How to know which eating places to avoid

Can't Post | Private Reply

Today, we saw a young man unlock and open the lonchería next to the garage where our car was getting an oil change.
I think he was carrying his lunch in a bag. Perhaps that was a sign.

Nevertheless, I had a Nescafé and two tasty, chocolate coverd donas there. All ok.

Ja! ja! Anomino.
Take care...reading for 'signs'.

Better to look at the entrails, upon 'butchering'.
You know, just kidding you:)

However as a ranchera, butchering on a regular basis, chivos, puercos, gallos/gallinas, patos and conejos), borregos, etc. I'm always taking 'care' from cradle to grave, that animals are healthy and safe for human consumption.

Personally eating out, anywhere for me, always amounts to a calculated 'digestive roulette'. 'Cause eating out for me, is largely 'faith=based'.

Much prefer, eating out at the homes of people I know, or at restaurants of people, that people I know, 'know'.

However have long subscribed to "it's not what you know, but who you know"
and what they know:) school of relationship.

And hopefully the relationship in reverse.

It was many years ago, in a grim and dingy restaurant in Cd. Victoria, that we sat down and looked over the sticky menus. About then, I saw a large rat run out of the kitchen and into the baño. We left for the place next door, but although it was better lit, it probably wasn't an improvement over the first.

I was reminded of that place in Cd. Victoria yesterday when my wife told me that a large rat (a different one, I would hope, after some 37 years) ran out as a ditch was being dug by a backhoe at the said lonchería. That was after I ate the donas.

My wife and I walked out of a lovely place that had a balcony over a river in Veracruz (mid 80's). The food was nice enough.
On our way out, we witnessed a five-gallon bucket being lowered into the river by rope and pulled back into the kitchen.
I had to be hospitalized three days later.
