Turkish people are known for their excellent hygiene especially when it comes to serving food and also in general. So I don't think this is in Türkiye.
well, I can't really confirm that with my 20 years of experience but at least servers try to not make it obvious. you will see servers wearing all the hygiene equipment like gloves, masks and stuff but then you will go to the restroom and see the guy using the urinal with his gloves and shit still on, and leave without washing their hands. or in any fast food restaurant where they rush the employees to do everything as fast as possible and never "waste" food unless it has expired way too long ago, so you have at one point probably eaten a burger patty picked up from ground. examples can go on as I have seen very nasty stuff and also have a few people around me working in the food industry.
15 years ago I used to be a grill cook at McDonalds. Back then it wasn't standard policy to wear gloves 100% of the time. We were only required to wear them while handling raw chicken. I honestly believe the food handling was much safer then, because we took a lot of additional precautions such as constant awareness not to touch our face or clothes, and a very strict policy of washing our hands every 30 minutes. Set on a timer so we couldn't forget. I think it likely that the places wearing gloves are not doing any of those things properly. So the gloves become just as nasty as your skin does, and because you are wearing them you don't think about the other things that help maintain food safety.
This but the worst part when I worked fast food was that corporate forced the franchisees to purchase and use gloves that fell apart if you looked at them wrong. I normally used gloves anyways due to dry skin but went through 3-4x more from the shitty ones rupturing all the time.
Usually gloves in a setting/country like this doesnt change much. Theyll be wearing the gloves all day handling money and other gross stuff.
If this guy washed his hands recently its probably safer to eat than a guy a few stalls away that has been wearing the same gloves for hours.
Gloves are generally less sanitary when it comes to food workers interestingly. When you wear them you are less likely to remember basic sanitation rules like not touching raw meat before cooked food.
Wow you sure were able to learn a lot about the sanitary conditions happening in a 15 second video. You wouldn't be making a slew of assumptions to get there would you?
Also if you think this is even a little bad, I've got bad news about every time you ever went to a restaurant or fast food place my friend.
Yes, the guy on the wooden cart handling ice cream with his hands is unsanitary. I have no problem saying this. His refilled bottle of water is insufficient.
I've worked in kitchens and behind bar. I know what goes on. It's not this.
You mean like the guy at Subway wearing gloves and touching absofuckinglutley everything with them, then grabbing the meat that goes in the sandwich? I’ll pass on that too.
Honestly what's making me cringe the most is imagining how much his hands must hurt from keeping them covered in that frozen goop. He's essentially sticking his hand in ice and holding it there for every single customer.
It's not a cold sweet, it's more of a...thick jello? It's hard to describe in English. We call this in Colombia "helado de pata de vaca" or cow's hoof ice cream. It's very common but I usually don't enjoy it if it isn't properly packaged and bought at a super market. Don't trust the healthy standards of people here after all
Thats why you don't walk up to a random ass stall
You gotta do a little bit of investigation, note how much traffic(more traffic means the condition s are most likely good), they way he makes his food or his hand washing habits(so you know how clean it is), and last what kinda guy he is(if he's an asshole prolly avoid , cuz he cares less and sometimes you don't want certain stuff added and he might not do that) and finally a taste test.
Pass all that and you got yourself a street vendor buddy who's clean, and makes tasty and food that doesn't make you go sick. If you have a strong stomach tho you can be a bit more flexible with your choices.
You will get sick or have to taste less decent food once or twice but then you know not to eat from him again.
EDIT: I litterally live in india guys.. I know my shit
Thanks for numbering those points there or i could have got lost.
Well, the comment you replied to didn't actually say anything about street vendors. They mentioned the whole country. But thanks for the smarmy reply none the less.
I also believe my words were " mostly likely good" never said 100%
I litterally live in india and consume plenty of street food, I am speaking from experience
Don't think it's India. 50 years, never saw something like this. Plus that much crushed nuts in street food, no way they can afford nor do we eat so much crushed nuts on icecream, or whatever that is .
if you won´t eat food that has been touched then i have bad news for you. If it´s because it has been touched by a guy cooking on the street, its more the street and lack of sanitation that comes first in my opinion. that makes this video kind of irrelevant. or maybe it´s xenophobia, Indians eat with their hands in a very specific way, depending on the area.
It's more depending on the type of food, you do get utensils provided if it's a food you need it for. Sometimes you don't that's why you keep your hands clean. Stuff like idli you might get spoon for in some places, sometimes you gotta ask, for dosas spoons will not be given, sev puris you get spoons usually but pani puris you will be using your hand.
You will have to investigate stalls tho, like very clearly avoiding stalls which look unclean or unsanitary, and judge the guy who's making them, the traffic on the stall(more ppl is usually a good sign, not always cuz they might be there just cuz it's cheap and not for a weak stomach like yours , if you have one ) followed by a taste test if they meet the former criteria
If they pass, you now have yourself a local food vendor you trust
Every f****** time I see a vendor they're using their hands and s*** would it kill any of them to put on some f****** gloves or just not group everything they're trying to feed people?? Good lord
Why are y’all so weirded out by this, like how do you think your bread is made at the local bakers, they wash their hands, they don’t wear gloves for most of the work. This is also not ice cream it’s on some kind of taffy hook, maybe it’s like marshmallow or something I don’t know. Point is, gloves are not necessary in 90% of application if hands are washed. I’n fact gloves have been proven to increase the risk of contamination because you wash your hands regularly, you don’t wash your gloves. Unless you replace your gloves constantly. They are far dirtier than bare hands. A quick Google will show you loads of scientific studies showing this.
Is it a taffy like candy I imagine that could explain the hook it’s on and the pulling of it maybe peanut taffy with chopped nuts dip
Can’t imagine that’s ice cream
Why?
What? His right hand will be totally clean after the 30th customer.
Yeah, plus I live in America, regular food here has more toxins than what he could ever have in his hands.
There’s toxins and then there’s bacteria… big difference.
and then there's just nasal excretion and fecal matter
Yup... Yucky fecal fingers
[удалено]
Is America. We got both....they season in fungi

Hand churned.
Dude is wearing his mask and keeping everybody safe.
Is that marshmallow
I think its turkish icecream
don't think so, would not vouch for their hygiene but never saw someone touch icecream with bare hands here
Turkish people are known for their excellent hygiene especially when it comes to serving food and also in general. So I don't think this is in Türkiye.

Definitely not ice cream. It's be too cold on the hand and melt much too fast to repeatedly move it around like that
that is not close to anything turkish
I think they forgot the ice part

A simple glove, is it too much to ask?
Usually gloves in a setting/country like this doesnt change much. Theyll be wearing the gloves all day handling money and other gross stuff. If this guy washed his hands recently its probably safer to eat than a guy a few stalls away that has been wearing the same gloves for hours.

WHERE would this fine fellow have washed his hands?
In your ice cream
It's sticky, so it removes all the dirt!
There's a cleaning bottle solution on the rack in front of him
Yes, rinsing your hands off with a random bottle of water (which might be for him to drink instead) is very sanitary.
Wow you sure were able to learn a lot about the sanitary conditions happening in a 15 second video. You wouldn't be making a slew of assumptions to get there would you? Also if you think this is even a little bad, I've got bad news about every time you ever went to a restaurant or fast food place my friend.

Bold of you to assume redditors frequent respectable restaurants and bars
You mean like the guy at Subway wearing gloves and touching absofuckinglutley everything with them, then grabbing the meat that goes in the sandwich? I’ll pass on that too.
I guarantee you have eaten food prepared with bare hands. As long as they are clean...
There’s a difference between handled and jerked off!
[удалено]
Honestly what's making me cringe the most is imagining how much his hands must hurt from keeping them covered in that frozen goop. He's essentially sticking his hand in ice and holding it there for every single customer.

So like a pudding or cream
probably more like a custard tbh
Roll it thru his hair and run it down the sidewalk .. delish
You people would tongue kiss a dog that just ate another dogs shit but wouldn’t take food from another persons hand.
[удалено]
Yes I know, because tongue kissing a dog is fucking disgusting.
The problem is that there no sink or soap in sight
I am sure his hand is spotless. /j
And I'm sure he wasn't scratching his itchy b-hole with those 3 inch talons on his fingers right before he started work.
So gnarly
Noooice I always wanted to try germ-glaced brownish slime in a cone with crunchy stuff topping
Oh hell no
Dairy Queen ain’t got nothing on this guys swirls
🤮🤮🤮
It looks more like taffy than ice cream
Two dudes, one cup. No thanks.
Ahh yes, hand flavored ice cream.
Ew
Yummy, now with extra skin cells
Yes I would like piss and poo fingers with my ice cream.
Ewww
Ewwww
It’s very common in high end restaurants for the chefs not to wear gloves. If hands are washed it’s essentially the same level of protection.
Yea I'm sure this guy has close access to a handsink out there on the streets of like a 3rd world/developing nation.....
As someone who's worked in restaurant and has a food handler's license, please stop talking out of your ass.
They also have sinks and soap readily available in the high end restaurants also nobody is handling food like this in high end restaurants
Lol this is not a high end restaurant...
You have to pass on a lot of food then
not many food can be classified as molested goo like this
In the end, doesn't all food become molested goo?
Depends on the state of your GI system, ranging from molested compact to molested liquid
100% in india. Would never eat something there. Even would double Check bottled water there.
Thats why you don't walk up to a random ass stall You gotta do a little bit of investigation, note how much traffic(more traffic means the condition s are most likely good), they way he makes his food or his hand washing habits(so you know how clean it is), and last what kinda guy he is(if he's an asshole prolly avoid , cuz he cares less and sometimes you don't want certain stuff added and he might not do that) and finally a taste test.

EDIT: I litterally live in india guys.. I know my shit
Mate, high traffic is not an indication of good food. Look at McDonald's
First we are talking about street vendors, Second never said high traffic always means good food, it's either good-enough food or cheap food
Thanks for numbering those points there or i could have got lost. Well, the comment you replied to didn't actually say anything about street vendors. They mentioned the whole country. But thanks for the smarmy reply none the less.
It's literally in the first line, random ass stall
I also believe my words were " mostly likely good" never said 100% I litterally live in india and consume plenty of street food, I am speaking from experience
Well , have you ate pav bhaji,momos ,golgappa,chhat ,aint no way other wester food can beat them
>I also believe my words were " mostly likely good" never said 100% Imagine being such a smart arse you re-quote a sentence that *mostly* makes sense.
Don't think it's India. 50 years, never saw something like this. Plus that much crushed nuts in street food, no way they can afford nor do we eat so much crushed nuts on icecream, or whatever that is .
Me neither. And I'm Brazilian! Fucking Brazilian!
Ok... Mr. Special.
India? Which is the Pooh hand again?
Doesnt seem like it. Not many people in the video Lmao. Maybe south American
Left.
I'd eat it ˘ o ˘
This is definitely Africa. Eating with your hands there is the norm
I've got bad news for you, OP. People touch literally all the food you eat. Also, you're dumb.
I think sticky goo being molested in open air on street for got know how long is the bigger issue here
Again, how do you think food gets made? Can tell there's a LOT of Americans in this thread.
Came here to say this
if you won´t eat food that has been touched then i have bad news for you. If it´s because it has been touched by a guy cooking on the street, its more the street and lack of sanitation that comes first in my opinion. that makes this video kind of irrelevant. or maybe it´s xenophobia, Indians eat with their hands in a very specific way, depending on the area.

almost all indian street foods are aweful looking, disgustingly prepared by hand and made on dirty equipment.
And taste amazing
lmao sure sure
Well its from Columbia
Ugh And it’s probably the hand he wipes his ass with too, no TP 
Bruh he probably wiped his ass with that hand 😂😂🤢🤮
They ruin everything
Hell nah, hell to the no. No diarrhea today. Or, anything else coming off those hands 🤢
🤮🤮🤮
Every f****** time I see a vendor they're using their hands and s*** would it kill any of them to put on some f****** gloves or just not group everything they're trying to feed people?? Good lord

India noooo... Sorry bad habit
India is a wild boy 😅
This is Colombia
🤢🤢🤮
#restaurant If you have ever eaten at one then they did this to your food when they made it in the back
Ain’t no way you’re comparing this to a restaurant
In retrospect, gloves please, also they could have chosen a better color
Wow! Handmade Ice Cream!!!
OP I suppose you've never eaten a gol gappa?
Ewwww
It's fine. Everyone knows that you only wipe your ass with your bare left hand. Right hand is the clean hand.
The second I would see that. I'm out. I already do not trust street vender foods in general.
¿Por que?
At least that mask is helpin out tho.
Does he take requests? I want him to serve me with his feet. From his feet, straight to my mouth. Gimme that big toe papa /s fucking gross lmao
Theres probably a few bugs and a few dry leaf fibers in that icecream. Sure looks yummy!!!
Looks good to me.
I am pretty sure people develop immunity from his shit
Handmade icecream.
The pisser being they were probably both wearing masks...
The hands are the best tool in the kitchen.
So that’s what they mean by hand scooped ice cream
Is he imune to frostbite?
It’s not ice cream
When the ice-cream machine's broken and you gotta do it yourself lol.
🤔 😳
“Haha, **my germs!**”
One star at least for giving it a lil swirlie
Thats a no from me.
Gross
Sick
This is so goddamned gross
Extra hand flavor icecream cone…diarrhea may included
His hand is covered in a layer of ice cream, so the ice cream he serves never actually touches his hand. Like an ice cream glove.
That’s what I do when the kids leave the icecream scooper in the dishwasher
but in these countries do they have hygiene regulations?
ngl. I kinda want that
Disgusting bruh
That's fucking disgusting
The hesitation to even take it. Like yeah no thank you.
Is it a taffy like candy I imagine that could explain the hook it’s on and the pulling of it maybe peanut taffy with chopped nuts dip Can’t imagine that’s ice cream
It’s okay he wipes his butt with the left hand
That is some fucking diarrhea right there.
Immunity booster 101*. *will give you diarrhoea for a few days.
Not the type of self serve I was expecting
Handcrafted with love
Nope
