'The Freedom Of Choice'
I remember, years ago when the ghost of socialism was still walking the Earth, one could choose only a few local traditional foods from a few existing street food vendors. They thought us that good citizen never looks up to others but loves his/her own food/country/etc. With the fall of socialism, we've gained a variety of choices. Lots of food from all over the world is sold on the streets today. The consumer society and globalization go hand in hand when it comes to satisfying people's tastes.
Let's see. Will it be something sweet? Local or foreign? Asian or Middle-Eastern? The abundance of choice and a whole spectrum of different foods is what makes a decision harder.
Let's have a wok. Didn't eat one in quite some time. I like Asian kitchen. They have a very different approach to cooking.
Or maybe a slice of a local speciality, soparnik? Uh, this is seriously overpriced.
I know I'll end with trdelnik, an Eastern European sweet baked on open fire.
Well, there we go. Nowadays, there is at least some degree to which we can exercise our freedom of choice. One still cannot really choose the government or actually influence any of the decisions they're making for us but one can surely make an educated choice of food. Isn't democracy a fairytale? :-)
Enjoy your day! :-)

Instead of being free to escape or avoid lies. But if we transgress or exceed the limits of freedom itself will only cause problems and problems that begin from our mistakes to determine the choice of action or attitude to a problem.thanks to sharing for your good post..my dear friend.. @velimir take care yourself and best of luck of your great work
Ahahahahaha. If Democracy isn't a fairy tale it's at least 'historical fiction'.
I just love those kinds of food choices. June brings festival season to the US. Every little berg in the US has a community fest and the big dog cooks come out in force to try to outdo their neighbors. Most usually there is some food that will just amaze me. Perfect time for a motorcycle riding fat boy!
Thanks for sharing the goodies. Makes me ready for the summer.
You are right.
Because free man is able to develop his thinking to do something, but there are people who do things freely without taking into account the freedom of others. This means Freedom itself is limited. For example we want to be free to determine who becomes our life companion later but not freedom that is limited by the criteria in accordance with our eligibility standards.
So freedom gives birth to choices. When people are faced with choices, then of course our space of thought is limited to the choice of choice, of course, by rationalizing the consequences of those choices. Then where is that freedom? So what if we are wrong in determining the choice.
Instead of being free to escape or avoid lies. But if we transgress or exceed the limits of freedom itself will only cause problems and problems that begin from our mistakes to determine the choice of action or attitude to a problem.
Want to Be Healthier, Be Better or Prettier, Richer, Better / Better, Better, Safer Position, That's The First Reason For Freedom. But in man, this becomes an eternal struggle between conscience which is aided by logic with lust. When our target is to avoid the problem of life then there is no other choice is to do the things that will lead us to be free from that problem.
You're right, in the days of socialism, people had little choice of products. Especially there were few street vendors of food, and those who did monotonous dishes. At least it was here.
Now we have a wide variety of delicious dishes. Modern people can buy themselves a variety of ingredients and make delicious dishes. There is also an opportunity to go to a restaurant or a cafe and buy yourself a delicious dish. There are some themed cafes that make dishes of foreign cuisines. I know restaurants that make only Chinese dishes or Italian. But this is only in large cities.
I love variety in food. That is, it happens that we prepare dishes of national cuisine, and sometimes there is a time when you just want to eat pizza. I also like to visit various festivals, and there are usually a lot of sellers going. You can often try various delicious dishes that people have come up with themselves. It is interesting.
Choose your own food, this is not one of the many freedoms that we have :)
Thank you
@velimir sir you are again with a beautiful post about freedom of choice what is freedon of choice is that we are free to choose what we want to do, what we want to achieve in our life, no one will interfere in your life, that is called freedom of choice. No one is here to tell us what to do and what not to do, we are free in making our decision, would interfere. how beautifully this woman has arranged everything, I am in love with her art and her artistic mind, she is a hard worker and we can assume that very very thankyou @velimir sir for making us smile today, God bless you.

Very interesting post. Right time right work is perfect.
Hola @velimir
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo amigo.
En mí país en estos momentos tienden a desaparecer las franquicias y la buena comida por culpa de un burro que tenemos de Presidende que se llama Nicolás Maduro, alias EL BURRO.
La comida está escaseando y el pueblo ya empezo a comer basura de verdad.
Aquí una muestra.
Saludos y Gracias por el artículo.
Buen post y muy interesante, Se ve que sirven calidad de comida, siempre digo que no debe faltar el alimento en la mesa de nadie y menos por causa de un socialismo. Las fotos muestran una sabrosa y deliciosa, gracias por compartir velimir.
