Street food is very common in Bari to serve all passers-by who wish to have a quick meal after a long day, working hard. A woman in a square in the center of Old Bari is running her home kitchen in the street.

She was frying slices of fresh Polenta in rectangular shapes (Sgagliozze). The crispy pieces cost only €1 for six of them. She prepared ear-shaped Orecchitte from fresh pasta. She pickled into dough what was made from Semolina flour, salt and water, making rolls of pasta. Then, she rolled them over a wooden board to create Orechitte with her thumb in a speedy process. There were hundreds of dried ones in a metal grill in her stall ready to be cooked. She put them in boiled water and added some vegetables, tomatoes, garlic and olive oil to cook a tasty and inexpensive food.
