bows00 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 I am currently studying culinary and attending community college classes back home in Hawaii. And I love Angeles for the variety of restaurants here, and most of the establishments are good, or at least decent to my standards, but there are some that just are dirt crap. For example, I just ate at the Mother Indian restaurant near Fields where the food - and service, was disgusting. I should have known better when I entered the establishment and realized I was the only customer there. In the end, I spent 685p for a meal I could barely take down. And I left two pieces of BBQ chicken and half a plate of stale fried vegetables when I left. So it got me wondering... do the workers end up eating the food I left behind? This practice would be grounds for firing an employee back in the US, but in the Philippines?? The waitress asked "Take Away"? I said "Hell No". She smiled and eagerly took the plates away.... got me wondering... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy79 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Sad to say from my experience there is one culture where their hygiene standards purely from my experience is horrendous. I won't name them for fear of offending Indians. I used to help Sheriff Officers carry out warrants on businesses that hadn't been paying their dues. On average 9 out of 10 were The same type of restaurant. I would pick the locks when the business was closed to gain entry and the sights I saw would turn your stomach. Food open to the air, crawling with flies the odd mouse dropping. Where the food was covered at times they'd placed the old cleaning clothes or workers clothes over it. In one restaurant there was no CR. The workers had been using the sink where they washed dishes and cleaned the food. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who worked for the US Dep of Agriculture as a meat inspector for a time. After that job, he became a vegetarian... Your post has maybe put me off Indian restaurants for life, at least here in the Philippines.. I love Indian food, but will continue to just make it myself, even though it may not be quite authentic always... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity, because I love the food despite the fact it seems I was dicing with death each time I had a meal in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada I have seen stoned and drunk patrons show up at a restaurant and eat the food scraps left on the table by the previous customer. I have seen road kill collected by Dept of Fish and Wildlife and donated to people on Social Welfare to eat. On the other hand, people who used to collect restaurant or grocery store food scraps to feed their pigs are no longer allowed to do so. Its a funny world we live in.

At the risk of making a political statement here... Our "governments" spend an awful lot of time protecting us from ourselves. Part of that is the "sue you, sue me Blues." Part of it is watching how stupid some people really seem to be... Yep... it is a funny world... and a strange strange trip it's been... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
