I remember when the Army sent me to Guatemala. As a part of our in-briefing we were told only Army provided food and beverages were authorized and if we dared eat or drink anything local, we would face disciplinary action.

Yes, because your gut bacteria is aligned with where you live. Of course the government doesn't want its pawns rolling the dice with their health. International athletes, teams in the World Cup specifically, often import their own food for this reason. It's not uncommon or weird.

So I've been to India, and you can get good food at a cheap price, just don't do literal street food. You can find traditional street food dishes in most restaurants too.

I travelled in India as well and eaten street food without a problem. Just watch how the food is prepared, gloves, sanitary conditions, etc. Obviously, these extreme examples in the video are beyond fail. Completely disgusting.
And BTW, there are parts of India that are completely pristine, with beautiful flowing streams and few people. Amazing beaches too and staying at posh hotels for very cheap.

I have spent a lot of time in India helping CBI on terrorism finance investigations. I have gone with many first timers and I tell them donn’t eat street food. They always do and always end up very sick.
People always want to be culturally heroic. 4 days on the toilet knocks that out of them.

u/StackOverflowEx 2d ago
I travel frequently. Mostly to central Asia. The one thing I learned on how to avoid "traveling sickness" is to just be careful about what you eat. If it can be peeled, cooked, or washed, it's safe. If it's served cold or room temperature, avoid it. If it was prepared by the street don't consume it. Filter any fresh water.

Well yes, travelling does open your mind, but a westerner used to clean conditions, would not eat street food like this unless they were suicidal. It would take a life time of stomach conditioning not to die from eating this stuff.

I would not even go there let alone eat that streetfood.
India is like a biological lab where they invent new diarea strains daily.
Iam married to a countryside raised, rice fed, rural trained, native chicken, filipina.
Me and our son learned early in what we sometimes call filipino bootcamp survival edition that if mum says " its still good you can eat that " we cant !!!
You need special genes to survive certain countries.

Here’s the thing: if their customers instantly fall sick, they’d be out of business in a short time. The fact is that the people around them have built up immunity to this.
But, if you’re a tourist, you’d be crazy to try it. Your gut has no resistance to the bacteria they have.

I just don't understand what's happening in these videos.. I'm half convinced they're fake. How can anyone think this is a good way of making food? I've seen plenty of comments from people who say they've seen this kind of stuff or worse. But how? Like how can this be okay and acceptable by the people making the food and also by the people eating this food? Is there no regulation, legal rules they have to follow in regards to food standards, hygiene, clean utensils and cooking surfaces? I've seen better food come out of tent cities, so don't try to tell me it's a "poor people" thing.
