4. Are the ingredients fresh? If you've got eyes, a nose, and some tastebuds, you can figure this out for yourself. I look at the condiments and garnishes to determine if I want to eat at a given stand or cart. If I see crusty bowls of salsa, dessicated limes, slimy herbs, or flies congregated on any raw foods I might potentially eat, I'm out of there.
4、原料是否新鮮？你可以用你的眼睛、鼻子和味蕾來分辨。我會先看看攤販的調(diào)味品和配菜，再來決定是否要在特定的攤位或推車吃東西。如果我看到邋遢的沙拉、干干的酸橙、粘粘的香料，或是我想吃的食物原料上停著蒼蠅，我馬上離開那里。
If you're in a coastal region, it pays to do a bit of homework on the cleanliness of the local fresh and ocean water supplies; algae blooms or cholera outbreaks will be widely reported. Try to avoid eating raw river fish or seafood, or river fish/seafood from just offshore; remember that many developing island nations and coastal regions use high tide as their toilet. If you're eating pork in the Third World, always make sure it's well-cooked. While trichinosis has effectively been eradicated from our domestic industrial pork supply, the disease is prevalent in other parts of the world. And not to get too graphic, but you'll often find pigs in rural parts of the developing world lurking around latrines, searching for a snack.
如果你在沿海地區(qū)，你就要對當(dāng)?shù)氐氖挛镉兴私猓绺蓛粜迈r的海產(chǎn)品、水藻，以及廣泛報道的霍亂疫情。盡量避免吃生河魚或海鮮或近海地區(qū)的海產(chǎn)品。要謹(jǐn)記，許多發(fā)展中島國和沿海地區(qū)以海潮作為他們的廁所。如果你在第三世界吃豬肉，一定要確保肉已煮熟，雖然國內(nèi)的豬肉供應(yīng)工業(yè)已有效根除了毛線蟲病，但該疾病還普遍存在于世界其它地區(qū)。但也不要太講究形象，在發(fā)展中國家的農(nóng)村地區(qū)你經(jīng)常會看到豬圍在廁所周圍覓食。
Fresh ingredients don't necessarily mean great food, but it helps. Delicious street food is ulimately a reflection of the loving care that goes into its preparation. Are the carnitas slightly crispy on the outside, with an interior succulent with greasy goodness? Is the masa in the tamales moist, with a sweet, earthy corn flavor? Are the noodles slightly toothsome, the herbs fresh and bright-tasting, the broth fragrant and piping hot? These things matter.
新鮮的食材并不意味著好吃，但卻有益。美味的街頭食物是一種精心準(zhǔn)備的親切關(guān)懷。carnitas外表略脆，里面卻多汁油膩嗎？濕潤的玉米粉蒸肉充滿著泥土的氣息？美味的面條、清新亮麗的香草、甜美的熱肉湯？這些都是你要關(guān)心的問題。
