I am not as strict as you all are but I have seen homes that are even worse.
Andy,What bothers me more than the cook's personal cleanliness habits is seeing my host's cat wandering all over the kitchen counter as food is being prepared. I immediately lose my appetite.
that makes two posts in a row forgotten to hit "reply" where was I???
I'd be upset if I saw a naked member of the family on all fours on the kitchen counter as well.Andy,
You see a cat, they see a member of the family.
Laughing because it's true. Good point.I'd be upset if I saw a naked member of the family on all fours on the kitchen counter as well.

Here in India, people are not that concerned about hygiene and cleanliness. Street food is quite popular here, and I see people eating food of street vendors located across the sewer line. Even if a street vendor keeps their workplace clean, air and water pollution, dust and particulate matter in the air make it hard to eat healthy.Do you have family or friends that you know are not hygienic while cooking and you refuse to eat anything they make? I'm just curious.
I've been to your country 3 times, love India, and one of the reasons is for the food which really means street food for the most part and have never fallen sick, maybe I'm lucky. Indian people aren't too concerned because they're use to it and most haven't fallen sick, so it's not that important to them generally speaking. Your right, the sanitation and living conditions are not ideal. People of India have become accustomed to this biologically, their immune systems have become accustomed to most of their local pathogens.Here in India, people are not that concerned about hygiene and cleanliness.

Agree! 100%Over sanitizing is a thing and has biological repercussions that most people don't really understand but nevertheless, it is a reality, including washing hands too much.
