Dirty dishes are cleaned by letting the dogs lick off all the food particles.
Wiping them vigorously with a tissue before use doesn’t necessarily remove all the germs.

My old girlfriend used to leave food in pots she was going to finish in the morning out in the heat. Did not matter if it was food that was going to be reheated or not. If it were, well ok, at least you reheat it, but not every time.
The things that amazed me about this was that we had a brand new fridge.

Re: 72 People Get Food Poisoning at Funeral Ceremony
I just got over the worst vomiting of my life - explosive, across the room, everything came out down to my large intestine and finally a pure yellow bile one for good measure. My ribs hurt for two days from it. Probably the Norovirus. Never trust the food here, or ice....the beer's okay so far.

I've stayed in many rural villages over the years and don't remember ever seeing anyone let a dog lick or use their tableware -newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 10:25 pm I always get a little sick from the food when I stay in the province. Missus, too.

If anything they'll just chuck all the scraps into the dog's bowl in the yard. The dogs wouldn't be in the same space people eat in.
Somehow I rarely ever get sick from food wherever I am. I quickly get bored of the food available in the sticks but I can stomach it if I have to.
Even if hygiene standards aren't always up to western standards here nobody wants their customers to get sick so they take enough care.
I don't eat a lot of street food but I don't see the issue with it. It's just food that's sold outside. Some of it is not too appetizing to me
but there are places that sell tasty stuff too. There are all sorts of great tuk-a-lok stands, places that do roast fish, noodle soup places,
mobile hawkers selling steamed buns, steamed eggs and shellfish, mam sellers, cane-juice stalls etc. It would be a shame to miss them.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I ate cheap street food once a day for 10 years in Indonesia, central Java. No problem.
I ate street food in PP a few times over 3 years, was sick twice.
I assume the situation is worse here, beetween hygiene, greed and logic. Confirmed on other subjects like healthcare, security at work, and else....
