'''[[Chouta]]''' is a street food from [[Herdaz]] on [[Roshar]]. It consists of fried flatbread wrapped tightly around fried meat and sauce,{{book ref|sa2|46}} and can be carried in one hand and eaten while doing other things.{{book ref|sa2|18}} 

== Ingredients ==
The flatbread used in chouta is very thick.{{book ref|sa2|18}} The meat often used in the warcamps is [[flangria]], which is mixed with ground [[lavis]], formed into small balls, battered and fried.{{book ref|sa2|46}} The meatballs are then stuffed into the fried bread and covered with a generous amount of dark gravy.{{book ref|sa2|18}}{{book ref|sa2|46}} The chouta stands in [[Dalinar]]'s warcamp also sell a variety that is stuffed with fried [[cremling]] claws instead of meatballs,{{book ref|sa2|46}} and there may be other variations.{{book ref|sa3|74}} Chouta is flavorful, but not spicy.{{book ref|sa3|46}}

== History ==
[[Lopen]] introduced [[Bridge Four]] to chouta. [[Kaladin]] initially thinks it looks disgusting,{{book ref|sa2|18}} but [[Sigzil]] and [[Rock]] try it and enjoy it.{{book ref|sa2|46}} Kaladin eventually breaks down and buys some chouta from a street vendor; he is annoyed to discover that he actually likes it.{{book ref|sa2|81}} The love of chouta spreads throughout Bridge Four, and [[Teft]], [[Skar]], [[Leyten]], and [[Drehy]] are all later seen eating it.{{book ref|sa3|46}}{{book ref|sa3|73}} 

Chouta is sold at a tavern in [[Kholinar]] visited by [[Hoid]] and [[Shallan]].{{book ref|sa3|68}}

==Trivia==
*[[Brandon Sanderson]] has noted that chouta are not inspired by burritos and are closer to "deep-fried meatballs in a [[wikipedia:sopaipilla|sopaipilla]]".{{wob ref|8883}}{{wob ref|2854}} Brandon is fascinated by the rapid development of portable street food during the industrial revolution, and devised chouta to reflect this concept.{{wob ref|8883}}
