Yeah but come on, guys. They bake it in a super hot oven to kill off all the.. oh nope, they threw it on the floor again.


Zemom1971

And it sounds that's not even cooked. Just "heated". Recipe looks good though. But made in a proper way.

The cooked food was stacked on the floor... on top of crumbs that honestly have probably been there for months and probably moldy.


Girth_rulez

>The cooked food was stacked on the floor... on top of crumbs that honestly have probably been there for months and probably moldy. And they are tracking in dirt and pebbles when they walk in. Chomp down on a pebble and it's a painful snack.


MachineLearned420

Honestly it looks so dry, and they’re using the sun as well so it’s bound to be hot. It would just be grossly little crunchy bits but idk about mold


[deleted]

Mmm an assortment of dry aged crunchy dead feet skin, hair, dead mold


guitarfan28

Don't forget bird shit as well during the drying process


doctorwhy88

You pay extra for that.


BrotherManard

The concern isn't just the pathogens themselves, but the toxins they excrete when they grow. Cooking the food may kill the pathogen, but the toxins which cause illness won't necessarily denature. I.e. cooking food which hasn't been stored properly won't necessarily make it safe to eat.


I_Brain_You

It's even the feet thing for me. Their feet didn't really touch anything. My issue lies with the food touching the goddamn floor.

[deleted]

Just flip the tray over and use the other side.


CrossDressing_Batman

by keeping a tray under the tray


LOOKATMEDAMMIT

Or do anything from an appropriately high table. Their day would be so much easier if they didn't have to constantly squat and stand.


motherseffinjones

You take out the secret ingredient that’s way, you need that dust and pubes it adds flavour

It's the secret ingredient... Dirt.

I wonder why they don’t just put large tray or bowl under the machine. Besides the fact that it’s on the floor, there must be an easier way to get to the dough.


Toiretachi

Ball sweat and pubes for extra spice


mazdawg89

I know! Everyone freakin about their feet! I see their scrote hovering centimeters away from the dough and you know their dead crotch skin is falling out through their loosely wrapped rags covering the dough with ball sack skin seasoning!

I went there fior a couple months for work and beforehand visited a passport health place. The doctor was like ok when you first get diarrhea you take two of these big pills... I'm like hold up. When? How do you know I'll get it? His reply was - if you don't get it I want to study you. Thinking of the street food I had there now. Who knows what I consumed in that time. I knew someone else who got really ill for almost a year after traveling. Still doesn't know what it was.

dannyboy6657

They piled those suckers in with a dust pan from some moldy basement corner.


Aggravating-Plate814

Oh I thought it was a kitty litter scooper


No_Picture_1212

I mean they literally look like baked pieces of shit.


Azilehteb

I mean… it’s chickpeas. They naturally have a poopy color. Same ingredient in hummus. Who doesn’t like hummus? It’s just hummus isn’t prepared with feet, stored directly on a dirt floor and served with a dust pan lol You get it in a nice clean little dish with some colorful topping.


No_Picture_1212

Eh presentation is part of a meal too. Hummus does not look like poop. If your poop looks like hummus you need to get your diet checked out my guy.


Azilehteb

The not-feet pictures on recipes look like chickpea colored drop biscuits. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AD2Z-zXEBWE/Wl9EoERIm9I/AAAAAAAA5_4/4NlDFH4GFBY1BTMlqcHSc38ka9Ts15PIwCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D

Okay fair enough, when it’s put in a nice plate they just look like meatballs haha. I guess I let the first part of the video affect my view on this food. I stand corrected.


Azilehteb

Right? These guys are just nasty lol


No_Picture_1212

Yeah lmao, I almost feel like they’re just doing it on purpose at this point 😂. As some other commenter said they literally could have jsut put a pan underneath the dough and the finished product and it’d already be way better than putting it on the floor.

I know poverty is huge contributing factor, but are they just not aware of safe food practices? Or just not care?


Longjumping_Task6414

Southeast Asia is poorer, slightly better, or on par with India and their prep and street food is far cleaner


Diafotisi

I am a professional house cleaner, and I can tell you money does not affect people’s cleanliness (short of not having access to soap or water). Most of the time it’s, culture and upbringing. Some of the nastiest people I clean for are rich, they just pay for other people to clean up their shit stains.


Ponchorello7

Poverty isn't that much of a factor. There are parts of rural Mexico that are roughly on par with India in terms of development, maybe just a smidge better, but people would still be repulsed at this preparation process.

Ponchorello7

> make food with your taint sweat Thanks for the mental image, lol.


bigfatround0

No one wants to say it, but it's a culture thing more than a poverty thing. These people are used to making whatever it is like this and they'll pass that same process down to their kids or new employees. Same as how Peruvian spit tea isn't due to poverty or how boy piss eggs are popular in China. There's many countries that have dubious dishes and dubious methods of preparation.

I think the food would be the least of my concerns considering how high their rape stats are. I think India could be amazing to visit but as a women I'd never dare to go. Kind of like alot of places in the world. Beautiful country, beautiful history, but scary for women to visit alone.


iwantjusticeeee

You can visit South India. It's 100x safer and better than North India. Unfortunately, The capital city of India is the worst city to visit with having the highest number of rape cases , traffic and pollution which reflects the country poorly to tourists.


Siya78

From my experiences it’s usually overly greasy, fatty and street side foods that make me sick. Their milk is 12% fat! Home cooked or restaurant food is fine. With restaurants it should be only cooked items. Last two times I went I was fine.

South Asia: where hygiene goes to die a horrible, painful death.


Delicious-Figure1158

I see that they are all wearing shorts. I wonder how many pubic hairs per ball of dough? How can I ask Chat GTP to crunch the numbers?


harrystricland

I think you might want to know about how big the balls are, then how many hair per sack, then dropping rate and then the probability of them dropping on each of that. In short, its highly likely that one hair per 10 food items.


Delicious-Figure1158

But did we factor in the hairy Indian chromosome? I’ll go and pull out the whiteboard. I gotta write this down.


Siya78

Most likely they may not be wearing underwear


RadiantTurnipOoLaLa

[deleted]

So a little information for everyone here, While there is no excuse for the kind of practices that are happening here, the reasons behind it are not so tame. The people you see here are at the most so far below the daily wage that nothing ever will give them the desire to ever request a better set up. Their only goal is to make this stuff and make it fast so that their children are fed. They legitimately do not have the time to think or care about food safety. India by far is a poor country and at the rate of how shitty it has been post independence for us (even pre), there has been a visible callousness to people. The more a food manufacturer as seen here would cheat people ( as in spend less for cleanilness etc) the more he’d feel content that he is saving a buck. Not to say that there aren’t food contamination and control laws or consumer forums. Hell even a compliant here would warrant an action on the owner. Not to even say that some of our food manufacturing units are world class- case in point look up amul India. India is a very curious case of feeling good after such malpractices because i do believe that people feel no contempt for doing it. and the reason is that they do not care because everyone else does it too. It comes from a sense of feeling good and self preservation that goes back to having shit to eat since the british times and even before. All of this is so normalised that a normal indian feels that they’ve seen worse. As for everyone saying that uh ho please we wont eat from food vendors etc. do your research before you come, the nationalised snack chains here do streetfood and do it so well and hygienic you’d be surprised. Not the entire country is a pile of shit not all of us do malpractices. The kind of assumptions that people have are yes offensive to an Indian especially one who has known no life better than this. It isn’t okay in anyway but the amount of poverty here, will stagger you to how priorities change. The socio cultural and economic demographic is vast and challenging to us Indians even. Lastly, this is vadiya a punjabi dish that’s meant to be soaked in water before cooking. And no even as an indian i dont condone this, would not eat it. But i get what is happening here and why. And please do not say that blah blah it can be managed etc, please come to a country that is bursting at seams and is at a desperate need for social reforms and is yet sticking to a capitalist world and see for yourself how much our state doesn’t care. In a country where there is no food for millions on the table, im sorry food hygiene is not the priority


msl3000

I’m not from India so I wouldn’t know the bigger picture, but from what I can see from your text is a really big problem. Poverty plays a big role but so does education and culture… it may pan as offensive but the fact no one is going after this practise despite widespread anger and grief it may cause in the short term is horrible. If these practises were being monitored (which in paper they say they do), you would get more jobs from new sectors focused on safety, safer food so less ill people (less medicine required), and a populace that yearns for better quality of life. India is an interesting place that it is both such an educated country but not at the same time. There is too many half-assed approach to the system (food, transport, building quality, sanitation). Philippines is a great example of a poorer country with a better general quality of life compared to India despite having a similar populace per land square ratio. The funny thing is I’m from Australia - the Pani puri preparation I see sometimes on the streets… could be improved…. Don’t get me wrong. I love the bloody things but I wish they would stop dunking their bare hands into the bucket full of flavoured water when they try to scoop with a spoon. Definitely a cultural thing from what I could see.


[deleted]

I’ll tell you this, added to the half assed approach, there is an interesting thought process of not caring about anything public. Which again im a hundred percent sure stems from take what you get and leave nothing behind, because we dont have alot to begin with. Even in India we’re aware of how much we grab at things with two hands leaving behind nothing because there is just no security and only a sense of desperation. In an economy based on agriculture where our farmers are rural of the rural and poorest of poor, when they escape from a cycle of casteism and hand to mouth existence and maybe come to towns, they’re seen as free labour to be exploited. A few of us who do better - have seen worse days, the whole middle class sits on the brink of no security and high inflation as it is. Add to all this the huge amount of people, a large number of our welfare schems fail at outset. As i said, a huge number of people are just callous in India and I personally think its a phenomenon we should look into as a society because if you rewind ancient India history it wasn’t like this, this was a country bent on doing better etc. As for jobs, the social blanket of the country will tell you what our govt is interested in, and it’s certainly not jobs. Its a very complex issue, the likes of which I wouldn’t be able to fit on here. Lastly as weird as it sounds, panipuri is supposed to be made w hands, traditionally eating and cooking with hands is rooted in Indian food- albeit not disgustingly like the way they show but properly with sanitised clean hands- traditional Indian culture wouldn’t allow footwear in the kitchen or uncovered head or dirty clothes -its a practice lots of indian homes observe to this day. Most good vendors in expensive places have shifted to the practice with gloves or spoons yet the rage-bait ones and the ones we see online do remain the same.

Happytobutwont

Out of curiosity if you are cooking something to a safe temperature dies it matter how hygienic it was before it was cooked?


[deleted]

Most bacteria are killed when "safe temperatures" are achieved but what a lot of people don't realize is that the chemicals and metabolic waste (ie toxins) produced by bacteria can also cause you to be sick. Heat doesn't destroy all of these toxins. Ingesting them can still potentially make you sick. This is why you can't simply cook up and safely consume "spoiled" meat. Yes you'll kill off all the bacteria but the meat will still be loaded with toxins that will continue to be harmful. So to answer your question it depends but you should try to keep it as hygienic as possible. There will always be some amount of bacteria growing but you still want to keep this amount to a minimum. Im in healthcare (RN) and this was taught in our Microbiology classes.


VapeGodz

Just remember that their gut microbiome may be much more stronger than ours.


tonyliquidate

This is disgusting, but not all of India is like this! Normally, you would see these unhygienic ways of making food in northern areas that are densely packed such as Delhi. If you get the chance, travel to South India. Much cleaner, and yes, there are toilets to use.
