A truly pure person who cooks food does not know himself or herself is pure. I think a person tries to cook the best way he or she can, especially if it is for family or friends who come to their home.
So you, as the receiver, just have to assume that person is pure as can be. Any other judgement simply makes you an impure person. You are free to choose what you eat of course. If you cook food for yourself, since you are impure, as it has been constantly mentioned in the Murlis, then you had better not eat what you had cooked.
About the types of food, if any food causes you anxiety then it simply brings out the negative in you. That is more poisonous then eating a food which you are unaware of. What you can do is educate only yourself what you should or should not eat. The oldest man in the world who died last week in East Europe was 116 years old and he ate meat sausages with bread. That is 30 years more years than Dadiji. Japanese have the longest longevitiy amongst nations and they eat daikon very often. There is a documentary on BBC about old Chinese men 90s and centurians (100+ years) and they smoke and drink. It is the state of one's mind which is more important. After all, when one is so full with God's love, you are ready to die today, aren't you ? Worry less about the odd onion here and there and move on.
I think the importance of food is emphasised more in India more since the state of stalls outside is not appetising at all (flies and mosquitos amongst faeces with all types of beasts of burden on a street with food stalls). The point of food is often taken too extreme in clean modern nations. In Singapore, it is said you can eat off the floor at Changi airport.
Anyone know have any cockroaches and rats and other vermin been found in BK or PBK kitchens, especially in hot and humid countries?
