Morning everyone, do you prefer eating street foods while you are really hungry and just cant control.
Here in India Mumbai you will find hundreds of stalls scattered everywhere mostly nearby offices.
People are so much in a hurry to reach their offices early morning that they prefer to skip their breakfast.
Once they have logged in their office on time you will find them eating all this junk foods.
I actually don't prefer eating these street foods because they are sometime unhygienic and not sure if they use good quality products for preparing those foods.
I would prefer to be late to office instead of eating this junk and taking my health for granted.

I used to eat street foods because they are really delicious, however I stopped when I started having allergies in my body. I am now more picky when it comes to buying food.

That's the problem these foods do taste good and look delicious but are they really healthy? The products they use at times are not quality based that's to reduce the prices. You please avoid them completely instead prepare them at home.

@nitirrbb7 I did, Nitin. Thank you for the concern. I would tell my husband that too so we wont get sick. There are a lot of diseases that we get from them too. I find them unclean after I got allergies.

I guess it depends on what they have to feed us.

I understand what you are saying dear friend. Whenever I used to be in Mumbai when I was in my thirties I used to have lot of Vada Paos and Pav Bhajis as my staple food. I never had any set back then. This I used to do because of lack of time plus to enjoy the typical Bombaiyya taste! Thanks @nitirrbb7!

That's true these foods get you addicted first its because of the time lack then its the taste. I often wonder why don't they taste the same when made at home.

We do have some street vendors, and the farmers market cooks too, but the flies, and such getting on the food is a turn off for me.

That's what really make me feel sick when you see those flies and at times they even don't prefer using gloves while serving

Yeah they don't use good quality foods to prepare them that causes health issues. Good you don't have them.

Street foods can be addictive but I rarely eat them unless I’m dying of hunger. I prefer homemade meals

We have lots of street food vendors here in my country but I'm not used to eat them but there was a time that I needed to eat because my friends were teasing me I didn't want to feel them that I'm a choosy person so I just ate it's kind of okay because the vendor was clean.

Around here in the States there aren't many places like this. This is partly due to very strict standards and licensing for anything food related in the United States. We do have food trucks, but even they are very highly regulated. Not just anyone can just cook food and sell it without proper licensing and food standards inspections.
