What kind of street food is available in your city or area?- |

Although our country is a middle-income country, there are many low-income people in the country. At the same time, since our country is a densely populated country, it has not been possible to provide employment for everyone. Therefore, low-income people earn their living by doing various businesses with small capital on their own initiative. They usually sell various items with a van, a basket, etc. The most popular foods that I see being sold on the roadside are nuts, jhal muri, chatpati fuska, and seasonal fruits. They usually sit in front of schools and colleges, in neighborhoods, in walking markets, on the banks of rivers, at bus stations, and launch terminals, and sell their items.
Fuska shop
You won't find a place in Bangladesh where street food is not available. This food is very easy to find.
Millions of people make a living by selling different types of food on the roadside every day.
These people selling on the roadside are people we know. They live in our neighborhood, some of them are our relatives and friends. There may be questions about how healthy their food is, but the food they prepare is delicious. That's why their shops are always crowded and the sales are also quite good.
I have presented some pictures of vendors selling on the roadside below.

I have already said that we eat foods sold on the roadside almost all the time. There is no specific time to eat the foods, I want to eat them as soon as I see them in front of my eyes.. But I like to eat Fuska the most. Fuska is a delicious and tasty food. It is made with a mixture of gugni inside the fuska, along with tamarind juice and a little layer of egg, then my tongue starts watering just seeing it being made. I often eat Fuska as an afternoon snack.
Ghugni- Main materials of Fuska
Method of making Fuska: -
The fuska available in the roadside shops is usually brought from home after boiling the ghugni specified for the fuska. The fuska is bought from the market. When the customer orders the fuska, all the mixtures are served together.
Today I go to the Fuska shop, I order a plate of Fuska. He takes a plate and has 10 Fuska plates. He mixes boiled ghugni with green chilies, onions, coriander leaves, chili powder and other ingredients and fills everything in the Fuska. Then he chops some eggs and sprinkles them on the Fuska.

He puts some tomato sauce on it. He also puts tamarind juice on a separate plate. The tasty Fuska mixes with the juice as soon as you put it in your mouth. Along with that, you can get a taste of satisfaction.

What did you learn about the shopkeeper's struggle?- |
|---|
I know the shopkeeper (Mansur) personally, not only that, I also know his father. Mansur's father originally started the business of selling fuska and chatpati. He sold fuska in Tupri in front of a school in the area. Mansur is an educated boy; he studied till SSC and started taking responsibility for the family. Because when his father fell ill, the family became dysfunctional. He was forced to abandon his studies and start taking responsibility for the family, and he no longer thought about making a living. He sits at home all day and makes all the ingredients for fuska and chatpati, then sells them from 5.00 to 11.00 pm and runs the family.
Mansur is leading a great life of struggle. We have a lot to learn from him. Even though he was educated, he never suffered from an ego. Rather, he took responsibility for the family. We should appreciate any work with honesty when the time demands it. Rise above ego and take responsibility for the family.
What do you think about the importance of this small street food business in our society?- |
|---|
There are many healthy food shops in our society. But everyone can't eat from those shops all the time. Because financial stability is not always the same. But we have to eat. The roadside shops provide a solution to that problem.
Besides, we live in a densely populated country. Here, it is not possible to arrange jobs for everyone. Again, the problem of capital that will do good business is only for them. At one time, they become completely unemployed. They suffer from various self-deprecations, many times they get involved in criminal activities, and become addicted to drugs. But this policy of independent business with little capital has been able to eliminate our unemployment. It has removed the young generation from criminal activities and taught them to take responsibility for the family.
Therefore, we must look at this type of profession with respect. We must evaluate them. We must adopt them. Because they are a part of us, our society and environment are with them. That is why in society,
