Hello, Indian person here, I had this video recommended on youtube page, thanks for the great video. So as an Indian, I would like to educate everyone on what to do and what not to do primarily when it comes to food and getting sick I know that indian street food is really tasty, and certainly I would want everyone to try it out, but here are some things you should keep in mind for safer food experience when eating street food: 1. Avoid watery colder things: while Ice cream and kulfi should for the most part be alright, avoid things like jaljeera, thandai, lassi and gol-gappa/pani-puri from street vendors. The issue is with the ice, you can never know for sure what water was used to create the ice, and transportation methods used to transport it. ice creams and kulfi dont usually come into contact with ice, but be vigilant 2. Avoid street chutnies: I know that chutneys are what make or break a dish, but chutnies are also stored in a warm environment for very long and some also might come in contact with ice, so with a heavy heart I say, avoid chutnies 3. Hot food will most likely be fine: As heating food kills of the pathogens, hot food should for the most part be alright 4. (MOST IMPORTANT) CROWD: For the most part, if you see a street vendor with a lot of people around them, there food should be alright to eat. the turnover rate of food is what determines whats hygenic and whats not. A poor person who doesn't get a lot of sales finds it difficult to maintain hygenic standard especially considering they dont always have the machinery to store the food hygenically at the end of the day, so they might be selling stale food. the place where sales are high, dont have to worry about that. So, if you see a long line of indians in front of a store it should for the most part be safe to eat there 5. But I want to eat pain puri and drink authentic lassi, what should I do then: there are places that have sprung everywhere in India where you can get authentic street foods which are hygenically made, although you might be sacrificing on like 15% of flavour you can ensure 99% more hygiene, and I personally believe its worth it. In the north, where I'm from you have places like haldiram, bikanerwaala, and om sweets. While these are the 3 I know of, if you do research, you will be able to find more. If you ever plan to visit India, just keep these in your mind, that way you should not get sick If someone here could translate this into Japanese, it would be able to reach more people Thanks
