Here are 4 iconic street foods with fascinating origins:Hot Dogs (USA): Started as German "frankfurters" sold by immigrants in 1870s NYC streets. Falafel (Middle East): Ancient Egyptian chickpea fritters, popularized by Yemenite Jews in the 1950s. Takoyaki (Japan): Invented in 1935 Osaka by vendor Tomekichi Endo as cheap Depression-era snack. Churros (Spain/Latin America): Born from Spanish shepherds using simple dough fried over fire; later sweetened in Mexico. https://www.seriouseats.com/history-of-hot-dogs https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20210913-falafel https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2045_takoyaki.html https://www.history.com/news/churros-origin-mexico-spain
