Corrected that for you

Not true, the home of food poisoning is the huge all inclusive resorts, street food cooked, fresh in front of you is extremely unlikely to cause any problems.

No connection to general hygiene standards or the source of the product or how the product has been stored.

You are of course quite wrong.

Salmonella can be present in foodstuffs but is killed by pasteurisation ie cooked to a safe temperature to kill it.

If that's the case then why are there laws as to how food is stored by restaurants and how they keep their premises?

I didn't say there wasn't did I.

Salmonella is present in some foods. Poor storage temperatures followed by poor preparation increases the chance of receiving a dose. Compliant temperature storage followed by complete pasteurisation combined decreases the chances.

Sadly ... your loss! More for me!:)

The only dose I ever had was in Bangkok. Whilst I wasn't impressed with cooking hygiene on the streets, I had no problems. The only problem was a celebrity Indian guest chef at the Intercontinental cost me three stone after some tandoori chicken.

In Singapore, the home of genuine fusion street food, hygiene is very highly regulated and much much cleaner than the UK.

I was just joking - I am pretty happy to eat street food in some countries although I did stop short at the deep fried Tarantula in Cambodia!

I know you were joking!

I'm actually quite fussy with food. I set high standards in my kitchen and hate seeing how others sometimes do their stuff. It was a delight therefore to discover street food in Singapore. Stalls handed down generation to generation who specialise in a single dish which they get right over the generations. This combined with the inspection regime makes everything spotlessly clean. Unlike Bangkok

Also Singapore being where many things met, ie Chinese, Indian, Thai, Malaysian all fusing their preferences together makes it a lovely place to taste, observe and learn.

Regarding the Brexit vote.

You could argue the toss about whether a leave or remain vote was the right decision but at the end of the day the nuances of an exit decision are far too complex for this to be decided by a binary referendum.

The referendum vote is not legally binding so we are now in a constitutional dilemma as neither of the main political parties actually wanted the leave vote. So what should they do now? Pass laws into parliament that go against their underlying political beliefs? Just not going to happen.

My expectation is that once we have new leaders in place in the main political parties we will have a general election where the parties will need to be clear on their position on Europe as part of a coherent strategy for the country and will be able to be brought under more accurate scrutiny of a fully costed fact based manifesto (as opposed to the scare tactic rhetoric of both the referendum campaigns). I suspect both parties know this which is why article 50 has not (and will not) be invoked.

So while we are unlikely to get a new referendum I suspect this is not the end of the story.

Marine_life, I agree, and hope you're right.

The Government in its election manifesto was elected to put the EU membership question to the people. The people have voted. I and any democrat would expect the Government to fulfil its mandate. Hopefully we can take forward the death of Jo Cox by having unity and not allow the non-democrats to win.
