The spices don't build immunity, your body just gets used to the bacteria. I'm pretty sure that, if a European just ate a lot of turmeric, cinnamon and coriander, they would still get diarrhea in India or SE Asia. You just have to get used to the bacteria, as the locals are. And of course, the food really won't be an issue. The only thing someone from the west should try to avoid is tap water. I'm pretty sure I've always gotten fucked up from ice cubes in my drinks, not from the food.
It pisses me off so much when people say foreign foods (or foods not made in a sterille environment) have food poisoning, and then later go eat at Burger King, as if fast food chains are less harmful for you than the food made with real ingredients..
Burger King food is at least clean unlike the street vendor food served in third world counties. Where the person serving doesn't even wear gloves, pollution, and the food has so much bacteria on it that is causes diarrhea, fevers, headaches, and more.
undercooked frozen food is a road to bad health .it's important to use use water that is clean if ur food is cooked properly and hot it is mostly germ free. and little immunity never hurts 😅
health inspectors will tell you the place most likely to get you sick is a fast food restaurant because too often the food sits out too long and falls below the proper temperature.

Indian vegetarian food is not wimpy, pretentious and overelaborately refined meat replacement like so much of Western veggie food. It is a real entity all to itself, and has thousands of years of history behind it. I so respect Bourdain for not being a vegetarian snob in this case. I now realize that much of his vegetarian dissing is based on a deep understanding of what the joy of eating, the soul of eating, is all about. Too bad animals have to be killed though. Signed, Vegetarian Guy..
Sure. Good comment. At least he made a conscious choice. So many people just fill their bellies with meat, because they don't know any better. To every meat-eater out there: Try one vegetarian day each week. Try to look up some recipes. You will be surprised how delicious it can be.
Sorry if I sound judgemental but a lot of westerners are mostly addicted to meat, and so the vegan ones also want similar tasting food , while in India meat consumption is lowest in the world and the ones who eats meat also consume it very rarely.
There is so much vegetarian options in india. Growing up we had chicken probably twice in a week. Now in Canada I see so many kids with allergies, obesity and other problems. I miss the vegetarian food as mostly here it's salads or dal at some indian places. There are tonnes of complex vegetarian and vegan dishes in India.

As a person who grew up in India and lives in US now, I can tell you that street food will not kill you. However, get your own bottle of water. Also, one has to realize that a lot of the food over here in US comes from horrible sources as well. Look at McDonalds, or the street side hot dogs. So if you are okay with eating that, you should be okay with Indian street food as well.
bmbc1310 Correct! The general rule of the thumb is that eat anything from street side which is properly heated prior to serving (High temperatures kill the germs, if any). Most Indian cuisine is served hot anyway. Avoid unfiltered water, other cold drinks, salads, yogurt, or pretty much anything which is not cooked & heated, when eating from Indian streets.

Anderson Cooper is annoying. A mind so closed to other cultures. His career consisted of going to other countries, then reporting from their glitzy hotels. This hesitation with other peoples' foods is a symptom of being isolated from other people. Plenty of local New Yorkers go to Indian restaurants without such fear of spice.
whatever04 where do you live? I live in California and I have never experienced what you mentioned. I have only heard good things from my friends such as how vegan friendly Indian food is and how they love naan and chicken tika.
I’ve been to India once and Pakistan a handful of times. I remanence about the food from both countries all the time. Food is the soul of South Asia, it’s the mark of true love. It’s what unites friends and families together.
ok you westerners, here me out cuz i have a revelation for you. you need to know once and for all that, the first few times we south asians try your food it makes us crap too much too, it's just what you call "the body getting adjusted to the new diet in its system" whether the food is healthy or not. get it?!! cuz you have suddenly consumed something out the routine in terms of your regular diet for your body. so it's just what the human body does. secondly,...jeeezz indian food is relatively healthier!!! yess!! daaayyymmm! just like any other ethnic cuisine is. When it's comes to nutrition let me open your eyes that most indian food veg or non-veg is primarily organic veggies/poultry that we shop locally, less processed in relatively cheaper, and traditionally healthy ways(depending on how good of a host you have) and is surely nutritious & healthy enough or should I rather say certainly better in some cases than the highly-processed-additive containing-nutritionless synthetic western food, packaged, shelved, for god knows how long with preservatives, food that most probably has mold and yeast from poorly managed food processing units, long preserved packaged meats with tape worms and shit. :| Thirdly, when it comes to matter of "eating with hands", even the wealthiest of wealthy people in india have to eat certain food with hands, cuz that's just the proper etiquette and tradition, done hygienically by washing hands with soap before and after the meal(part of our dining routine in an indian setting), and whether it's a restaurant or at a friend/host's house our dining areas are equipped with a sink and some form of soap. So the next time when the subject of Indian food and health comes up in your conversations remember this comment. ok?!! :) thanks and come again! bye bye! :)
Americans are the few people I know that see food as just “fuel”. Yes it’s fuel but it’s also a big central part of families, it’s a process, a ritual sometimes, a moment of gathering and socializing, a sense of pride for many. To see it as just “fuel”, is kinda sad.
The key is to know what to avoid in India. Let me lay down a few thumb rules: 1) For small meals, avoid anything that costs less than 50 Rupees. 2)For main meals, like lunch and dinner, avoid anything that costs less than 140 Rupees per person. 3) Eat in proper restaurants. Do not eat street food. Eat the same items that street food sellers sell at covered restaurants. 4)Drink only bottled water. 4 good brands are Bisleri, Kinley, Aquafina and IRCTC. Make sure the seal of the bottle isn't broken when you are buying the bottle. 5) Eat in moderate quantities. Indian food is delicious, but you gotta control yourself, as it can be very heavy. 6)Eat only one heavy meal a day. A light meal can consist of curd(yoghurt) rice, vegetable salad, rice and lentils(daal) and boiled eggs. 7) Buy and eat lots of fresh fruits. Don't buy cut fruits, as they may be unhygienic. Buy them whole and cut it yourself at the hotel. 8) Drink 7-8 litres of water every day. If you get gas or acidity, then buy 'ENO' from any medical store and drink it. You'll be fine in a few minutes. Follow these thumb rules, and you'll be fine in India. Cheers!
I am Asian so I was brought up on Indian food. I have been 2 the Indian subcontinent & I have never been sick eating anything never got diarrhora not even once. That's the best place in the world for Asian food
I've eaten street food all over the world and have been sick maybe twice, and all it was was a little extra time in the toilet. If you're going to travel, stock up on probiotics to get your tummy ready, and then go and enjoy the local culture!!
That's one thing I like about modern day Britain, they bloody love Indian food and like the culture. The US literally sees Indians as backwards people. It's the education of indians that's allows them to thrive in the us
I cant agree with him enough on the food safety and it's one of the things i regret about my last trip to the Philippines. I wanted to eat street food so bad but i was so concerned with food safety that i avoided it. However, myself and my squad got sick from eating the hotel breakfast buffet in el nido! Next time i go back im for sure gonna eat some street food.
He insisted his entire crew eat nothing but spaghetti Bolognese? How much of a control freak do you have to be as a boss to dictate what all your employees will eat. And you have it be the same meal 3 times a day every day? Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, lighten up my friend. Let your employees get a little variety at the buffet.
I think Bourdain is being a bit too generous here. As someone who grew up here and visited India regularly, you absolutely can get sick eating Indian street food. It won't kill you, but its an extremely unpleasant experience. Tyler Cowen, notable foodie, suggests to avoid places where you don't know where the water source is coming from. Indians living there have a built up immunity, but westerners do not. That said, when you go to reputable places, the food is amazing. And the meat and fish dishes are superlative.
WTF, too Generous, u know these days I see lot of Westerns Food vloggers are eating Indian from garbage's to get views go anf check in UA-cam and what what ur MOM and ur sisters swallows in NaughtyAmrca and RealityKngs websites is Hygienic ?? I guess ur happy to know that ur nothing but a excretion of a BBC.
True if you eating from market...in India there are many communities living that they never used garlic from generations..bcz it's prohibited religiously
I've not been eating western food due to pandemic situation for like 10 months now and i have not reduced my home diet at all......I'm just eating everything my mother cooks at home.....and it's so tasty that i sometimes overeat...... But still my weight is going down...... At first i got worried but then i looked into it and saw what's the difference then i realized that I'm not eating pizza burgers and pasta for 10 months......and my weight gain has stopped....... This tells a lot about our indian food itself........
You don’t need to eat our food. I don’t like British, French, German and many other types of food. In fact, I’d rather you people didn’t all eat our food, it’s not for you.
Hugh fan of Indian food here from China. Never disappointed with it. I went to India a few years ago & visited some good restaurant as well as some street ones - have to say that i am truly amazed.
The most dangerous food in India is 3rd class hotels that cook and store food weeks (and I've seen it done personally) in advance. Most street food is prepared (as far as I know) in the mornings, and they're done by the end of the day and ready to prepare the next batch the next morning. The only other thing I would really be worried about is fried food (since they're known to reuse the hell out of oil).
Best thing about street food is the food item is not stale so it won’t harm you as much as some restaurant food which might be 3-4 days old (sometime even months). Street vendors prepare fresh food items everyday and they don’t store their food. And if you are eating at some famous street vendor it even lowers your risk of getting sick as their food item generally sold out and they again prepare fresh food for next day.
my favorite food/ my yoga teacher and meditation teacher sri kumar niar would often make me dosas for breakfast i would bring fresh fruit/ i miss him dearly
I do think the major hotel brands teach a better quality of reheating or cooking. not putting on or in a heat source that's not an oven (warmer/ wells) but a one hotel operation, or lazy cooks with bad management will heat up with a reason for bacteria to grow. and i have worked with ppl like this, and I made sure they finally got fired or wanted to quit.
I think food in India is far better than in USA,it doesn't mean its not good,i mean its food like a meal of early man living in forest. You cant get much variety of food in USA whereas in India if you want to eat chicken you can get 100types of dishes easily in one food street. And its obvious if you are new to Indian food you would get ill if you dont have strong stomach. As most of Western food is not that rich in spice whereas as Indian food in made up of different varieties of spices.
Popular and busy street food is nice because it's freshly made and sometimes in front of your own eyes. Of course go for cooked street food not something like cold food e. G golgappe which has uncooked water.
What he said is right, you will be more likely to get sick eating from a good looking restaurant than a street vendor or shabby small restaurants in India.

Not really sure how many people in the world would prefer having that in their meals.
I have no problem eating street food because for the most part you can see thr food being prepared and cooked right in front of you. You don't get that at most restaurants.
Exactly what Orwell advised, from his experience - "Down And Out In Paris And London" - worth a read.
Come on Anderson how can you sound so uninformed? Indian vegetarian food is great. Is it really that much of a surprise?
Indian Non vegetarian food is even better, ever heard of Chicken Tandoori or Butter Chicken Masala
@@oneforallah overrated dishes to be honest. India has 10x better dishes in both vegetarian and non vegetarian than butter chicken and tandoori chicken.
@@oneforallah that is not even the best non veg Indian food...that is the stuff more known to the West...come explore India a bit more, you will be surprised
Loool These people act like this is a revelation. "We must let all the people know immediately." Dumbass people
Yeah i could not bear being veterinarian on western food but if i was Indian and had all that food that is good i would
Anderson Cooper is annoying. A mind so closed to other cultures. His career consisted of going to other countries, then reporting from their glitzy hotels. This hesitation with other peoples' foods is a symptom of being isolated from other people. Plenty of local New Yorkers go to Indian restaurants without such fear of spice.
He is not alone.indians won't touch African food with a barge pole.the symptoms applies to 3vryone who is isolated or feels there is nothing to add
Whaat? East African food is very similar to Indian vegitarian food. Atleast in Swahili speaking countries.
I'm an African married to an Indian, and I can tell you that Lechiffre six is correct. Indians won't go anywhere near African food.
whatever04 all my American friends love Indian food man, they always ask for my recommendations and ask if a Indian restaurant is authentic or not
whatever04 where do you live? I live in California and I have never experienced what you mentioned. I have only heard good things from my friends such as how vegan friendly Indian food is and how they love naan and chicken tika.
I’ve been to India once and Pakistan a handful of times. I remanence about the food from both countries all the time. Food is the soul of South Asia, it’s the mark of true love. It’s what unites friends and families together.
"This really destroyed my safe food " , yeah no this destroyed your ignorance
ok you westerners, here me out cuz i have a revelation for you. you need to know once and for all that, the first few times we south asians try your food it makes us crap too much too, it's just what you call "the body getting adjusted to the new diet in its system" whether the food is healthy or not. get it?!! cuz you have suddenly consumed something out the routine in terms of your regular diet for your body. so it's just what the human body does. secondly,...jeeezz indian food is relatively healthier!!! yess!! daaayyymmm! just like any other ethnic cuisine is. When it's comes to nutrition let me open your eyes that most indian food veg or non-veg is primarily organic veggies/poultry that we shop locally, less processed in relatively cheaper, and traditionally healthy ways(depending on how good of a host you have) and is surely nutritious & healthy enough or should I rather say certainly better in some cases than the highly-processed-additive containing-nutritionless synthetic western food, packaged, shelved, for god knows how long with preservatives, food that most probably has mold and yeast from poorly managed food processing units, long preserved packaged meats with tape worms and shit. :| Thirdly, when it comes to matter of "eating with hands", even the wealthiest of wealthy people in india have to eat certain food with hands, cuz that's just the proper etiquette and tradition, done hygienically by washing hands with soap before and after the meal(part of our dining routine in an indian setting), and whether it's a restaurant or at a friend/host's house our dining areas are equipped with a sink and some form of soap. So the next time when the subject of Indian food and health comes up in your conversations remember this comment. ok?!! :) thanks and come again! bye bye! :)
“You say Bolognese...I say vector”... wow! This man spread such great info and wisdom and miss him but happy to have him while we did.
I'm American of Italian and German heritage and I love Indian food! It's easily one of my favorite cuisines, along with Mexican and Lebanese.
Indian food has some of the most delicious vegetarian dishes in the world. Period. They've been perfected over a millennia. (and I'm not vegetarian)
Americans are the few people I know that see food as just “fuel”. Yes it’s fuel but it’s also a big central part of families, it’s a process, a ritual sometimes, a moment of gathering and socializing, a sense of pride for many. To see it as just “fuel”, is kinda sad.
Food is medicine....medicine is food...need to respect it, devote time for it..
@Paul quite a lot actually, considering I live in USA lmao I originally come from planet Vegeta
@Paul Right on bro..
The key is to know what to avoid in India. Let me lay down a few thumb rules:
1) For small meals, avoid anything that costs less than 50 Rupees.
2)For main meals, like lunch and dinner, avoid anything that costs less than 140 Rupees per person.
3) Eat in proper restaurants. Do not eat street food. Eat the same items that street food sellers sell at covered restaurants.
4)Drink only bottled water. 4 good brands are Bisleri, Kinley, Aquafina and IRCTC. Make sure the seal of the bottle isn't broken when you are buying the bottle.
5) Eat in moderate quantities. Indian food is delicious, but you gotta control yourself, as it can be very heavy.
6)Eat only one heavy meal a day. A light meal can consist of curd(yoghurt) rice, vegetable salad, rice and lentils(daal) and boiled eggs.
7) Buy and eat lots of fresh fruits. Don't buy cut fruits, as they may be unhygienic. Buy them whole and cut it yourself at the hotel.
8) Drink 7-8 litres of water every day. If you get gas or acidity, then buy 'ENO' from any medical store and drink it. You'll be fine in a few minutes.
Follow these thumb rules, and you'll be fine in India. Cheers!
7-8 litres??
It's called cooking fresh and Americans can learn a lot from the rest of the world.
I am Asian so I was brought up on Indian food. I have been 2 the Indian subcontinent & I have never been sick eating anything never got diarrhora not even once. That's the best place in the world for Asian food
I've eaten street food all over the world and have been sick maybe twice, and all it was was a little extra time in the toilet. If you're going to travel, stock up on probiotics to get your tummy ready, and then go and enjoy the local culture!!
If I had only one countries food to eat the rest of my life, it would be India.
I want to see the whole interview. Can someone share the link?
Nobody:
UA-cam recommendations: indian food won't kill you
Almost a year after he's gone. Been watching most of his shows and travelog and love his sarcasm. RIP Anthony Bourdain.
That's one thing I like about modern day Britain, they bloody love Indian food and like the culture. The US literally sees Indians as backwards people. It's the education of indians that's allows them to thrive in the us
As a Punjabi man. When people say a vegetarian diet is unsustainable i laugh. Thank you Anthony. Rest in peace
God, I miss this man so much. RIP Tony.
Truer words have never been spoken. RIP Tony. Forever sorely missed.
i think the only safe food that ever is prepared in the planet earth is HOMECOOKED FOOD which i think meets every person standards in their own way.☺
R u still eating home made food after 2 years
In India food doesn't kill you, hunger does.
2:20 "You're slamming shut like a book on the plane on the way home" 🤣🤣🤣
I cant agree with him enough on the food safety and it's one of the things i regret about my last trip to the Philippines. I wanted to eat street food so bad but i was so concerned with food safety that i avoided it. However, myself and my squad got sick from eating the hotel breakfast buffet in el nido! Next time i go back im for sure gonna eat some street food.
He insisted his entire crew eat nothing but spaghetti Bolognese? How much of a control freak do you have to be as a boss to dictate what all your employees will eat. And you have it be the same meal 3 times a day every day? Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, lighten up my friend. Let your employees get a little variety at the buffet.
Indian food is incredible. Its such a well balanced delicate blend of some of the world's strongest flavours. (Food enthusiast from the uk)
I think Bourdain is being a bit too generous here. As someone who grew up here and visited India regularly, you absolutely can get sick eating Indian street food. It won't kill you, but its an extremely unpleasant experience. Tyler Cowen, notable foodie, suggests to avoid places where you don't know where the water source is coming from. Indians living there have a built up immunity, but westerners do not. That said, when you go to reputable places, the food is amazing. And the meat and fish dishes are superlative.
WTF, too Generous, u know these days I see lot of Westerns Food vloggers are eating Indian from garbage's to get views go anf check in UA-cam and what what ur MOM and ur sisters swallows in NaughtyAmrca and RealityKngs websites is Hygienic ?? I guess ur happy to know that ur nothing but a excretion of a BBC.
As a recently out-of-the-closet vampire, my only issue with Indian food is how much garlic they use. Apart from that, it's blood-sucking good!
True if you eating from market...in India there are many communities living that they never used garlic from generations..bcz it's prohibited religiously
Anderson Cooper, you've got to be kidding me....
no, that is your typical american for you. albeit a pole smoker. But typical american all the same
Indian food makes u strong and healthy
Not true lol
@@GigaNigga777 we are saying real Indian food ...not chicken tikka masala 😀...to see real Indian food u need to come to India
@@MrShreetam nope eating non veg is way better than veg
I have watched this video again and again
Rest in peace Anthony.💞💞
Eh...First world problems
I've not been eating western food due to pandemic situation for like 10 months now and i have not reduced my home diet at all......I'm just eating everything my mother cooks at home.....and it's so tasty that i sometimes overeat......
But still my weight is going down......
At first i got worried but then i looked into it and saw what's the difference then i realized that I'm not eating pizza burgers and pasta for 10 months......and my weight gain has stopped.......
This tells a lot about our indian food itself........
It’s not the food in Indian i’m worried about, it’s the hygiene and water used in making the food.
what ur MOM and ur sisters swallows in NaughtyAmrca and RealityKngs websites is Hygienic ??
i guess ur fine with the BBC smell
Intelligence, curiosity of others and charm just oozes out of him
Our history, food are more than 5000 years old. It speaks for itself.
Indian food won't kill you but questioning HILLARY SURE WILL!- Anthony Bourdain
You don’t need to eat our food. I don’t like British, French, German and many other types of food. In fact, I’d rather you people didn’t all eat our food, it’s not for you.
Indian food will not kill you, but it will take you to heaven.
Happy Birthday tony .wish you were here .
Hugh fan of Indian food here from China. Never disappointed with it. I went to India a few years ago & visited some good restaurant as well as some street ones - have to say that i am truly amazed.
Is india safe to travel?
Honestly reply
How reassuring!
Indian vegetarian is not that western fake food. It’s full of awesome spices.
The most dangerous food in India is 3rd class hotels that cook and store food weeks (and I've seen it done personally) in advance. Most street food is prepared (as far as I know) in the mornings, and they're done by the end of the day and ready to prepare the next batch the next morning. The only other thing I would really be worried about is fried food (since they're known to reuse the hell out of oil).
Epstein?
Best thing about street food is the food item is not stale so it won’t harm you as much as some restaurant food which might be 3-4 days old (sometime even months). Street vendors prepare fresh food items everyday and they don’t store their food. And if you are eating at some famous street vendor it even lowers your risk of getting sick as their food item generally sold out and they again prepare fresh food for next day.
RIP my friend. This guy lived my dream life.
Miss him
At 0:33, It's the famous Kesar Da Dhaba in Amritsar, Punjab. I've been to this place and the food was great.
Why would he even think Indian food would make you sick
I'm surprised CNN has not produced a food show with Anderson Cooper going around the world trying various foods.
I agree with both. Indian food is healthy as it's mostly vegetarian but eating at an unhygienic place would make you sick, that's science.
Could tell he was in the Hamptons growing up
Anthony Bourdain be spittin facts (can confirm as an Indian)
Indian food is actually my safe food. I had some slamming mushroom curry I was hooked.
my favorite food/ my yoga teacher and meditation teacher sri kumar niar would often make me dosas for breakfast i would bring fresh fruit/ i miss him dearly
For a long time I never really are Indian food, mainly because I just wasn't exposed to it growing up...but damn is it good
I'm not Indian, but can easily say Indian cuisine is the most delicious, flavorful and satisfying in the world.
As an Indian, I think you should try mango lassi
I do think the major hotel brands teach a better quality of reheating or cooking. not putting on or in a heat source that's not an oven (warmer/ wells) but a one hotel operation, or lazy cooks with bad management will heat up with a reason for bacteria to grow. and i have worked with ppl like this, and I made sure they finally got fired or wanted to quit.
This just popped up in my recos. Damn, I miss Bordaine.
INDIA in the title
INDIANS-WE ARE SUMMONED
indian home made food is amazing not hotel or street
totally right. if you go to a good place, people are eating so much of the food that it just wont be standing around frothing
I miss him
I think food in India is far better than in USA,it doesn't mean its not good,i mean its food like a meal of early man living in forest. You cant get much variety of food in USA whereas in India if you want to eat chicken you can get 100types of dishes easily in one food street. And its obvious if you are new to Indian food you would get ill if you dont have strong stomach. As most of Western food is not that rich in spice whereas as Indian food in made up of different varieties of spices.
Indian food is one of the healthy, delicious, unique and diverse foods in the World.
I quote, 'Punjab in particular'- Punjabi proud 4eva !
I feel bad for Anthony Bourdain, what a humbleness he had. Guy who taught Anderson Cooper about India, what is what!!!
Indian food won't kill you, depression will though.
man Bourdain had it right with the Vector
Loved that Guy...................... Best food addict... RiP
Muy buen copilado!
Indian food is the best and loved around the world.
#soulfulspices
Now a days , everyone foreigners come to India and eat india food and make video. Wow Indian food is fabulous.
Popular and busy street food is nice because it's freshly made and sometimes in front of your own eyes. Of course go for cooked street food not something like cold food e. G golgappe which has uncooked water.
What he said is right, you will be more likely to get sick eating from a good looking restaurant than a street vendor or shabby small restaurants in India.
RIP indeed
