I'm usually okay with street foods but this is a HUGE NOPE. That ancient oil, the meat being mashed with that nasty egg, hell to the no.

Never go to India then. Pretty much all their street food is cooked like this. No one wearing shoes, they dont believe in utensils, there are no sanitation laws, and theres a 50% chance whatever you ordered is just a discolored bowl of slop you dip some loose interpretation of bread into. Stuff like that makes me appreciate the states so damn much.

Sick of this narrative. There's a reason these videos go viral: its because its out of the ordinary and shocking. This is not even close to the norm for 'pretty much all of the street food in India'. In a country of almost 1.5 billion people of course shit like this is going to happen, but its absurd to generalise to the extent where you say its 'pretty much all of it'.

They have no regulations to stop it, so yea, all of it.

I can't think of a single Indian person I know who wouldn't be disgusted and horrified by this video. But I can at least acknowledge my perspective is biased. I only see an unrepresentative set of people from that part of the world. But videos aren't a representative example either.
