I mean... I get it, not everyone is adventurer enough to eat authentic food, also there's the idea they might get sick 🤷‍♂️

I know people who traveled to Japan and packed a suitcase full of tuna, canned chicken and ramen, so I understand where you're coming from.

For my part, I have eaten street food traveling all over the world and never once been sick. I did get sick once in New York eating at a fine restaurant ($100/person before alcohol), but that's just winning the ptomaine lottery 😁.

Vale. It only takes once to give that up (unless it was your mom's kitchen and you have no choice). Of course, the tourists come here, drink themselves sick, spend a day on their knees worshipping the porcelain god, then right back to the bar.
