Its most delicious food ever . We love indian spices in iran .

They literally eat processed foods all the time and they're afraid of Indian food!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Use of spices like Turmeric, cinnamon, coriander etc builds strong immunity and doesn't kill u.

India is a vegetarian’s heaven!!!! The food is the most delicious with immense variety of flavours!!!!I love it...❤️

if indian food kills , we wouldn't be 1 billion strong!! 😂😂

God.... Anderson Cooper is really fitting the American tourist stereotype, traveling to Ukraine and eating spaghetti all week instead of trying out the cultural food.

How are people so ignorant. Indian food is literally vegetarian: healthiest as could be 🤦‍♂️

People who drink alcohol so much, whose breakfast, lunch and dinner comes from restaurant, they are even thinking indian food will kill them. HA😆

It pisses me off so much when people say foreign foods (or foods not made in a sterille environment) have food poisoning, and then later go eat at Burger King, as if fast food chains are less harmful for you than the food made with real ingredients..

Indian vegetarian food is not wimpy, pretentious and overelaborately refined meat replacement like so much of Western veggie food. It is a real entity all to itself, and has thousands of years of history behind it. I so respect Bourdain for not being a vegetarian snob in this case. I now realize that much of his vegetarian dissing is based on a deep understanding of what the joy of eating, the soul of eating, is all about. Too bad animals have to be killed though. Signed, Vegetarian Guy..

As a white, anglo-saxon, protestant married to an English born Sikh lady, I can attest to the fabulousness of Indian vegetarian cooking. My favourite dishes my wife makes are all ones which I would never have ordered in an Indian restaurant eleven years ago. And PS, how sad that Anthony Bourdain is gone.

I feel offended whenever in a food reaction videos, Americans smell our food and make weird faces before even trying it. 🙄

Most Indians know not to avoid street food but water from restaurants and such that's what's dangerous (as an Indian myself)

Love Indian food. Been there 5 times. Never got stomach flu. I avoid ice cream, ice, drinks not in a can or bottle, uncooked salads. Ate all else. Delicious.

Eat at an Indian's home. That's real Indian food, not those that you eat in restaurants.

Turmeric is actually a very effective anti inflammatory spice. It is really good for your health and is a fundamental spice in Indian cuisine.

As a person who grew up in India and lives in US now, I can tell you that street food will not kill you. However, get your own bottle of water. Also, one has to realize that a lot of the food over here in US comes from horrible sources as well. Look at McDonalds, or the street side hot dogs. So if you are okay with eating that, you should be okay with Indian street food as well.

Real Indian food is the best in the world

There are two godly cuisines in the world in my opinion Indian and Italian. The real Indian and italian. The more complex Indian food is the simpler is Italian food. Both the best examples of their kind.

INDIAN FOOD IS GENUINLY "THE BEST" OF THIS PLANET... NO DOUBTS AT ALL

Yep, the vegetarian food in India is godlike compared to Americas.

Na I would rather eat Indian food than artificial food 🤦‍♀️

Best indian food is home made. Its cleaner and has less oil.

As an Indian when I travelled through southern California only time I got sick because of the food was the Hotel Breakfast buffet .

Pani Puri, Shevpuri, bhelpuri... The best streetfood I had in India 🤩😍

Here's a pro tip for any foodie being adventurous on street foods, "if everyone eats there that place is safe."

You will forever be missed legend ,rest in paradise !

I pity the vegans who haven't had indian food

..Indian food is my absolute favorite food ...ever.. if I could have Indian/Pakistani food every day.. I would.. I was a narrow minded American when it came to trying other things until my mid 20's.. now I feel bad for folks who won't try new things 🤓

Indian food is fantastic, I been eating it all my life, it's yummy, love you Mr bourdain god bless .

Damn after this Lockdown, I'm going on a Indian-Food-Eating Spree.

Indian food won't kill you, but Chinese food definitely can!

Indian cuisine is a cornucopia of tastes, colours and varieties. Thank you Anthony Bourdain for saying nice things about our food and thank you for visiting us. You will be missed.

I'm Indian, and I came back to watch this video after hearing about his passing. Anthony Bourdain was a gift to the culinary world, right from his line cook days to his travel shows. His attitude, best summed up by his quote 'İ'm not afraid to look like an idiot' is exactly why he is so universally loved and the precise reason why he seems so real despite living a life that few of us would ever live. I miss you, Anthony. You taught me to enjoy good food and drink and most importantly to enjoy it with good people. Wherever you are, I hope you are at peace and that they don't serve a breakfast buffet.

spaghetti Bolognese three meals a day for two weeks... thats messed up

I love the fact that these two were buddies

The general rule of the thumb is that eat anything from street side which is properly heated prior to serving (High temperatures kill the germs, if any). Most Indian cuisine is served hot anyway. Avoid unfiltered water, other cold drinks, salads, yogurt, or pretty much anything which is not cooked & heated, when eating from Indian streets.

Is he out of his mind . Indian food is literally best in the world

I’ve been to India once and Pakistan a handful of times. I remanence about the food from both countries all the time. Food is the soul of South Asia, it’s the mark of true love. It’s what unites friends and families together.

Indian food has some of the most delicious vegetarian dishes in the world. Period. They've been perfected over a millennia. (and I'm not vegetarian)

"Indian food won't kill you. Only YOU can kill you."-Anthony Bourdain, Goodnight Sweet Prince

I love Indian food, can't go a week without eating it, I'm not a fan of vegetarian food either, but India having a large Hindu population has many great examples, as does Ethiopian cuisine.

Title: "says Indian" Indians: We have been Summoned!! 🤣

I'm American of Italian and German heritage and I love Indian food! It's easily one of my favorite cuisines, along with Mexican and Lebanese.

"I've done some good in the world" he says jokingly. Yeah, I can say you have. You've influenced and motivated a lot of people to see food for more than just something you shove into your face, but to see it as a sensory experience. Rest in peace you magnificent bastard.

I just love the flavors of indian food like curry and the spices. As long as the food is prepared and cooked adequately it’s safe. There is more danger in eating raw foods

The best food I have had, in my entire life time, has been in India!! No doubts! Quality and taste has been superb, both at the small local restaurant and at the fancy hotels. Actually, when I got back to Denmark, it got a classical danish hotdog in the airport, just to try that abrupt shift from what I had last two weeks, and you know what, the hotdog made my sick! I will chose indian any time!

It's not the food that kills. It's the water that's not bottled. I'm Indian from India.

Anderson Cooper is annoying. A mind so closed to other cultures. His career consisted of going to other countries, then reporting from their glitzy hotels. This hesitation with other peoples' foods is a symptom of being isolated from other people. Plenty of local New Yorkers go to Indian restaurants without such fear of spice.

Honestly Indian food especially Punjabi food isn't even that spicy. Yes you can add more spice according to your taste but normally it's very tolerable. I feel like it's very overly exaggerated. And the stall food isn't honestly one of the best food, but yeah bring your own bottle or brink bottled water only.

Malai kofta + saffron rice + naan bread = 11/10 meal

I traveled all over India Bengaluru, Jaisalmer, Delhi, Veranasi, Hyderabad.... I love the foods there. So diverse.

Come on Anderson how can you sound so uninformed? Indian vegetarian food is great. Is it really that much of a surprise?

Anthony Bourdain, I will forever miss your show. Rest in Peace.

He is right bout hygiene....it is something we have to improve a lot

Bourdain got me interested in worldy cuisines, his passion about the people and the food was so captivating...I miss you Bourdain 🥺

vegetarian food is lot safer than meat foods.

ok you westerners, here me out cuz i have a revelation for you. you need to know once and for all that, the first few times we south asians try your food it makes us crap too much too, it's just what you call "the body getting adjusted to the new diet in its system" whether the food is healthy or not. get it?!! cuz you have suddenly consumed something out the routine in terms of your regular diet for your body. so it's just what the human body does. secondly,...jeeezz indian food is relatively healthier!!! yess!! daaayyymmm! just like any other ethnic cuisine is. When it's comes to nutrition let me open your eyes that most indian food veg or non-veg is primarily organic veggies/poultry that we shop locally, less processed in relatively cheaper, and traditionally healthy ways(depending on how good of a host you have) and is surely nutritious & healthy enough or should I rather say certainly better in some cases than the highly-processed-additive containing-nutritionless synthetic western food, packaged, shelved, for god knows how long with preservatives, food that most probably has mold and yeast from poorly managed food processing units, long preserved packaged meats with tape worms and shit. :| Thirdly, when it comes to matter of "eating with hands", even the wealthiest of wealthy people in india have to eat certain food with hands, cuz that's just the proper etiquette and tradition, done hygienically by washing hands with soap before and after the meal(part of our dining routine in an indian setting), and whether it's a restaurant or at a friend/host's house our dining areas are equipped with a sink and some form of soap. So the next time when the subject of Indian food and health comes up in your conversations remember this comment. ok?!! :) thanks and come again! bye bye! :)

I am Asian so I was brought up on Indian food. I have been 2 the Indian subcontinent & I have never been sick eating anything never got diarrhora not even once. That's the best place in the world for Asian food

Such a beautiful man he was , RIP🙏🏽

I have no problem eating street food because for the most part you can see thr food being prepared and cooked right in front of you. You don't get that at most restaurants.

"This really destroyed my safe food " , yeah no this destroyed your ignorance

So knowledgeable Anthony is!!

If I had only one countries food to eat the rest of my life, it would be India.

The key is to know what to avoid in India. Let me lay down a few thumb rules: 1) For small meals, avoid anything that costs less than 50 Rupees. 2)For main meals, like lunch and dinner, avoid anything that costs less than 140 Rupees per person. 3) Eat in proper restaurants. Do not eat street food. Eat the same items that street food sellers sell at covered restaurants. 4)Drink only bottled water. 4 good brands are Bisleri, Kinley, Aquafina and IRCTC. Make sure the seal of the bottle isn't broken when you are buying the bottle. 5) Eat in moderate quantities. Indian food is delicious, but you gotta control yourself, as it can be very heavy. 6)Eat only one heavy meal a day. A light meal can consist of curd(yoghurt) rice, vegetable salad, rice and lentils(daal) and boiled eggs. 7) Buy and eat lots of fresh fruits. Don't buy cut fruits, as they may be unhygienic. Buy them whole and cut it yourself at the hotel. 8) Drink 7-8 litres of water every day. If you get gas or acidity, then buy 'ENO' from any medical store and drink it. You'll be fine in a few minutes. Follow these thumb rules, and you'll be fine in India. Cheers!

well traveled? not cooper

Indian food is the cleanest food , they don't eat animal pluck and blood

In Indian food, spices are the reason which makes the consumer's immune system better. In Ayurveda, each Indian spice is mentioned to used to cure multiple diseases. When right proportions of spices are added to food, it becomes an everyday natural health supplement.

0:25 " Well I've done some good in the world".. yes you have Anthony, thank you for all you've done, we'll deeply miss you, Rest In Peace

What kind of title is that?

God, I miss this man so much. RIP Tony.

Almost a year after he's gone. Been watching most of his shows and travelog and love his sarcasm. RIP Anthony Bourdain.

"Bolognese" is Anderson's safe word? Good to know :-)

Americans are the few people I know that see food as just “fuel”. Yes it’s fuel but it’s also a big central part of families, it’s a process, a ritual sometimes, a moment of gathering and socializing, a sense of pride for many. To see it as just “fuel”, is kinda sad.

I think Bourdain is being a bit too generous here. As someone who grew up here and visited India regularly, you absolutely can get sick eating Indian street food. It won't kill you, but its an extremely unpleasant experience. Tyler Cowen, notable foodie, suggests to avoid places where you don't know where the water source is coming from. Indians living there have a built up immunity, but westerners do not. That said, when you go to reputable places, the food is amazing. And the meat and fish dishes are superlative.

I live this man. I have been to India and I agree the street food is great. One stall I returned 4 times to is one where all the man made and served were fried onions. They were thinly sliced red onions dusted with chickpea flour and deep fried. Then the were presented in a hand rolled paper cone. They were served a great sauce. I couldn't get enough.

Are people still so insular they're afraid of common food like Indian food?

It's called cooking fresh and Americans can learn a lot from the rest of the world.

Truer words have never been spoken. RIP Tony. Forever sorely missed.

Thanks for understanding n appreciating Indian food :)

The food is fine, its delicious and generally no problem, but do not drink the water. That will DEFINITELY get you sick!

“You say Bolognese...I say vector”... wow! This man spread such great info and wisdom and miss him but happy to have him while we did.

Rest in peace Anthony.💞💞

He’s 100% right. Street food turns over quicker than fancy restaurant meals.

ive gotten sick in the college cafeteria and diners and food trucks, all in america, but in india, which ive been many times the only time i got sick was from a dominos pizza

Anthony's got the best gig on the planet. Dang.

I am an Indian. I have eaten food from many other countries as well. I can proudly say that Indian vegetarian food is the best and the most scientific. It has a very long range of species that protect u from many dangerous diseases that the world is suffering from today.

indian food is the most pure and best food in the world. It is food from the highest culture, pure vegetables. Haribol cant wait to eat in a hindu temple again. Thank you.

I've eaten street food all over the world and have been sick maybe twice, and all it was was a little extra time in the toilet. If you're going to travel, stock up on probiotics to get your tummy ready, and then go and enjoy the local culture!!

Rest in peace Anthony! You were and always will be loved

As a Punjabi man. When people say a vegetarian diet is unsustainable i laugh. Thank you Anthony. Rest in peace

I ate only Indian food today here in Chicago. Love it.

If i ever get old, I'll like to be like Anthony Bourdain.

1:42 what kind of man needs his own "safe food" what a disgrace

Who else is sick of Indians defending their food in the comments section ? 😂

Who else is getting this wonderful video on April 19, 2021? Rip Anthony Bourdain btw.

You can't blame Cooper. At least he's trying to learn, and not living in his own world.

The same people who show hyper-consciousness when eating Indian food, later go n eat burgers, fries, donuts, frappuccinos, sodas n what not. Cholesterol from such fast food is OK but a lit bit of spice & flavor is a problem. Indian cuisine is one of the rare cuisines that dates back to 1000s of years . It has a zillion varieties in both veg n non-veg and provides a balanced diet. I am not referring to those junk lunch buffets in Indian restaurants:)

Thats because fancy restaurants have too much supplies, less demand so the materials get expired......Street stalls have limited fresh supplies with more demand, so the products are consumed in a day or two....

RIP Anthony Bourdain. One of the "Celebrity Chefs" who is both a decent person and an excellent cook.
