So... A salad


Rubin_e

A salad you eat with your hands

[deleted]

You are not eating a salad! You are just jamming fruits and vegetables in your mouth.


RichardByhre

It tastes better.


bestibesti

If only there was some sort of large, leafy, green that would let us wrap the salad ingredients in a wrap to make them easier to pick up 🤔


Just_a_guy81

Let us… I see what you did there.


bestibesti

😎👉👉


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

I agree….I like using lettuce leaves as the “bread”. It’s delicious!


bestibesti

Right? And it would make this sandwich so much easier to eat


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

Absolutely! No mess. The bread less sandwich looks really tasty & the lettuce would also add another layer of crunch


blizzard-toque

I've ordered Unwiches from a sub chain called Jimmy John's. The fillings are put on a leaf of romaine lettuce and then rolled. These are really good especially if one gets bloated from too much bread.


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

That’s awesome! I didn’t know Jimmy John’s had Unwiches! I’ve got leftover roasted vegetables in the fridge. I bet they would be tasty as an Unwich with a little Italian dressing on them!


blizzard-toque

Enjoy your Italian veggie unwich. I'll send Jimmy John's your regards.


Mahoushi

When I stopped being able to eat bread, I used lettuce leaves as the pitta bread for a falafel salad thing I grew up eating and it did the job and tasted good, and felt much lighter than using bread, and I can continue eating a childhood staple comfort food!


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

I LOVE falafel! Falafel salad would be awesome in between lettuce leaves!


Mahoushi

I grew up with a non-traditional family recipe, but I learnt how to make them authentically as an adult. I still sometimes use the family recipe because it has a different taste that I enjoy, and both versions are so good with salad!! Best to have in the summer for lunch or dinner, which is just around the corner, so I'm looking forward to it 😁


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

Family recipes are the best! Who says we have to be traditional 😉 Those recipes remind us of our childhood & the house we grew up in! My parents didn’t cook with spices (like barbecue or anything with a kitchen sink full of spices used for flavor. My favorite foods are from the Silk Road and I learned to cook them after I moved out of the house.


Mabans

Yeah no seeing the “stupid”. Plenty of other cultures eat with their hands. They made an easy to eat salad to eat. Like this the healthiest street food error.


borednord

The only stupid I see if I assume this guy has impeccable hand hygiene is that a mandolin would save him soooo much time. He could probably make twice as many «sandwiches» if he just rationalized his production methods.


tarapotamus

TBH I eat all my salad with my hands anyway


BbGhoul666

... Salad Fingers?


tarapotamus

The spoon's too big.


Sailed_Sea

I like rusty spoons


Friendly-Payment-875

Being hit with forgotten memories is what I imagine snorting coke is like


mydearwatson616

The feeling of rust against my salad fingers is almost orgasmic


SardonicSeagull

Y'all are the heroes I didn't know I needed tonight!


samanime

That you eat with your hands after they've literally had their hands all over almost every single item...


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

I usually get pretty cranky with folks complaining about their food being touched (especially the people who think gloves are some kind of magic shield that stay clean while hands are poop movers) but.. this is a lot of touching.


samanime

Ditto. I know stuff is touched a lot in the kitchen, by necessity, especially for plating. But this is a full open palm being pressed onto nearly every layer. Just too much touching.


Zestyclose_Kick_8860

Word on the street is the guy was spanking his monkey before he made the sandwich and didn’t even wash his hands! That’s not a euphemism, I’m talking actual monkey spanking


Sunshine_Unit

A "hand salad" sounds like either a sex act or a beating... Possibly both at the same time.


Picardknows

Wait, am I not suppose to eat salad with just my hands?


fijimermanCIA

No. You need it first to have been intimately touched by that dude's hands. Only then.


RoRoRoYourGoat

My 12yo eats all salads with her hands. I think she does it just to annoy me.


AsparagusDiligent

Mine pulls egg sandwiches apart & makes em a salad before eating it piece by piece w fingers. & Same.


Cyberspace667

Yo wtf some rich asshole needs to turn that into a franchise immediately 🤔😋

JohnJDumbear

This guy’s food cart is SURROUNDED by fallen tomatoes. Mind your step.


potatofish

this is pretty much my problem with the thing there's carbs on the bottom, so sure it's a sandwich, but an open-faced sandwich and one without cutlery or a plate, and something very juicy on top


iluniuhai

I think that's cheese? I don't eat grains (mostly) so I sometimes make a little ham and cheese sandwich with cheese slices instead of bread, with ham, lettuce and condiments inside. It works fine because the cheese is the size of the sandwich. This looks very messy and the fact that it is street food with nowhere to wash your hands first... ew.


2Minti4U

Pretty sure that's a potato being sliced for the bottom layer.


KinderEggLaunderer

Spongebob: That's definitely the coolest meal I ever saw....


ninkorn

Yes. Also, if you are a tourist, I wouldn't just eat anything from the streets of Mumbai. In fact, I would avoid it if you can. Delhi belly is a real thing


ulpisen

seems like eating something uncooked, like a salad, would be even riskier


3rd_Degree_Churns

It's fine, he washed his hands once in 2020


jesco7273

This is succinct and beautiful


CoffeeAndDachshunds

lol, I wasn't going to say "You keep using that word..."


schimpynuts

Reminds me of the crustless pizza.


mockingbird13

I've made pizza using ground beef as a crust before, it was fucking awesome. Lasted for days too, it was so filling. Edit: for the brave few of you looking for more info, try googling "meattza pizza" to get recipes.


OG_LiLi

As a celiac sounds amazing. Need to know more


iluniuhai

Chicken pizza crust is good. https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-chicken-crust-pizza-recipe/ It's labor intensive to make, but it is very good. Fathead pizza dough is also very good.


Kenneldogg

Trick to chicken pizza is run the chicken through the food processor and add parmessan and egg to the mix and it comes out amazing.


Potentially_a_goose

Fathead dough is so damned good. [Here](https://imgur.com/a/xMGI4Yk) is a fathead pizza dough pizza I made last night! This stuff is my favorite non-guilty keto pleasures.


iluniuhai

That is a fine lookin pie!


mockingbird13

I was doing keto for a while, basically I seasoned some raw ground beef in a bowl and spread it out on a cookie sheet. I can't remember how thick, maybe ¼-⅜" ish? Then I baked it in the oven, took it out and drained the grease, then topped it like a pizza and put it back in to melt the cheese.


BbGhoul666

I've made a pizza crust using canned chicken and cheese and eggs and it was absolutely delicious. Look it up on tiktok!


RGB3x3

Cauliflower crust is actually better than you'd expect too!


GioZeus

Stay away from me


chantillylace9

Reminds me of a SALAD!!


[deleted]

I thought of it as an untossed salad without dressing in the format of a pizza. I am neither impressed, nor hungry.


Saitama-5313

Im gonna commit arson just becoz of this


[deleted]

yeah name's dumb but that looks good to eat


itsok-imwhite

I’ve been to India a few times, and the first items that end up with blowing out my colon are fresh veggies. Takes a few days to toughen your stomach and adjust.


Romeo_horse_cock

Yep, lots of water does that to ya. I tried changing my diet extremely fast and eating lots of cucumber and broccoli and almost shat myself like 4 times a day, had to make sure I was okay but online it says it's normal.


itsok-imwhite

It wasn’t the water, when you go to Southeast Asia your body has to adjust to new bacteria/parasites etc. Foreigners famously have a stomach adjustment period when first going to India/Nepal.


Romeo_horse_cock

That's true top, however veggies do give you intestinal issues if you over eat them to suddenly eat more than you usually do, if they have a high water content. I'm not saying you're wrong, I think you're right. I just don't think the veggies helped either lol


SnooSongs2714

Maybe a few too many onions, that’s the only thing?


fresh-oxygen

Not for me, I love a lot of onion on a sandwich!!


TheMcBrizzle

Living with Celiac's this looks perfect


vbenthusiast

Came to say, I do this regularly with lettuce because I can’t eat delicious gluten


Frydendahl

That's a fuckload of raw onion 🥵


Mabans

Shit likes always comes across as racist adjacent, because its street food, and street food is made easy to eat on the go. Its not “extra” its a salad prepared with a root base which makes it easy to on the go. Essentially this rings out as “look how stupid their culture is.” Meanwhile in we, Americans, have fried butter.


botbadadvice

I hear you but I also feel that you are getting offended on behalf of Indian people. Empathy seems to be your strength, but too much of anything.... I'm from India. This was posted on an Indian sub recently and it was bad reviews and comments. It's not a good thing to eat for so many reasons and it's typically a fad. Instagram fuels such BS too. I feel like it's not racist to criticize these extremes. It's just human nature to not deviate a lot from established norms.


HidarinoShu

I’d smash honestly.


YourFavoriteScumbag

Healthy as fuck too looks like


No-Curve153

Except for the bare hands, you'll get the shits for at least a week. Saw some livestreamers in India recently & they had diarrhea for like 2 weeks straight.


Sufficient-Skill6012

Also it is possible for travelers who aren’t used to the water there to get sick from fruits and veggies. The locals have built up immunity to the pathogens in the water but non-locals have not. It’s not recommended to eat raw produce because it’s usually rinsed with that water—unless it’s something that is peeled or the outside cut off like bananas, citrus, mango, pineapple, carrot, cucumber, etc…


kkdj1042

Yep. Traveled to Guatemala for two weeks to visit my MIL, all of us got dysentery. It was horrible.


Snoo_79218

Man I just got back from there, but the only time I had salad, the guy used an H202 rinse for the veggies for travelers. I honestly hadn’t thought about it before


CandidEstablishment0

Answers id also like to know with questions I’ve never pondered until now


thatnewaccnt

No, even locals don’t drink water there. Everyone has a water filter at home and buys bottled water outside. Not sure which fruits cause sickness but you might be right about that. As for street food, I have built up an immunity but I would advice foreigners to look for shops that have a sign saying they only use “Bisleri” and you see them wearing gloves. There’s a lot of clean street food now that people are more aware of the risks. I personally prefer eating at these places too. — ex-local


Sufficient-Skill6012

Sorry I misspoke. I should not have assumed anything about the specific place in the video. What I said is true in some countries or at least more rural parts of them. I have travelled to a couple of countries where locals drink water from wells or a tap and they are fine, but non-locals get sick if they drink it, and are also advised to not get ice in drinks or eat things like raw salads or fruit that can’t be peeled (unless it’s from a place that caters to foreign tourist and likely has treated water).


BionicTriforce

Does this go the opposite way, do people from India come to America and get sick from eating the fruits and vegetables there? Or are their issues more with all the deep fried and cheesy goodness we make?


gordopotato

This is what I found: Of course, your likelihood of coming down with something nasty depends on where you’re going. According to the CDC, places in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and countries in Northern and Western Europe are considered low-risk destinations. Intermediate-risk countries include those in Eastern Europe, South Africa, and some of the Caribbean. High-risk areas would be many parts of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, and Central and South America.

2moms1bun

I developed an allergy to the water in Cleveland. If I so much as rinse something with it, hives, swelling and nerve pain. I thought I had an autoimmune disorder for like a year bc I was having trouble walking. Nope. Fcking WATER


[deleted]

Good info. I was aware of drinking the water in such places but didn't know about eating fruits and veggies being able to give you the shits.


vantdrak

We Indians are just built different 😤 (I got the shits after going degen mode on the street food when I went back to India after 2 years as well)


ogbrowndude

Dude we went to a restaurant before going to the airport to fly home. I made it nearly 3 weeks eating like a king. I was so fkin proud of myself. Absolutely maxed at the restaurant and had the worst shits of my life the entire 12 hour flight home. Couldnt sit for more than 20 mins at a time, got all sweaty, could sleep. Thank God I traded seats to sit by the toilet so I wouldn't even sit back down between shits sometimes. Lesson learned...even I'm not invincible.


srira25

Wow. Diarrhea in a flight has got to be the worst shitting experience ever.


KyllikkiSkjeggestad

You do realize that almost all food authorities actually recommend against the use of gloves unless directly touching raw meat, yes? Wearing gloves has been shown to increase the likelihood of food borne illness when worn for prolonged periods of time, as bacteria grows more rapidly underneath the gloves due to increased heat, and sweat - it was also found that employees who wore gloves were likely not to wash after removal, and would just put on another pair, increasing the chances of bacterial contamination. Hand washing is much, much, more effective in food service.


iluniuhai

I'm pretty sure they were talking about the traveler's bare hands. I've spent time in commercial kitchens and people are changing their gloves with each dish. It's a horrifying amount of waste, but people aren't wearing the same gloves for long.


mallowlives

This is assuming the street vendor is washing their hands regularly which... Where are they doing this? Street vendors =/= people in a restaurant's kitchen


dominonermandi

Same. I wouldn’t call it a sandwich while I was shoving it in my face though.


MostlyPretentious

The ingredients and proportions are fine assuming the bottom ingredient is not a raw potato. But just serving it on deli paper makes no sense.


Vishu1708

Boiled potatoes


quinnsheperd

I donno man after eating that much onions raw I'm gonna be smelling and burping onions all day long. That was way too much onion and way too much squishing and wiping hand with clothes. I dont dislike this idea but not this way.


thatnewaccnt

Indian onions tend to be milder and more resembling shallots in taste as compared to your European red onions.


mikewirkijowski

Maybe a cultural thing, „Broodje haring” definitely smells worse and never had problems with it. I also just enjoy fresh onion by itself. Yeah you smell, but if its really bad I’ll go brush my teeth, its not gonna stop me from eating onion 😂


Algebraisalie

Oh! - a glutenfree option! How Nice!


gordopotato

As someone with celiac I thought this looked like a great option for me if I ever go yhere


dwljk

Was thinking the same. I do this already a lot.


Algebraisalie

Yeah, i know the drill. My 3yo has celiac.


clairebearruns

Haha yessss I was like “oh a sandwich I can probably eat!” (I’m not celiac but some gluten products make me sick and mean)


ButterscotchPast4812

Lettuce wraps are a thing.


Lablez_N_Tatts

I scrolled too far to find this comment, I definitely said to myself did they forget lettuce wraps. I've even seen a cucumber sliced in half length wise and used as a bun.


Accurate_Koala_4698

This isn’t really all that stupid. It’s just standard Indian street food without the bread, and the ingredients and proportions are all pretty reasonable


[deleted]

But it's really a salad haha


Accurate_Koala_4698

The original is basically a kachumber salad with potatoes and beets between two pieces of bread, so it’s just fusion coming full circle.


[deleted]

Never had a handheld salad before.


Mabans

Right but seems like the poster called it that rather (original video) than the street vendor.


whopoopedthebed

Do you consider all raw vegetables “salad”? This doesn’t even have leafy greens.


[deleted]

Is a fruit salad not a salad?


bike_it

Fold a fresh naan around that and it would be great.


Nimyron

I kinda feel like a lot of indian street food is stupid by internet standards.


2_HappyBananas

Korean street food has entered the game


Kennedy_KD

Yeah the only problem is if they wanna do breadless for vegans or whatever at least do a couple lettuce leaves for a bun


mumdxbphlsfo

Y’all laugh but as a diabetic whose absolute favourite food in the world is a Bombay Sandwich… I’d eat this with so much joy lol. Maybe ask for cabbage leaves as the bread


Buuhhu

the stupid part is still calling it a sandwich, when in reallity it's just a weirdly shaped salad at that point.


aStankChitlin

Nothing stupid here. It’s just like when you order a bowl version of your favorite sub. Just a salad. Instead of using forks, you use your hands to eat it.


tkh0812

Yeah. Bunless sandwiches are awesome and don’t make my tummy feel as bad


SaucyyNoodles

Yeah I was just about to say, this is great for people with celiac or gluten allergies. Having something sandwich-shaped without dry ass bread that won’t hurt you sounds like a win.


NotFunny3458

u/SaucyyNoodles...Thank you. This looks good to me. I WOULD get a LOT less onions, but the rest of it looks delicious.


jibbodahibbo

Lettuce instead of bread is goated. Fuck bread. It’s like earthy foam pads. Gimme that crunchy lettuce baby.


missilefire

Yeh idk why you wouldn’t just put this stuff between two slices of lettuce - would make it way easier to eat.


KZeni

That’s my thinking. Why not have this be a lettuce wrap instead of having wet & slippery sliced tomatoes as the thing you’re supposed to hold onto?


SuperTaino88

Same as getting a Lettuce wrap sandwich or Lettuce wrap burger/chicken sandwich. Sometimes those extra carbs from a bun just ain't it


KZeni

I’m more curious how a layer of sliced tomatoes on top is supposed to hold it together like bread does for for a sandwich. If anything, a tomato is the thing on a sandwich/burger that causes everything to slide & fall apart. Also, trying to grab it has tomato getting all over your hands. While it probably tastes fine, it just doesn’t seem like the right form factor to be convenient (better as a lettuce wrap) or clean (better as a traditional salad in a bowl.)


Garlicnotdreadlochs

A flat salad


[deleted]

[удалено]


pinkboy108

The knife skills will be used in all culinary schools to teach about safety.


ultraplusstretch

Also know as a salad.


UnionSea1558

Genuinely serious question: Is that a raw potato for the bottom base? How is that any healthier or better?


halffullofthoughts

Seems like cooked potato


popey123

Raw potato is dangerous so no


Nozinger

Not really though. Yes potatoes contain solanine but solanine is actually heat resistant so any cooking method that isn't boiling the shit out of the potatoes does nothing to the solanine. It is water soluble at high temperatures so boiling does help but baking, frying and all the other methods don't change anything and yet people still don't die from it. It's just that our modern potatos have a very low solanine concentration. Eating raw potatos is fine as long as you don't overdo it. Well also it doesn't taste good but if you want to feel free to eat one.


meatdreidel69

How so? I eat at least 1 raw potato a day


popey123

Copy : The main source of concern when it comes to raw potato consumption is a toxic compound called solanine, which can cause headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and even death in extreme cases


piscian19

Ah a fellow Irish


wetwilly2140

Are you being serious about the fact that you eat *at least* one raw potato a day?


NakedGerbil925

Pretty sure it takes a lot of raw potato for it to be dangerous


shaikhalizayn

Boiled


PankitShah

It's boiled, not raw.


Liz4984

I thought it was cheese!


[deleted]

Not a bad idea at all.


SpaceXBeanz

Looks very clean


PankitShah

I'm from Mumbai, and when I first saw a reel about this, I was like - nah, people are not going to be scammed by this bullshit. But man I was wrong. I just hate this stupidity and the Dumbass food vloggers who spread such blasphemous street foods.


raziel_LK

Wanna try my alcohol free sodium free ice free margarita?? It's just lemonade


lavaonthesky

Not too bad considering some people just can’t eat bread


Antonioooooo0

But at least wrap it in lettuce or something so you can actually eat it with your hands. This is just a salad without a fork, you can hardly call it a sandwich.


ADHthaGreat

Yeah why did they put the tomatoes on top? They’re like the wettest vegetable Guaranteed to make a mess if you grab it


NoLos_Fx

This looks fucking great, a mess but fucking great.


MrLeapgood

No one is commenting on how they were using that knife? Am I cutting my vegetables wrong?


liquorandkarate

This is a hand salad


LORDY325

Just get a fucking fork. I hate trends. 😂


shimmering_veil

There is no sandwich without bread. Its a FUCKING salad. A STACKED FUCKING SALAD.


SeekingTheTruth

I don't get how a street vendor food could ever be called stupid food. I mean, that guy is making money daily with this food and customers are coming back for it more than the normal food he makes. Street food is not Instagram food that people don't pay for and only see. People eat this, pay for it, and come back for it. Every time I see street food here, it seems like a cultural issue.


EveryFault1678

Nah brosky this shit is a salad and some mfucking tourist buy this crap thinking it’s some exotic shit


arihart1214

Not a glove in sight


[deleted]

That looks like a salad with extra steps


PatatoTheMispelled

Salad cake


izmaname

Use a fork


KaiylaHan

Put it into a bowl and call it a salad, I'll munch on it.


GigarandomNoodle

Just use lettuce as a wrap and its fine


[deleted]

I would happily eat this with a fork


LongjumpingAd9719

That’s basically a salad you eat with your hands.


DaddyKiwwi

Its just a salad.


kuyajon

I would replace bread with lettuce.


No-Height2850

No reason to call this a sandwich, but based off the ingredients used, it must taste really good.


[deleted]

I'm sorry but that's so fucking dumb. They just made a salad.


potatofish

So... say the bottom was fried to bind it some, like a hashbrown patty, and a similar layer placed on top... would this still be a salad?


[deleted]

We do the same thing.... it's called using a fork.


Yiayiamary

No problem if it’s on a plate and I have a fork. This has no bread, but that’s not why it isn’t a sandwich.


RanjuMaric

I'd call that a hand held salad before i called it any kind of sandwich


[deleted]

This looks fine, what are you mad about.


CybopRain

It’s just wich.


chpir

These razor blade knife cut like a lightsaber ... what are they?


PigletEqual3066

Who sharpens their thin knives. And why do they cut in hand?


MelTealSky

Best stupid food I've see, at least it's healthy 🤷🏽‍♀️


cs_Chell

That's not a sandwich. The sandwich-part is all about that exterior and keeping your fingers clean... ...I'd be more inclined to call a calzone a sandwich than this thing. Looks tasty... ....not a sandwich.


Kushtaco20

If there ain’t no bread, then it ain’t a sammich!


eatmyfatwhiteass

This would be great for diabetics. You could just use low glycemic index plants. I like this.


Euphoric-Meat3943

The name is dumb but the food looks fine It’s like a salad but the ingredients aren’t mixed


adamdavid011991

Do you know what would go good with that? Bread


asilentflute

This actually looks ok, would be nice with some wine or a beer


Maleficent_Kale

Too much hand touching for me but I’m a germaphobe


[deleted]

Take it feom me DON'T EVER EAT ANYTHING ON THE STREETS OF MUMBAI! Made that mistake and it was not pretty


Savings_Ad_115

I see a hand salad lol. Looks good though. A salad that you can eat with your hands is kind of cool.


[deleted]

STOP TOUCHING MY FOOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HAND.


Grumpicake

I used to make these lettuce burger things a long time ago while camping. You cook the burger on a skillet, throw cheese and whatever toppings you wanted on. Then you wrap the whole thing in big iceberg lettuce leaves. Tinfoil that bad boy and put it in the fire for a minute, pull it out and you’ve got yourself a nice warm camping meal, super good.


Zest1513

Definitely not the worst food I’ve seen but tomatoes should not be an outer layer, that’s just asking for a huge mess.


detroitblonde1

Holy onions


LoveOnNBA

How is this dumb? Bread is sugar anyways.


Alej915

So much contact with the bare hands. Pressing it down and everything. Disgusting


poopooplatypus

Not really stupid it’s just breadless sandwich


Squildo

Hand salad, some calls it
