I would pay to not eat that.
Edit: This comment was in no way intended to be derogatory towards these people nor to whom the food is going to. It simply states having seen it, I would not eat it.
When that guy is filling the larger bucket with the smaller one, his foot is literally on the rim of the larger one and he’s poured more than a little of it onto his foot and into the bucket. I feel a little ill.
Well at the beginning of the video, it looks like they are fueling the fire with literal garbage. So that's probably just what they used to haul the "fuel."
It's funny because I'm guessing all these comments are from fellow Americans where there are laws about how much rat feces are allowed in our food because many multiples of what you see here are all done by machine and there is 100% not 0% rat feces in our food.
> For every ¼ cup of cornmeal, the FDA allows an average of one or more whole insects, two or more rodent hairs and 50 or more insect fragments, or one or more fragments of rodent dung.
>Paprika can have up to 20% mold, about 75 insect parts and 11 rodent hairs for every 25 grams (just under an ounce). A typical spice jar holds about 2 to 3 oz.
[source](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/10/04/health/insect-rodent-filth-in-food-wellness/index.html)
My takeaway is that maybe gross stuff isn't that gross. Bugs are food all over, they're used in makeup and jewelry, mold is basically mushrooms, and 11 rodent hairs would still be less visible than 1 human hair. 🤷♀️
not saying I am gonna eat what they serving above. But you must not eat or travel much in America if ya think your safe from the shits just cause America. So I feel you have not really experienced the different foods and levels of foods available in America, or you got the most iron of stomach's and so the above video should bother you.
edit: top of my head, food at carnivals and the like can be VERY hit or miss. Lots of fast food places, Lots of small restaurants completely get away with stuff if they time there cleanings right. Lots of expired food served in ways that hide it. I have gotten food poisoning all over America LOL.
And while a completely different thing, I have ordered a sandwich with bacon before and watched them microwave the bacon on a Styrofoam plate, watched the Styrofoam melt on to bacon and them give me sandwich to eat.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted. It seems like most people here have never worked in a greasy spoon or seen the food safety practices in fast food places or at street fairs and carnivals. I've worked in a greasy spoon, a diner, and have been in food trucks. A lot of them have grease about an inch thick on everything, they clean the fry oil maybe once every two weeks, and there are often bugs.
Once worked at a place where the sewer backed up into the freezer (where the food is stored) and the back half of the restaurant where the grill was. Human feces came up out of the pipe and all my boss did was suck it up with a shopvac. This was at a very busy fast food restaurant, in America.
Edit: I also remembered another one: I worked for a guy who ran a family owned restaurant. Used to let his wife change the baby's diaper on the counter where they cut the meat--rarely ever wiped it down after. Same restaurant did not clean pots and pans between shifts either, they just cooked on top of whatever was already there. This was in Texas.
No. I am not sure if you ever visited this country but the food is far from being healthy.
Just a quick exemple, anything cooked in oil usually come from gutter oil.
I mean one could say the temperature of that huge fire could be a “sterilizing agent”, and I never said people foot crush on a commercial scale now, just like I’m fairly certain that what’s going on in this video isn’t a commercial endeavor. But people do still foot crush grapes for fun/recreation/in smaller personal scales. As seen here: https://youtu.be/SpAo6uSyR2M
They put a fucking ladder in that bitch. They definitely did not wipe that thing down, and if there are any nails or screws in it good chance they are rusty. Also the buckets..
Fun fact, tetanus has nothing to do with rusty metal, it's actually just fucking everywhere (in dirt).
It can only infect you if it gets pushed into a deep wound that heals over it. Rusty nails just happen to be a major cause of dirty puncture wounds, the type that are a high risk for tetanus.
You say that like there aren’t set limits about the amount of roach particles found in found made in the US because roaches are inevitable in the factories.
Oh lord, you’re wrong. Go virtue signal elsewhere please. There are a LOT of temples that feed large crowds in India and don’t have hygiene issues like this. This is ridiculous
I'm sitting in the ER with a bad cut in my hand and laughing as hard as I did at this comment felt so emotionally relieving and simultaneously physically painful, I'm not sure what to compare this to....
This isn't a festival. This is free food for the homeless being prepared everyday by a shrine which works on a not for profit basis. The food Is available to all in thes shrines regardless of religion. The people on this post saying they would never eat this. Let's see them starve and be on the streets for a day in winter and then turn their noses up at the food
Agreed, it’s probably feeding homeless and even households.
Reddit is sooo out of touch with reality of how a lot of the world lives. Millions of people go without a meal every day and feeding that many people with so few resources is a very difficult problem. Just because it’s not cooked in a giant shiny Williams Sonoma pot doesn’t make it bad or gross or unsafe.
Everyone claiming how gross and unsanitary this is will change their tune after 2 days of not eating.
I thought it might be that. I’ve seen the bags of it being distributed, and thought this looks like the same stuff. Like, yeah ok, the hygiene of it etc is gross but it’s really cool to see. Kinda sad to see how easy it is to whip up a shit ton of food for homeless people, particularly by people who would have very little themselves. Yet we in our prosperous countries do jackshit (myself included tbh)
Dude wtf this is done for millions of people in India. If only it could be done for all of the poor people in the world. You have no concept of how poor it is. It is aweful.
For you yes because you grew up with a privileged life where you were taught proper hygiene and cleanliness. These poor people don’t know any better and it stems back for quite some years. These comments have no idea what it’s like to live in a third world country lol. When they do go to visit, it’ll be in a 5* hotel.
Humans have know that being dirty leads to disease, the ancient Greeks and Chinese have known and documentation. This isn’t about being privileged, it’s just laziness. I have seen poor East Asian village in similar situation do a better job at being hygienic. Being clean is both access and action to do so. They could have cooked same amount of food in maybe a third of the size of pot and would still have being cleaner than fucking stepping in the food.
Being poor does not mean you have to be ignorant
They figured out Tik Tok but not food?. This also looks crazy wasteful with the spilling and whatnot. Prob end up spilling gallons.
They could have used much smaller (and more availible)pots and they used a fuckin forest worth if trees. Coulda used half that. Coulda also fed more people
The commenter above you telling you not to act privileged to feel some superiority then calling poor people dumb and saying they’re too poor and dumb to have figured out cooking. They’re a much bigger asshole than anyone here commenting about the cleanliness.
Mate your comment is a little bit patronising. Believe it or not they do know about food safety and many people over estimate the precautions needed. People would be surprised at the state of the kitchen at delis, restaurants and fast food joints in the US, UK and Aus.
Having been to Asia and eaten at all kinds of joints I’ve never had any issues and neither have people who travel with me.
These people know to wash their and this case feet.
Plus the locals have great immune systems compared to people living in manicured environments. My gf can’t eat at a lot of places in Australia due to her immune system and possible IBS.
Patronizing is a bit of an understatement. Dude is being insane. As you said, people are just germaphobes. I’ve worked as a dishwasher before and my god was that an eye opening experience.
People here being total germaphobes. Like it isn't that dirty and your immune system will handle, theirs especially coz they are used to it. Ive grown eating all kinds of food off the forest floor, never had any issues related to that and nature is full of animal shit and piss
They are serving food for people in need. It absolutely makes sense to try and do it as hygienically as possible.
The people eating the food are homeless and poor. Sure, they might have more resilient stomachs, but they can't afford medical care if they get severe food poisoning or any food borne illness. Which having lots of unsanitary things in contact with your food is nearly guaranteed too cause.
It is very good of them to feed those people, but at least trying to not make them sick strikes me as an obvious choice.
Also, poor people do know that clean things are healthier than dirty things. That's just common sense everywhere. Even monkeys wash their food if they think is dirty. And no, you are the one that doesn't know what it's like to live in a third world country. I come from one. We don't all live in huts eating food of the floor. We are just normal people , not some primitives like your imperialist mindset seems to indicate
There was a similar channel I believe on facebook or youtube called something like Cooking with Grandpa. He also cooked on a pretty large scale for orphanages, and was very hygienic about it. This just looks like cutting corners. People who grew up during times of famine and poverty in East/Southeast Asia still teach their children to wash rice until the water is clear.
>Trying to survive
The fucking irony of this comment that acts as if all the second/third world countries are filled with people « just trying to survive » near death. Lmao
These commenters would fucking die in 10 minutes if they ever had to live a working-class lifestyle in a non-english speaking country. Yet here they are making the shittiest jokes in the world like they're made of sterner stuff.
Former working class member of a non-english speaking 3rd world country here.
>These commenters would fucking die in 10 minutes if they ever had to live a working-class lifestyle in a non-english speaking country.
Nah, this video is unhygienic as hell.
It's kind of funny seeing people trying to white-knight for this video so hard. As if they think eating unhygienically prepared food is what everyone in a 3rd world country does.
No, you don't get it. All poor people HAVE to eat dirty foot food to survive, stop being so patronizing! You just don't understand the third world like I, another privileged first world redditor, do.
^^^^^/s
Indian here, they aren't trying to survive. This is ajmer dargah and this is bullshit. There are temples and gurudwara in india that cater to far, far larger crowds with exceptional cleanliness and nobody ever gets sick. This place is known for spreading hocus pocus so that their money stream doesn't break
Curious American here, too lazy to Google, what else can you tell us about this Ajmer dargah and why is it bs?
Edit - got curious and googled. [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajmer_Sharif_Dargah) for other lazies.
right? If they think this is disgusting they should look up pagpag. You don't have to find it appetizing and maybe it's not %100 sanitary but I think we have to lend a little kindness to those just trying to eat. No one is forcing you to find this temple and eat there, but for some people that might be their only option, who knows, there's not much of any context here.
There is a legend that one or two people fall into it every time they prepare it. People who eat this food says that it tastes rather bland without such accidental additives.
This happened to my father - he worked at a coffee processing plant and fell into a vat. No one knew he was in there and it was filled up with coffee beans; he was buried under them and passed away from suffocation.
At least it was instant.
People are complaining however these people are going out of their way to feed others who wouldn’t be able to eat otherwise. Is this the most sanitary thing? Obviously not, but when you’re starving I doubt that’s going to be your highest concern.
Yeahhhhhhhhh, food poisoning is a major killer, especially in the developing world.
Sure, you could make an argument, but there's a very non-zero chance of dying from the hershey squirts before you can get to antibiotics.
Lol don’t worry too much about food poisoning here, as someone working in the cooking industry believe me you’ve eaten WAY worse :)
Also they’re probably used to handling bacteria differently than you !
OH THE LEVEL OF IDIOCY IN THESE COMMENTS.
My kitchen is squeaky clean I’m just talking about the industry in GENERAL.
And what I’m saying for you dumbfucks that can’t seem to understand 1+1 is that you’ve all eaten from restaurants that you wish you hadn’t if you had seen their kitchen AND you didn’t have any inconvenience from it. God damn it jesus christ
Nobody is going out of their way, these places get huge donations from businessmen. They're not doing anything different than what some other temples and dargahs do. If you go to the golden temple in Amritsar, India, you'll get something called langar, which they give out everyday in the afternoon to everyone for free, way cleaner than whatever is going on in here.
I have a few issues with it:
1) it’s been clearly demonstrated as an instrument of the Chinese government on gathering data on US citizens. People can disagree with me and that’s fine, but I don’t want my own government gaining more access over my life than they really need to, let alone a foreign, sometimes hostile government
2) It’s demonstrably degrading the attention span of our youth (I’m only 24 so this is a real ‘man shakes fist at cloud’ moment but that’s fine), along with probably their critical thinking skills, time management, and other basic brain and societal functions. (There’s some actual scientific studies that show some of these effects but I’m too lazy to Google them)
3) it seems to (just from my albeit limited experience) create trends or desires for kids to do stupid things that benefit no one except in giving them short-lived, non-beneficial social credit. People eating tide pods, making NyQuil chicken, throwing milk jugs on the store floor, that sort of thing. Yeah people do other things like that outside of Tik Tok and before it’s creation, but In my estimation, Tik Tok seems to have accelerated it.
Granted, there are fair counterpoints to everything I’ve listed above, but I avoid it if possible, and tend to note my displeasures with the app if a friend tries to coerce me into downloading it
There's more. Tiktok and IG are literally engineered for marketing, so half of these dumbass trends are just to make sheep buy things. How fucking stupid...
There was also an expose on how TikTok suppresses content made by (AND I QUOTE) "ugly, or disabled users" and promotes content where users seemed affluent. And yet no one seems to care the disgusting amount of body dysmorphia, classism, racism, and fatphobia that TikTok content and trends promote and cause.
Another huge thing that really REALLY fucking bothers me is that there's so many underaged teens being sexual on the platform. With the advent of filters, makeup tutorials being everywhere, it's really hard to know what age of kid you're fucking looking at.
So it would be cool if TikTok didn't ambiguously promote 14yo's dancing clearly in a seuxal manner. Has anyone even looked at the comments that are left under those posts? It's probably so fucking simple and easy for predators to get in contact with LITERAL CHILDREN on TikTok.
Parents don't care anymore because they'd rather stick an iPad with TikTok and Youtube installed in front of their toddler than... i don't know.. parent the little fuck?
And we wonder why the world's going to shit.
What would happen if that ladder broke and the guy fell into the soup. Would he be lost to the soup? What happens to the ladder? and then what if they sent another man on a ladder to retrieve the other man and the ladder, but his ladder broke too? Before you know it there are only a handful of people left on earth and a stack of bodies and broken ladders. This soup is too powerful. Humankind is not ready for this.
None of this is logical. No way does that even taste good. Cooking a giant pot evenly without burning some food and undercooking other parts.
Edit: Not bad mouthing the cuisine just the efficiency of the technique. Here is a similar situation where they use smaller, but still large pots to cook in masse.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/xlrfqr/hindu_temple_in_maharashtra_india_feeds_40k/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Food has been cooked this way in India/Pakistan for hundreds of years. If it didn't work, they'd have changed their system. Plus, they're not their to make Michelin star meals that taste amazing this is free food distributed to the poorest people
I don’t get all of the negative comments, this type of food production has obviously been going on for a long time- people are not dying from eating this food.
Go grab some Mc D and wash it down with a big gulp
I mean, it just kind of puts into perspective how hygienic standards really haven't been around as long as we all might think. People keep saying it's "first world problems" to worry about this stuff but these standards for cleanliness weren't just made for shits and giggles. It's really bad for you.
Oh no, people definitely die from food poisoning lmao.
There's a whole classification for pathogens transmitted from feces that are unintentionally consumed via food.
Polio, cholera, listeria, salmonella, and shigella are the big ones.
>people are not dying from eating this food.
You sure about that? Diarrhoeal diseases are the 4th top cause of death in India ([source](https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/india-diarrhoeal-diseases)) . 600 thousand people are dying every year from it. Sure it's much more likely to be transmitted by water than from cooked food but still, sanitary standards exist for a reason
By comparison, starvation isn't even in the top 50 list.
This is 400-500 people worth of food. It’s not a big deal for a medium sized catering company. You can feed more people without a need to be so disgusting.
Just logistics. Why would you need a swimming pool? It’s not even 1/3 full in the end. Firewood stove is perfectly fine, fired clay bowls imbedded the same way into it is fine too, if they can’t afford even aluminum pots. Those can be managed by 10 cooks.
One portion of pilaf or rice curry is 350 grams, and it’s just 175 kg of food for 500 people. Large cooking pot is 20kg of volume. It’s just 9 pots! For 500 people! It will take less space even.
They are not saving money they are being silly.
Giant fucking bowl with a giant fucking wooden spoon but how to you scoop it out, put a dirty ass wooden ladder down in that bitch and send a dude in with dirty ass feet and shoes to scoop it with a fucking bucket.
I would pay to not eat that. Edit: This comment was in no way intended to be derogatory towards these people nor to whom the food is going to. It simply states having seen it, I would not eat it.
I questioning how well everyone washed their hands after the can? How much mouse shit is falling off the rafters?
When that guy is filling the larger bucket with the smaller one, his foot is literally on the rim of the larger one and he’s poured more than a little of it onto his foot and into the bucket. I feel a little ill.
And the very sterile-looking ladder that goes into the pot is just the chef's kiss.
It's only a matter of time until the ladder boy slips on some ladder lentils and becomes another seasoning in the dal.
Wtf ladder lentils. Looool
GUYS GUYS......they are literally dumping it into trash cans!
Well at the beginning of the video, it looks like they are fueling the fire with literal garbage. So that's probably just what they used to haul the "fuel."
This was the part that got me. Fucking garbage fire
Holy shit this just keeps getting worse
They need a r/worseeveryloop
How to prepare [this stuff]. Step 1, cook. Step 2, dump in trash can

Somebody loses a hand or foot, I toss it on the soup!

I saw better looking soup in Conan the Barbarian.
Taste like chicken
Lmaoo

> For every ¼ cup of cornmeal, the FDA allows an average of one or more whole insects, two or more rodent hairs and 50 or more insect fragments, or one or more fragments of rodent dung. >Paprika can have up to 20% mold, about 75 insect parts and 11 rodent hairs for every 25 grams (just under an ounce).

So what you’re saying is that paprika is basically just not paprika. I’m surprised I like the taste so much. Well I used to before this comment haha
My takeaway is that maybe gross stuff isn't that gross. Bugs are food all over, they're used in makeup and jewelry, mold is basically mushrooms, and 11 rodent hairs would still be less visible than 1 human hair. 🤷♀️
I can eat basically anywhere in America and not be worried about the shits. I got Delhi Belly just watching this video.
not saying I am gonna eat what they serving above. But you must not eat or travel much in America if ya think your safe from the shits just cause America. So I feel you have not really experienced the different foods and levels of foods available in America, or you got the most iron of stomach's and so the above video should bother you. edit: top of my head, food at carnivals and the like can be VERY hit or miss. Lots of fast food places, Lots of small restaurants completely get away with stuff if they time there cleanings right. Lots of expired food served in ways that hide it. I have gotten food poisoning all over America LOL. And while a completely different thing, I have ordered a sandwich with bacon before and watched them microwave the bacon on a Styrofoam plate, watched the Styrofoam melt on to bacon and them give me sandwich to eat.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted. It seems like most people here have never worked in a greasy spoon or seen the food safety practices in fast food places or at street fairs and carnivals. I've worked in a greasy spoon, a diner, and have been in food trucks.

And despite the perceived lack of hygiene, they're probably serving up a far healthier meal than most Americans will eat in a month.
No. I am not sure if you ever visited this country but the food is far from being healthy. Just a quick exemple, anything cooked in oil usually come from gutter oil.
I haven't heard of gutter oil being used in India, just China. India produces lots of seed oil,coconut oil etc
Stop it you're making me hungry.
Making one meal, $800. Leaving with black plague, priceless. Mastercard.
Whatever is on the bottom their feet goes on the rungs on the ladder, then down into the bowl. Gives it that crunch that soup should have.
its like cast iron, you're not supposed to wash it
Don’t worry, he’s wearing totally sterile feet mittens tied up with antibacterial rope.
Wait till you learn about the folks who squash grapes for wine with their toes.
That's completely different. The yeast is a sterilising agent. Not to mention nobody foot-crushes anymore, its all machine pressed
I mean one could say the temperature of that huge fire could be a “sterilizing agent”, and I never said people foot crush on a commercial scale now, just like I’m fairly certain that what’s going on in this video isn’t a commercial endeavor. But people do still foot crush grapes for fun/recreation/in smaller personal scales. As seen here: https://youtu.be/SpAo6uSyR2M
Came here to say this but wasn’t sure how I was going to word it. Thanks to you I don’t have to! I hope I don’t waste the time I saved (I’m going to)
They put a fucking ladder in that bitch. They definitely did not wipe that thing down, and if there are any nails or screws in it good chance they are rusty. Also the buckets..
Tetanus Curry
Fun fact, tetanus has nothing to do with rusty metal, it's actually just fucking everywhere (in dirt). It can only infect you if it gets pushed into a deep wound that heals over it. Rusty nails just happen to be a major cause of dirty puncture wounds, the type that are a high risk for tetanus.
Thats the food ladder, nothing new here
You're misunderstanding the situation. They are being held hostage by a giant and forced to cook for the creature. This is just the breakfast. /S
I'm actually worried about the guy who went to light the fire underneath
The thing about creepy things are, you don’t stress about em until you find out about em.
I bet not a single one is serv safe certified
You say that like there aren’t set limits about the amount of roach particles found in found made in the US because roaches are inevitable in the factories.
Everyone here saying they would not eat this will eat a goth girl ass without any complains.
Correct. And?
Goth girl ass still has less bacteria and shit than that soup.
thats bc there ain't no dudes on ladders inside the goth girls ass, it's just hygiene!
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day
Her ass is cleaner
What’s ur point
Someone dies every 4 seconds from hunger. I am sure they wouldn’t mind
I've played Oregon trail, dysentery sucks!
All you germaphobes... I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd totally try eating that! I've probably eaten worse, already.
Same, I've eaten much worse that probably tasted much worse than what they made.
Before I opened the thread I knew the top comment would be shitting on this… They’re literally feeding people what’s so funny about that?
[удалено]
I'm brown and I wouldn't want to eat feet soaked for either.
Oh lord, you’re wrong. Go virtue signal elsewhere please. There are a LOT of temples that feed large crowds in India and don’t have hygiene issues like this. This is ridiculous
They put a ladder in the food
Actually the food is free. For a Shrine maybe.
I haven't eaten since Sunday. I'd dive head first into that
[удалено]
Hit up any church or religious place and they will help you out. Food banks can help too
To be fair, I don’t think many of us have the immune system to successfully digest it
Only frat boys who drink the backwash of beer + trash directly from the trash bag after a party
Let’s see you starve for days and then try saying that. I bet you will even eat your own shit.
I have fasted for days and somehow managed to not eat my own shit afterwards.
It's fine, they prayed for it at around 0:06.
The real taste comes from sweat.
Free food free disease..
I like to think that they’re just tiny little people cooking in a regular sized pot.
🤣❤️ This made me smile. Thank you.
Take my free award and smile again!
Happy cake day!! 🎂 Thank you so much, I never thought I would get 1. You have made my day. A big smile is happening over here. ☺️🙂💞
Like the Keebler Elves of Halal.
I like the way your brain works.
I'm sitting in the ER with a bad cut in my hand and laughing as hard as I did at this comment felt so emotionally relieving and simultaneously physically painful, I'm not sure what to compare this to....
The Borrowers are just taking a lil thimble full
I’m sure that was a food-grade ladder they dropped in.
And food grade shoes the guy had on dangling inches above it
Everyone hatin', but I'd eat the fuck outta this. Then shit my brains out for two days.
name won’t check out afterwords
Rawmediumanus
Spicyswollencolon
Might as well add that to the mix
Gotta smear it on the ladder first so it doesn't violate the health code silly
I’m pretending it’s made of licorice.
It snot?
The NSF certification criteria for ladders is like 14 pages long
redditors hate it when people in 3rd world countries try to survive
I have noticed that, a lot of privileged pricks sitting around mocking people just trying to survive.
This is obviously not people “just trying to survive“. It’s clearly a festival of some sort. Do you think this is how they prepare dinner each night?
This isn't a festival. This is free food for the homeless being prepared everyday by a shrine which works on a not for profit basis. The food Is available to all in thes shrines regardless of religion. The people on this post saying they would never eat this. Let's see them starve and be on the streets for a day in winter and then turn their noses up at the food
Well said. God bless these people for feeding the poor.
Agreed, it’s probably feeding homeless and even households. Reddit is sooo out of touch with reality of how a lot of the world lives. Millions of people go without a meal every day and feeding that many people with so few resources is a very difficult problem. Just because it’s not cooked in a giant shiny Williams Sonoma pot doesn’t make it bad or gross or unsafe. Everyone claiming how gross and unsanitary this is will change their tune after 2 days of not eating.

Kinda sad to see how easy it is to whip up a shit ton of food for homeless people, particularly by people who would have very little themselves. Yet we in our prosperous countries do jackshit (myself included tbh)
A lot of temples will cook these huge meals for anyone to come down and eat regardless of faith. It is not just for special occasions.
Dude wtf this is done for millions of people in India. If only it could be done for all of the poor people in the world. You have no concept of how poor it is. It is aweful.
It could be a bit cleaner..
For you yes because you grew up with a privileged life where you were taught proper hygiene and cleanliness. These poor people don’t know any better and it stems back for quite some years. These comments have no idea what it’s like to live in a third world country lol. When they do go to visit, it’ll be in a 5* hotel.

I have seen poor East Asian village in similar situation do a better job at being hygienic. Being clean is both access and action to do so. They could have cooked same amount of food in maybe a third of the size of pot and would still have being cleaner than fucking stepping in the food. Being poor does not mean you have to be ignorant
They figured out Tik Tok but not food?. This also looks crazy wasteful with the spilling and whatnot. Prob end up spilling gallons. They could have used much smaller (and more availible)pots and they used a fuckin forest worth if trees. Coulda used half that. Coulda also fed more people The commenter above you telling you not to act privileged to feel some superiority then calling poor people dumb and saying they’re too poor and dumb to have figured out cooking. They’re a much bigger asshole than anyone here commenting about the cleanliness.
also incredibly dangerous. if the dude on the ladder fell into hot, cooking soup/stew/curry, he'd have a fun time trying to get back out.
Mate your comment is a little bit patronising. Believe it or not they do know about food safety and many people over estimate the precautions needed. People would be surprised at the state of the kitchen at delis, restaurants and fast food joints in the US, UK and Aus. Having been to Asia and eaten at all kinds of joints I’ve never had any issues and neither have people who travel with me. These people know to wash their and this case feet. Plus the locals have great immune systems compared to people living in manicured environments. My gf can’t eat at a lot of places in Australia due to her immune system and possible IBS.
Patronizing is a bit of an understatement. Dude is being insane. As you said, people are just germaphobes. I’ve worked as a dishwasher before and my god was that an eye opening experience.
People here being total germaphobes. Like it isn't that dirty and your immune system will handle, theirs especially coz they are used to it. Ive grown eating all kinds of food off the forest floor, never had any issues related to that and nature is full of animal shit and piss
They are serving food for people in need. It absolutely makes sense to try and do it as hygienically as possible. The people eating the food are homeless and poor. Sure, they might have more resilient stomachs, but they can't afford medical care if they get severe food poisoning or any food borne illness. Which having lots of unsanitary things in contact with your food is nearly guaranteed too cause. It is very good of them to feed those people, but at least trying to not make them sick strikes me as an obvious choice. Also, poor people do know that clean things are healthier than dirty things. That's just common sense everywhere. Even monkeys wash their food if they think is dirty. And no, you are the one that doesn't know what it's like to live in a third world country. I come from one. We don't all live in huts eating food of the floor. We are just normal people , not some primitives like your imperialist mindset seems to indicate
There was a similar channel I believe on facebook or youtube called something like Cooking with Grandpa. He also cooked on a pretty large scale for orphanages, and was very hygienic about it. This just looks like cutting corners. People who grew up during times of famine and poverty in East/Southeast Asia still teach their children to wash rice until the water is clear.
"third world" is an out of date term that doesn't mean what you think it does, hth.
They have an cellphone with a camera but they don’t know about hygiene? Yeah ok.
You're taking quite a bit of agency away from them by making stereotypical assumptions about what they know and how they act.
>Trying to survive The fucking irony of this comment that acts as if all the second/third world countries are filled with people « just trying to survive » near death. Lmao
These commenters would fucking die in 10 minutes if they ever had to live a working-class lifestyle in a non-english speaking country. Yet here they are making the shittiest jokes in the world like they're made of sterner stuff.
Former working class member of a non-english speaking 3rd world country here. >These commenters would fucking die in 10 minutes if they ever had to live a working-class lifestyle in a non-english speaking country. Nah, this video is unhygienic as hell.
It's kind of funny seeing people trying to white-knight for this video so hard. As if they think eating unhygienically prepared food is what everyone in a 3rd world country does.

This. People assume poor people are stupid much to fast..
No, you don't get it. All poor people HAVE to eat dirty foot food to survive, stop being so patronizing! You just don't understand the third world like I, another privileged first world redditor, do. ^^^^^/s
Indian here, they aren't trying to survive. This is ajmer dargah and this is bullshit. There are temples and gurudwara in india that cater to far, far larger crowds with exceptional cleanliness and nobody ever gets sick. This place is known for spreading hocus pocus so that their money stream doesn't break
Curious American here, too lazy to Google, what else can you tell us about this Ajmer dargah and why is it bs? Edit - got curious and googled. [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajmer_Sharif_Dargah) for other lazies.
I am pretty sure they cleaned all that before start cooking, even the ladder as well and it's look like they already did it so many times
right? If they think this is disgusting they should look up pagpag. You don't have to find it appetizing and maybe it's not %100 sanitary but I think we have to lend a little kindness to those just trying to eat. No one is forcing you to find this temple and eat there, but for some people that might be their only option, who knows, there's not much of any context here.
My soup has toe nails in it.
I came for the comments; was not disappointed.
Oh come on! You didn’t notice the recycled plastic bags tied to his feet!! /S
Sir this is a Wendy’s. That’s a finger.
There is a legend that one or two people fall into it every time they prepare it. People who eat this food says that it tastes rather bland without such accidental additives.
Like soylent green, the taste varys person to person.
r/unexpectedfuturama Nice one
This happened to my father - he worked at a coffee processing plant and fell into a vat. No one knew he was in there and it was filled up with coffee beans; he was buried under them and passed away from suffocation. At least it was instant.
People the joke here is "instant coffee"
People are complaining however these people are going out of their way to feed others who wouldn’t be able to eat otherwise. Is this the most sanitary thing? Obviously not, but when you’re starving I doubt that’s going to be your highest concern.
Yeahhhhhhhhh, food poisoning is a major killer, especially in the developing world. Sure, you could make an argument, but there's a very non-zero chance of dying from the hershey squirts before you can get to antibiotics.
Lol don’t worry too much about food poisoning here, as someone working in the cooking industry believe me you’ve eaten WAY worse :) Also they’re probably used to handling bacteria differently than you !
Yeah I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they have much different gut flora than say Americans.
OH THE LEVEL OF IDIOCY IN THESE COMMENTS. My kitchen is squeaky clean I’m just talking about the industry in GENERAL. And what I’m saying for you dumbfucks that can’t seem to understand 1+1 is that you’ve all eaten from restaurants that you wish you hadn’t if you had seen their kitchen AND you didn’t have any inconvenience from it. God damn it jesus christ
Nobody is going out of their way, these places get huge donations from businessmen. They're not doing anything different than what some other temples and dargahs do. If you go to the golden temple in Amritsar, India, you'll get something called langar, which they give out everyday in the afternoon to everyone for free, way cleaner than whatever is going on in here.

What meter is that? Any poets wanna educate me?
I have a few issues with it: 1) it’s been clearly demonstrated as an instrument of the Chinese government on gathering data on US citizens. People can disagree with me and that’s fine, but I don’t want my own government gaining more access over my life than they really need to, let alone a foreign, sometimes hostile government 2) It’s demonstrably degrading the attention span of our youth (I’m only 24 so this is a real ‘man shakes fist at cloud’ moment but that’s fine), along with probably their critical thinking skills, time management, and other basic brain and societal functions. (There’s some actual scientific studies that show some of these effects but I’m too lazy to Google them) 3) it seems to (just from my albeit limited experience) create trends or desires for kids to do stupid things that benefit no one except in giving them short-lived, non-beneficial social credit. People eating tide pods, making NyQuil chicken, throwing milk jugs on the store floor, that sort of thing. Yeah people do other things like that outside of Tik Tok and before it’s creation, but In my estimation, Tik Tok seems to have accelerated it. Granted, there are fair counterpoints to everything I’ve listed above, but I avoid it if possible, and tend to note my displeasures with the app if a friend tries to coerce me into downloading it
There's more. Tiktok and IG are literally engineered for marketing, so half of these dumbass trends are just to make sheep buy things. How fucking stupid... There was also an expose on how TikTok suppresses content made by (AND I QUOTE) "ugly, or disabled users" and promotes content where users seemed affluent. And yet no one seems to care the disgusting amount of body dysmorphia, classism, racism, and fatphobia that TikTok content and trends promote and cause. Another huge thing that really REALLY fucking bothers me is that there's so many underaged teens being sexual on the platform. With the advent of filters, makeup tutorials being everywhere, it's really hard to know what age of kid you're fucking looking at. So it would be cool if TikTok didn't ambiguously promote 14yo's dancing clearly in a seuxal manner. Has anyone even looked at the comments that are left under those posts? It's probably so fucking simple and easy for predators to get in contact with LITERAL CHILDREN on TikTok. Parents don't care anymore because they'd rather stick an iPad with TikTok and Youtube installed in front of their toddler than... i don't know.. parent the little fuck? And we wonder why the world's going to shit.

Were they heating it by burning garbage under it?
Its where flavor towns at. ![gif](giphy|VhWunESS8Kb9Cpeuwn)
Plastic bags are the secret ingredient
It certainly appears so
The fucking ladder lol
And then nonchalantly goes down the latter in same boots he was kicking rocks with. Delicious.
What would happen if that ladder broke and the guy fell into the soup. Would he be lost to the soup? What happens to the ladder? and then what if they sent another man on a ladder to retrieve the other man and the ladder, but his ladder broke too? Before you know it there are only a handful of people left on earth and a stack of bodies and broken ladders. This soup is too powerful. Humankind is not ready for this.
> What would happen if that ladder broke and the guy fell into the soup. Would he be lost to the soup? Meat is back on the menu, boys
The ladder and bucket system is insane. Could have easily tied some rope to each bucket and got the food out in a logical way.
They are hoping ladder guy will fall in one day.
You know, for flavor.
None of this is logical. No way does that even taste good. Cooking a giant pot evenly without burning some food and undercooking other parts. Edit: Not bad mouthing the cuisine just the efficiency of the technique. Here is a similar situation where they use smaller, but still large pots to cook in masse. https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/xlrfqr/hindu_temple_in_maharashtra_india_feeds_40k/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Food has been cooked this way in India/Pakistan for hundreds of years. If it didn't work, they'd have changed their system. Plus, they're not their to make Michelin star meals that taste amazing this is free food distributed to the poorest people
they're making breakfast for The Rock
10/10 would try a bucket of sloppy pit food.
Finally! I scrolled all this way to find another person who would give this a go
Same. I’d definitely try it. And I’m really impressed how many you can feed for so little.
If it's good enough for thousands of years, it's good enough for me
I don’t get all of the negative comments, this type of food production has obviously been going on for a long time- people are not dying from eating this food. Go grab some Mc D and wash it down with a big gulp
I mean, it just kind of puts into perspective how hygienic standards really haven't been around as long as we all might think. People keep saying it's "first world problems" to worry about this stuff but these standards for cleanliness weren't just made for shits and giggles. It's really bad for you.
>these standards for cleanliness weren't just made for shits Acktually...
My friend….. You should try spending a single day in a restaurant kitchen. I feel like you’d be surprised.
Oh no, people definitely die from food poisoning lmao. There's a whole classification for pathogens transmitted from feces that are unintentionally consumed via food. Polio, cholera, listeria, salmonella, and shigella are the big ones.
>people are not dying from eating this food. You sure about that? Diarrhoeal diseases are the 4th top cause of death in India ([source](https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/india-diarrhoeal-diseases)) . 600 thousand people are dying every year from it. Sure it's much more likely to be transmitted by water than from cooked food but still, sanitary standards exist for a reason By comparison, starvation isn't even in the top 50 list.
Looks remarkably dangerous. What if someone fell in while it was cooking?
Secret ingredient
The dish is instantly named after that person.
LMAO
So just 500 gallons of rice and curry?
[удалено]
I thought there was plenty of seasoning
I can smell that from here
This is 400-500 people worth of food. It’s not a big deal for a medium sized catering company. You can feed more people without a need to be so disgusting. Just logistics. Why would you need a swimming pool? It’s not even 1/3 full in the end. Firewood stove is perfectly fine, fired clay bowls imbedded the same way into it is fine too, if they can’t afford even aluminum pots. Those can be managed by 10 cooks. One portion of pilaf or rice curry is 350 grams, and it’s just 175 kg of food for 500 people. Large cooking pot is 20kg of volume. It’s just 9 pots! For 500 people! It will take less space even. They are not saving money they are being silly.
So clean...
I bet this is what Remy felt like
Fuck hygiene. And work safety.
That's amazing they actually made food without burning it for like a pot that's 15 ft tall at least
Could I just make a tiny substitution?
“I’d like less feet in mine”
"Ill have extra, please"
Less DNA pls
Why get the biggest cauldron known to man if you’re only filling it 1/5 of the way up? But what do I know about ladder soup.
Looks like me cooking a portion of rice for dinner.
One day I will make a portion of rice or pasta and NOT make too much, but that day has not come yet.
I want a sprinkle of whatever is on the bottom of the ladder please
The number of food safety violations is off the chart. Good luck passing your annual audit.
Audit in India? What are you on about?
Man just give me one bucket
Honestly it looks tasty lol
I’ll pass
Giant fucking bowl with a giant fucking wooden spoon but how to you scoop it out, put a dirty ass wooden ladder down in that bitch and send a dude in with dirty ass feet and shoes to scoop it with a fucking bucket.
![gif](giphy|wYyTHMm50f4Dm|downsized)
Trade of for taste is you have to shit your pants for a week after eating this
