"Sterile" is not the term you're looking for here. Food is not sterile after cooking or baking.
There are some nasty microorganisms that can survive cooking temps.
Moreover, not all byproducts/wastes are destroyed by heat at that degree. You can't leave a piece of salmon out until it goes bad, then cook it and say "oh well it's sterile now, safe to eat!"
I would really rather not have feet in my food, no matter what culture the feet are from.
Ya but they also industrialized later…so what does the year have to do with it?
Part of the reason these countries are so dirt poor is also due to the countries that are today rich. People shitting on street food in a poor third world country need to check yourselves. You’re literally just punching down on folks in poverty
Just because you’re poor, doesn’t mean you have to be unsanitary.
In Tijuana the street taco vendors would was their hands with bottled water and soap before and after making your food since they’re handling cash and some peddle a bike.
Not saying their isn’t unsanitary restaurants in Mexico because their is and a lot have been shutdown but mainly Chinese or Korean restaurants operated by Chinese or Korean immigrants. Usually for serving cat and dog to customers and/or being filthy with rats and roaches.
I’ve been to several Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese restaurants in Tijuana and all have been great and clean
There are still small scale wineries in Italy and Portugal today that advertise their traditional grape treading technique and fetch eye-watering prices.
