I saw locals handing out free food on the street. Is it safe for tourists to eat.

A Dansala is a deeply beautiful Buddhist tradition of community charity especially prominent during major Poya days like Vesak. Local communities pool their money to cook massive vats of food or sweet drinks and offer them completely free to anyone passing by.

Tourists are highly encouraged and warmly welcomed to partake. The locals will be thrilled to serve you. The food is cooked fresh and is generally very safe but if you have a highly sensitive stomach sticking to the free ice cream or bottled drinks rather than the open curries is the smartest option.
