Depending where you live, you can buy refrigerated butchered meat just like in the UK. In more rural areas you are more likely to have a live chicken freshly butchered for a meal.

Ive visited India about 10 times.
I can only recall getting food poisoning once and it certainly wasn't from eating rotten meat!

I meant buying them from a **** shop in Bradford. Everything was rancid.

Weird, I once asked a load of waiters and taxi drivers lining up in a local Indian restaurant if they ate the same stuff as what my mates were eating and the reply was that the hot curries were for Westerners to try and outdo each other, they had less spicier stuff or even fish & chips.

Obviously you should have raged at them for their heinous cultural appropriation!

People have been copying stuff from other cultures for as long as anyone can tell, often putting their own spin on it. Probably from long before homo sapiens existed. I expect groups of homo erectus did it. We have evidence of it happening at least as far back as homo neanderthalensis. It's entirely reasonable behaviour. Especially when it comes to food. A lot of the foodstuff eaten in various places originally came from somewhere else.

Well that's literally how my parents food always was.

'Vegetables are too sweet when fresh, you have to leave them out a few days first'.

They cook them after they lose all their natural flavour and have started going off.

A few times I would hurl right after eating what my mum made. My brother would return from work a few hours later, eat it after its been sat out during that time and hurl for days.

Is it possible your parents just didn’t like you?

Sorry. Authentic Indian food doesn't have expiration dates.

Take my father buying rancid mangos covered in black pits from an Asian fruit and veg shop, and then when going back to complain being told 'Well they don't have expiration dates in India'.

They simply use any meat or veg whether it is fresh or rancid and simply don't care about food hygiene at all. There are zero food hygiene standards in Indian food compared to the West.

Food is simply never thrown away when it 'expires' by British standards in Indian food, it simply carries on being used with zero care about its safety. Unfortunately this is also the norm among first generation migrants from such countries with zero food hygiene standards.

This trend does not continue among Indian or any other such people that are raised and educated in the UK, by which point their food essentially becomes 'British', and cooked to western food hygiene standards as opposed to however it is made in any such countries with zero standards.

What utter ******** :s

I've grown up in India and only moved to the UK when I was about 17. Food is thrown away all the time if it goes bad! True that veg doesn't have set 'expiration dates' often, because it's bought from local vendors selling you the veg, rather than going to a supermarket for it. People tend to a) buy stuff which is fine; and b) know when it's gone off generally. Supermarkets in the UK are starting to try the same, to avoid the huge food wastage that is occuring because of people blindly following expiration dates.

But do you honestly think that any restaurant would survive if they were serving food that made people sick?!

Personally I think the issue is poor sanitation ie **** toilets (excuse the pun!)
They're have been several memorable occasions when I been travelling around India when I have had to use a toilet that had:
a) nothing but a cup of water to wash your ass, and
B) no soap to wash your hands afterwards!

If any of the people preparing food have used the same facilities then your can see how food poisoning spreads.

Ah, but was the Indian food you were eating authentic? Or was it No True Scotsman Indian Food?

The whole "authentic" stuff some people (like the person you're replying to) say about food is rather silly and wholly arbitrary. For example, fish and chips is "authentic" British food. But the chips are made with potatoes, which are native to part of the americas, didn't exist at all in Britain until at least the 16th century and didn't become popular food in Britain until the 18th century. But the people in the places that potatoes are native to didn't cut them into sticks and deep fry them. Does that mean chips aren't authentic food anywhere? Is there some sort of time period after which food becomes "authentic"? It's all a bit silly.

You mean you visited India 10 times as a rich and I'm guessing white guy and only ate 5 star food, not normal street or home cooked food.

Actual normal homecooked Indian or even Chinese food would more than likely completely destroy you.

Of course there are plenty of qualified chefs in India that know all about and practice food hygiene normally. The average village pleb however doesn't have the slightest idea that they are meant to wash their hands after defecating in the street or not leave meat out at room temperature for several days.

Also most people in India eat meat, as even I didn't realize until someone posted it earlier, they simply have the highest number of vegetarians.
 
'How can the milk be expired if its still in date? Drink it now!' - Black mother.

Multiple food poisonings from parent's foods.

Vomiting all night from the Chicken curry.

This is what actual 'non white' food is like.
 
This may be a stupid question but at that level of poverty and that kind of heat wouldn’t food poisoning or prolonged vomiting and Diarrhea be close to a death sentence?


I’d have thought people would take hygiene fairly seriously?

I grew up in India and ate home cooked food for the first 17 years of my life. I go home regularly and still do. Never suffered any issues. And I eat meat all the time in India, almost always when I go out to restaurants there. Sometimes they are 5 stars. Sometimes street food. Normally in the middle.

So you're not among the 13%+ of the population there that get food poisoned, good for you.

Educated family? Richer than others? More affluent? Higher socioeconomic brahmin?
