<p>NZ toured India in 1988, and Jeremy Coney ended up fielding for NZ as a substitute fielder (a lot of Delhi belly apparently), despite being retired as a player and actually being there as a commentator...</p>

<p>I did the big 5 month backpacking thing there way back & never got the shits & I've been there a few times since & never shit myself, but I literally eat oranges, bananas, samosa, pakora (both deep fried), boiled eggs, naans shit like that. I'm not there for the culinary delights. Tho' the garlic cheese Naans are fricking superb.</p>

<p>Met so many people who go to Maccas & then shit themselves, or who are on a 1 week trip & decide "You can't come here & not try the local food!!". Yep, you totally can. You might not spend a day shitting after eating that Vindaloo from the cool little restaurant you found in a back street in Paragange, but do you really want to test it when you have a 7 hour 3rd class train ride to Jaipur tomorrow?</p>

<p>I ate a lot of chinese there too, shit ton of stir-fried chicken. Basically if you can boil it, fry fuck out of it or peel it, eat it.</p>

<p>I'll happily eat deep fried pakora I buy off a street vendor, as he's got a big arsed pot of boiling (motor) oil there bubbling away, but there's zero chance I'm going into a Subway. India has supermarkets all over the place too, worst case you just rock up, day 1 buy a box of special K & a pound of bananas, get a room that has a fridge (ie pay more than £15 a night for a room) and stick a bottle of UHT milk in there. You will surive for a week, & not shit yourself running for a rickshaw.  </p>
