Street Food

If you walk the streets of Belfast in the early hours of the morning you will see two things, containers of take out food that look untouched and a few steps further....piles of vomit.

And I'm not talking about seeing these once in a while, every single time I go out I see little boxes of fish & chips or Turkish kebabs just sitting on a ledge in perfect order with just one bite missing. I could start a whole blog with just photos of uneaten food on the streets.

I assume what is happening is a collage student is on his way home from a party, sees a restaurant and thinks "I'm hungry, a kebab would sure hit the spot." So he goes in, manages to order, walks for a bit and decides to take one bite but as soon as that bite hits his stomach he says "Oh man...what was I thinking! I'm going to be sick!" He sets his food down and runs for it and ends up vomiting all over the sidewalk.

All the wasted food bothers me, I should start going out at night to follow drunk people around so I can collect their uneaten food. :-)

The above photo was taken this morning just a few steps down from our front door.
