Is it safe to eat from roadside food stalls?
Hi everyone! What's going on? I have just finished my dinner, and decided to write an article, before I go to sleep, as I also missed an article last night. I pondered for half an hour, but couldn't find anything to write, as my mind was wandering somewhere, so I consider it better to miss it, instead of publishing my blunders...lol
Yesterday, my cousin who was married a week ago, came to visit us with his wife. She is a charming person, and knows how to behave with others. After having some gossips, we served them with cake and drinks. My mom insisted them to stay for lunch, but they denied, because they were already invited at his friend's house. But they promised to come some other day, to join us for dinner.
Anyway, later I went out to buy some fruits with my mom. I wasn't in mood to go outside, but she insisted me to come. On the way I wanted to buy some burgers from food stall, but she never let me buy any, she always fears about hygiene. She always wants us to eat homemade foods, and she promised to buy something spicy at home, for me.
At first, I was sad as she never let me eat from food stall, but later what I heard from neighboring uncle, was even shocking for me. I was grateful to my mom, as she resists me from eating. As last night one of our neighbor arrived at our home, and told us about the sad incident which happened in the town.
A man live near our area, who came from abroad a month ago. Actually, his house was under construction, so he wanted to complete the construction work under his supervision. Last night he was out with his friends, and they forced him to eat burger from food stall. At first, he denied, but later convinced to have some. They bought three burgers, and after eating it, they left for their homes.
But as soon as they reached home, they felt pain in their stomach, and after some time their condition was worsened. Their families dropped them to hospital, where a man who lives in my town died immediately, and his two friends were still under critical situation. Doctors informed that the food they ate was poisoned, which has caused them serious illness. Now police is investigating, the food stall, as some other patients also come in same situation.
I was shocked to hear this, as in the afternoon I also insisted my mom to buy me burgers from food stall. Hearing this, she also said, this was the reason I always keep you away eating from outside. I am feeling bad for their families, and I pray the ones who are in hospital be safe, and get well soon. The one who left this world, rest in peace forever.
The food we eat from outside, there is always a case of hygiene, so we should always prefer to eat homemade foods. Nothing is difficult, nowadays, internet is available to help us, as we can find different recipes of anything we want to cook or bake. Be safe everyone, and be careful always, whatever you choose to eat.
Thanks for reading.
Here are my lovely sponsors, go and read their amazing articles. I am sure you would be glad to read their incredible work. I am grateful to them for believing me.
I love street foods but I have to care for myelf too. Cooking our own food is far way better than buying. It is more healthier and safer.
