What's wrong with street food?
Re: What's wrong with street food?
When I lived in Chinatown in NYC, I giggled to myself as I entered Chinese resteraunts, all sparkly and clean inside. Thats becasue I used to pass the opened basement doors and see the staff doing food prep ankle deep in water. Got the squirts more than once.eriksank wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2017 6:28 pmIn terms of hygiene, visibility is important. Everybody can see how the stalls handle your food.
That is way less the case in hotels and restaurants where you may not see what is going on in the kitchen. If you cannot see what they are doing in the kitchen, you should imagine the worst. Murphy's law pretty much guarantees that the worst is exactly what they are doing over there.
In that sense, I reasonably assume that street food is more hygienic than food that comes out of a restaurant kitchen hidden from sight.
I like seeing my food cooked right there thank you.

Re: What's wrong with street food?
I remember the last Chinese restaurant I went to in the U.S., one of the workers was sitting at one of the dining tables with a big pile of rancid looking ground meat in a mound (no cutting board of bowl to hold it) and wrapping eggrolls with her barehands, no hair net, nothing.
I didn't order eggrolls.

You are welcome to visit any of our kitchens any timeeriksank wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2017 7:58 pmSomeone would still need to inspect these kitchens for their effective use of HACCP. Otherwise, you would "trust" the staff in these kitchens for doing so, and then the system would not be trustless. The practice of doing inspections, just moves the Byzantine Generals' problem to the inspectors. The resulting system would still not be trustless; while a system that is not provably trustless can fundamentally not be trusted. In and of itself HACCP does not address the core issue, while inspection by the customers themselves, some of whom may be trained in HACCP, does effectively address the issue. I only trust properly-constructed peer-to-peer systems. Centralized systems will only end up exacerbating things.

Squits? Like Hershey COLOURED and burning like PETROL, especially when I am in the THEATRE with a lovely BINT after drinking a PINT. Makes me want to WHING. I feel better when I stroke a MOGGY in my FLAT, which has its own LOO.
Got to call my MUM, bye. Even us YANK CUNTS can do Britspeak if we try. CHEERS MATE

Re: What's wrong with street food?
i like the crispy pork crackling.
ban chao is good too
always wondered about the little red chinese bbq pigs
i used to like the steamed pork dumplings until my gf said it was rat meat
heng heng oyster on 51 is great for steamed seafood bbq oyster etc
when i first came to Cambodia it was common to see calves being roasted whole on spits on the road into town,
fellas at the pagodas claimed it was shameful but i bet they just do it out of sight.
