It darn sure isn't the same! Food safety standards abroad vs USA.

- Hey y'all! A comment I received prompted this video . A lady is having a hard time being comfortable with the lack of the same food standards she is accustomed to back home while she resides here in Merida and wants to eat out.
Interested in buying me a coffee or supporting the channel? Check out the links in my about section. Peace and blessings!
Wow! Ok, you brought up so many issues I NEVER thought about! Great info. Thanks for sharing your experiences because I have not seen anyone else talk about this.
Glad to be of a bit of help! 🦋
This video was informative, realistic and super hilarious! Just catching the #replay.😂
Thanks for watching 🦋
Malikah, I am going to miss you when you leave Merida. I appreciate your channel, and I hope you continue where ever you go! 🥰
Thanks so much! I will continue my channel and I hope you will continue to support ☺️🦋
Yep. Give it to the Lawdt! hahahah. Great perspective on food culture aboad.
Why doesn't anyone talk about this while traveling? I travel a lot and there are vast differences in other countries. Unfortunately, I cook a lot when I travel. Heading to the Dominican Republic, I already said very little eating out. I now rent condos or hotels with kitchens. I pack nuts, and protein drinks just in case lol. I would chance it when I was younger but now, over 50, I can not take that chance. You have completely changed my mind with this video even further. lol!
It’s a reality not a secret and many content creators like to show selective parts of travel . I try to show it all and of course you often get negative responses from it. 🤷🏽♀️
Hey Malikah, thank you so much for this video. You are wonderful! I wish I had gotten the chance to meet you! ❤️ I’m 68 and keep thinking my immune system might not be as good as it was 30 years ago. I guess I’ll stick to what I’m doing…cooking everything and going to restaurants when I can afford it…Niki took me to a few restaurants that were really nice and I did not get sick so this is probably all in my head…but you just convinced me even more that this street food ain’t for me. I know I’ll be missing out on some great experiences. Maybe I’ll make my way over to the Museo de La Gastronomia Yucatan one day for some authentic Yucatan food. I know they don’t wear gloves there either but at least they have access to some facilities. This is a good step toward eating the food in Merida. I’ll also take your advice to take the Lombrix and give it to God. 🙏
Thanks and best wishes!
Thanks for this vid, you are very direct! Good info!❤
Thanks for watching!
There is something to be said for the courage of a drunken service member and our food choices leaving the club. The street vendors in Rota Spain fed many of us and we never questioned their food handling or lack of sanitation. Thirty five years later I still think that was some of the best roasted chicken I've ever eaten.
Yes! Young ,reckless and carefree 😂
Good information that most don't talk about, thank you! Happy Memorial Day, Malika. Thank you for your service.
Thank you Cindy!
I love your channel. You approach some amazing topics. I shared with you earlier that we both have a military connection (the USArmy). I know many who have eaten at various vendors and from gut trucks while overseas . Me, while in Korea and Germany, I never ate off the economy. For the various reasons that you mentioned I would eat at The Town House, Enlisted and Officers Club as well as the dining facility before departing Post. I was too scared and too cautious. I would pack snacks and be damned near famished by the time we returned 🤪🤪😂😂😂😂. But, I wasn’t eating. My friends rolled with laughter because I would be starving. Heck, I was tempted to get ice cream at BR in Seoul but held fast to no, no, no.
Aww, I was stationed in Seoul but detached to Daegu for the majority of my stay. They would tell us not to eat the beef in local places because it was known to have tuberculosis but I did very often and thankfully didn’t catch anything !
Ok so I watched this yesterday but it was on the TV so I had to get on my phone to comment. Good video and I might add that I very rarely eat out here because every time I do I get some kind of symptoms. I’ve been vegan for almost 5 years and since being in Mexico I’ve had to backslide and do vegetarian when I eat out because they don’t differentiate between the two. So sometimes something could be all veggie but cooked in animal grease or something. I just got bubble guts from eating the lettuce garnish from around my fried cauliflower bites so it was either the water they washed it in (that’s assuming they actually washed it) or the pork fat that the cauliflower bites was probably fried in 😂 lol you can’t trust the rice and beans either so for me it’s a hard NO I’m eating what I cook! I’m not a fan of Yucatan cuisine anyways. I’m just sayin’ 🤷🏽♀️
Yep! Probably the washing or lack of. Sorry you have to stray from your dietary lifestyle 😞
great video! i havent gotten sick yet thankfully *knock on wood* but i am also a street food champ from the islands lol
Thanks, just be picky about it and you shouldn’t have any problem !
I would be so thin,God help us
😂😂
Lawd have 🥺 mercy❤
😂
A lot of hand contact with food in Seattle too. I was surprised when I first moved there.
Wow!
Be more intentional of a country’s differences
I always am. I am a very aware person yet many take things they are accustomed to as done in other places as well.
