Your author remembers when street food used to be just food, but like pop-ups and flashmobs suddenly something that has been happening for centuries is a new thing, and today and all weekend there is even a festival of it, the Real Street Food Festival on at the Southbank Centre.
Nevertheless, these things are good fun. Visitors get to eat nice food, the stallholders make some money and some money goes to the arts, so there are really winners throughout, unless you don't like spending too much on food. In which case, don't go.
