[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've spent years in Delhi and months at a time in Peru and I've only gotten a stomach bug once, in Mumbai, and it really wasn't that bad - no vomiting, just some trouble with digestion. In fact, I think the only time I got proper food poisoning was at Yosemite National Park back in the 90s -- so, there you go.

That said, there's a reason so many Indians AND Peruvians think home-cooked food is healthiest, and will scold you for eating too much at restaurants.[/quote]
[b]What do the restaurant workers do differently at work than when they're at home? This makes no sense. [/b]

I haven't been myself, but the folks I know who have been to Peru, got sick as a dog while there. One guy passed da fuq out and barely remembers anything. He said the locals made him drink some kind of tea concoction to get better. That's intense.[/quote]
Um, even in the US you might be a little appalled at food prep standards at restaurants vs. home.  This is well-documented.  There are many people who would never touch a salad in a restaurant for this reason.

But yes, we rarely eat at restaurants when I'm in India fo rthis reason.  And when we do, I'm pretty strict about not touching anything uncooked.[/quote]
