Street Food: Asia

Watched this couple of days ago and I'm proud that my country was in it. People be saying "stop using the hands to prepare the dishes, where's the hygiene" please, you were never here to begin with, we've been doing that for ages and if the hygiene was so important wouldn't we be dead by now? Leave our tradition the way it is, if you feel like there's no hygiene serving food by hands then this food/series aren't meant for you, case closed. Let us the brave eat them, more food for us.

I watched every episode today and was fully absorbed into it. I want more!

I have not seen too many food shows. Saw this featured on Netflix and decided to give it a go and just finished the Delhi episode. It has a very nice format that runs smoothly first exploring the history of the food featured and focuses on the life story of a street vendor although it does show others as well. The style works quite well as are the animations and soundtrack. Other shows can be irkingly sensationalist in their presentation with the host hogging the attention instead of the subject material. One thinks of the typical Western foreigner just going around. But the focus on just one individual and his struggles to be able to cater to common people just going about their day was a refreshing take. Very inspirational and down-to-earth. Looking forward to finishing this. Shows that food is not just about eating. It's about people.

It's about people and there stories, culture and food. It's great, colorful and lovely.

It's an amazing docuseries that shows not just a selection of famous street food from Asian countries but also the social and historical context behind theses dishes. I hope to see more seasons. Latin America would be a great option for the next one.
