pe7e Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yes, only made me ill once, make sure it's properly cooked and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasySt Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 At least you can see everything and how they prepare it. At a restaurant you have no idea what is going on back there. I have never had any problems with food stalls and I eat at them a LOT when in the LOS! Got violently sick from an indoor mall food court place once though. It was simultaneously coming out of both ends like a firehose. Not fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I love you avatar by the way! have to agree, food in places where you can;t see it being made, or sits out for a LOOOOONG time, BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've seen meat sitting out with tons of flies crawling all over it. worse thing was thats what i saw AFTER enjoying a sumptuous feast. Didnt make me feel too good after eating. fortunately had no problems with the food. I like your avatar, thats exactly what ill be doing in 8 days from now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yay: :yay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Look for the vendors with the long queues... chances are they are good. I eat anything whilst in LOS.. the only thing which ever made me sick was the chang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCgringo Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 i may be the only one , but I never eat off the food carts, In Thailand or Mexico, I have always told my friends that that I am not a gourmet, so I do not travel for the food, And I really do not want to spend a couple of days hugging the toilet Yeah , maybe I miss something , but thats OK I would rather not get sick , I only have a fixed time for a vacation.

Redbaron Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Better safe than sorry I guess... I'm just lazy, and grab whatever food is closest, looks good etc. Not exactly gourmet, but some good stuff out there. My point was, I've never been sick. Eaten off carts hundreds of times, maybe thousands! Maybe I have a cast iron stomach, never had food poisoning anywhere (touch wood). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
