There is a reason why salads aren't a thing in warmer countries. The same reason applies to people only drinking tea, not cold water. If it's not cooked, it might be actually dangerous.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> reason why salads aren't a thing in warmer countries Meanwhile cooked chicken can be safely left on a countertop in Canton for hours? This model needs more variables.
- theshrike79 3y agoNot an expert in China, but AFAIK the Chinese are big on eating food right after it has been cooked for this exact reason. Salads aren't a thing because they're likely to have bacteria in them and they've been sitting out for god knows how long. Same goes for proteins, if it's still sizzling hot when it's delivered, it was most likely just cooked and thus safe.
- vjk800 3y agoAnything cooked should be safer than anything raw. Cooking sterilizes the food.
- numpad0 3y agoI don't know, but they seem to often marinade chickens, then steam well, then hang dry, and/or keep hot. Temperature-growth chart for food pathogens is said to show a bell curve peaking at ~35C/95F. Keeping well-flavored food hot(>122F) works to similar effects as refrigerating, just not energy efficient nor good for maintaining flavors.
