包。“我們的披薩餅是快速簡單，”她說。
New York ：Hot dogs
When foreigners first visit America, one of the first things many want to try is the country's quintessential snack food, the hot dog. "It's the flag for America" — both inexpensive and democratic, Diamanti says. "You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall, but it's executives. People with ties and suits."
當外國人第一次來到美國，第一件事情就是想試一下這個國家典型的休閑食品，熱狗。 “這是美國的標志”——既便宜又民主，迪亞曼蒂說。 “你希望看到孩子們在一個熱狗窗口排著隊，但全是管理層。那些穿著西裝打著領帶的人。”
Japan：Bento boxes
Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring. Bento boxes are divided into small compartments, each filled with a different dish: often fish, meat, pickled vegetables, rice or tofu. "It's really just a taste," she says.
迪亞曼蒂說，吃這種便攜式日本料理的最佳時間和地點是在春天盛開的櫻花樹下。飯盒被劃分成小隔間，每一隔離裝滿了不同的菜：通常是魚、肉、腌制蔬菜、米飯或豆腐。 “這真的只是一種味道，”她說。
Jemaa el Fna Square, Marrakech, Morocco：Food stalls
When the sun begins to set, this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing, dance — and eat. Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat, chicken and rice, and the traditional tagine, a spicy Moroccan stew made with fruit, vegetables and meat. "There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time," Diamanti says.
摩洛哥馬拉喀什的Jemaa el Fna廣場：食品攤位
當太陽升起，隨著人群聚集到一起唱歌、跳舞以及吃東西時，這個中心廣場就開始生氣勃勃了。上百個攤位提供烤肉、雞肉和米飯，以及傳統(tǒng)的tagine，一種辛辣的摩洛哥燉水果、蔬菜和肉類。 “由于數(shù)百人同時做飯有大量的煙霧，”迪亞曼蒂說。
Morelia, Mexico：Day of the Dead candies
When Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead in November, crowds gather to remember lost family and friends. And then they eat. The colonial city of Morelia specializes indulces de muertos, candies of the dead, including skulls made with sugar and chocolate, and borrachitos, sweets filled with liquor. "It's a festival of joy," Diamanti says.
在墨西哥11月慶祝死亡的日子里，人群聚集到一起懷念逝去的家人和朋友。然后他們吃東西。莫雷利亞這個殖民城市，專制muertos，即死亡糖果，用頭骨、糖和巧克力制成，以及borrachitos，里面裝滿酒的糖果。“這是一個歡樂的節(jié)日”，迪亞曼蒂說。
Jordan：Coffee
Diamanti spent 15 years working with travel companies in Jordan, and grew to love the coffee, which is mixed with cardamom and has a bitter taste. In the desert, it's served by Bedouins, and considered a symbol of hospitality. "It's offered in small cups without handles," she says. Traditionally, travelers are served three cups. If a fourth is offered, just shake your cup side to side to indicate you've had your fill, she says.
迪亞曼蒂在約旦的旅行公司工作了15年，從小就愛咖啡，這混合著小豆蔻且有一點苦味。在沙漠中，它由貝都因人提供，并被認為是一種熱情好客的象征。 “這是用無柄小杯盛著，”她說。傳統(tǒng)上，會給游客提供三杯。她說，如果再給你第四杯，只要從一側到另一側搖搖你的杯子以暗示你夠了。
Turin, Italy：Aperitifs
This northern Italian city developed vermouth, a fortified wine mixed with spices, and today it's a favorite aperitif. Crowds fill downtown bars before dinner and overflow into the streets. "You take your drink and snack and you go out and chat with friends," Diamanti says.
這個意大利北部城市盛產苦艾酒，和香料混合的一種強勁酒，現(xiàn)在它是最受歡迎的開胃酒。晚飯前人群聚集到市中心的酒吧，然后涌到街上。“你拿著你的小酒和零食，出去和朋友聊天，”迪亞曼蒂說。
France：Crepes
These delicate filled pancakes originated in Brittany, but are now found across France, and beyond. They're prepared on the street and are popular with workers and tourists alike. Diamanti likes the sweet variety, sometimes filled with Nutella, jam or bananas and chocolate with cream.
這種薄餅起源于布列塔尼，但現(xiàn)在法國境內外隨處可見。他們在大街上制作，在工人和游客之中很受歡迎。迪亞曼蒂喜歡甜的那種，有時涂著花生醬、果醬或香蕉、巧克力和奶油。
Philadelphia：Soft pretzels
The doughy pretzel has come a long way, Diamanti says. It arrived with immigrants from Central Europe and now is a ubiquitous snack on some city streets. While many people slather it with yellow mustard, she says she likes her plain. "In several Middle Eastern countries, I've found the same kind of bread, the same shape."
面團餅已經存在很久了，迪亞曼蒂說。它隨著中歐移民到來，現(xiàn)在是一些城市的街頭無處不在的小吃。雖然很多人在上面涂滿了黃芥末，她說她喜歡原味的。“在一些中東國家，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了同樣種類的面包，同樣的形狀。”
Quebec：Maple taffy
This seasonal treat is made by boiling maple sap and then quickly hardening it on snow or ice. It then is eaten on a stick or fork. The treat can be purchased from sugar shacks near Montreal and in the Laurentian Mountains.
這是由季節(jié)性食品是由沸騰的楓樹液，然后迅速雪地或冰里凝固。然后，在棍子或者叉上吃。這種零食就可以從蒙特利爾和勞倫山脈附近的糖窩棚里買到。
