    When I lived in India, for the first 2 years I stayed there, I got food poisoning every few weeks. Every time I ate out or ate snacks, I got sick. It got so bad that eventually I grew numb to puking, I didn't feel nauseous anymore, when I got sick, I would just puke like it was a normal everyday occurrence. After 2 years, my immune system caught up and I could enjoy Indian Street food properly. good times indeed.

      @Eric Pratt don't ever try street food. You will NOT survive it. It's been documented. Indians have a different intestinal Flora than Americans . We don't get sick from certain E Coli strains as easily as some in the west do. Which is one reason is food is contaminated , it will remain so since most Indians won't have an issue and hence customer base won't go down.
      Always have an Indian host. They will know what to get you.

    Love getting to know you a bit more after following you for all these years! Sucks it has to be under these conditions, but it’s nice to get to know a little more about ya! Cause I’ve always wondered what happened to Danny, and sickness after all the years of travel on top of all the other stuff you’ve shared. No matter what’s going on, you’re keeping us entertained and we still get to eat right along with ya while getting to know you better. Everything looked awesome and can’t wait to try hot pot in the rice cooker! 🙌🏼

    Greetings From India... My Name is Eddie Ashley from Bangalore, Karnataka... Really Sorry about the treacherous experience you went through in Hyderabad, what Ashu offered you is Called "Ugadi Panchami" ... It's a drink made of Green mango, neem florets, red chilli, Jaggery and couple of other ingredients... Well one reason could be of the neem florets or the pot that it's stored in... Generally the drink is a very very healthy. If it was just you and not the whole crew then it's just that your digestive system didn't like it. I hope this one exp doesn't change your opinion about our country. We love to embrace you to our county with open arms... The next time your here may be good...

Questions: 1) how much do you have to work out to eat 3 meals, 3 times a day sometimes 😂 2) what is the brand of the korean bbq grill you used in a previous episode, 3) how do you advise someone to eat good hot pot at a restaurant but knows no chinese and has no previous hot pot experience, and 4) what kind of rice cooker is this??? I want one! I'm a terrible Korean, I've never owned one!
