Sounds like someone who should have stayed home. What's the point of
traveling to other places if you can't tolerate any types of food

other

than what you mother always cooked? Stay home ... and give me your
tickets! ;-)!!

It's more of an issue of water quality than the food per se.

Anglo-Indian food is easily the most popular cuisine in the UK. They

say

that Chicken Tikka Masala is our national dish. Immigration has its
benefits :)

Oh, then maybe he just never goes anywhere and doesn't talk to anyone
who's ever gone anywhere - water quality is an issue in all
undeveloped/developing areas.

I work with an Indian expat who can no longer drink the water when he goes
home for a visit. His stomach can't handle it anymore, even though it

could

when he lived there.

My girlfriend and I are fans of the Mediterranean and when we go to Spain,
Greece or Turkey we are always warned not to drink the running water, but
to buy fresh water in bottles. It's not something exclusively India. Such
happens
to all warmer countries. OTOH you better engage yourself into different
cuisines.
It's not only tasty, it also makes your system more adapted to different
kinds
of food, especially olive-oil and spices.

Perhaps this Englishman (?) was only capable of digesting porridge! ;-)
