Chinese or Indian?

[Redway]

Title says it all, really.

Wait for the poll. :suspect:

[Benjamin]

Thai.

[Niamh.]

God, that wasn't the question Ben :bored:

Indian by miles

[Redway]

Thai.

It was either Chinese or Indian. :idc:

[Lee.]

I love both!

My favourite restaurant locally is Indian though, so I'll go for that.

Mexican is my fav though :love:

[Roy Mars III]

Thai.

:worship:

[lostalex]

I've had some truly awful Chinese food. Like inedible Chinese food. I've never had truly awful Indian food, so i've gotta go with Indian.

Bad Chinese food is worse than bad Indian food, and Great Indian food is better than Great Chinese food, so Indian wins always.

[Niamh.]

oh Mexican is great too Lee, still prefer Indian though

[Redway]

I picked Indian. From popadons to tika masala.. :amazed:

I enjoy Chinese food, but for me it isn't really up there with the best of tastes around the world...

[joeysteele]

Chinese for me, only like certain things of Indian food.

[Lee.]

oh Mexican is great too Lee, still prefer Indian though
The first Indian restaurant to ever open in Edinburgh opened one in my town family recently! It's the best Indian food I have ever ever tasted!

[lostalex]

Mexican is my fav though :love:

well yea, Mexican is a million miles better than both, as is Italian.

[Lee.]

God yeah! How could I even forget about Italian! :love:

[Vicky.]

Chinese. Cant stand indian

[lostalex]

I've been searching for a decent Chinese place for 6 years here in Oakland, and you'd think we'd have great places cause there is such a huge Chinese immigrant population in the bay area, but no, it's all horrible. There are some great thai, vietnamese, and japanese places, but the chinese is horrible. I had much better Chinese food on the east coast than i have since moving to California.

Almost all of the Chinese places here are just horrible. Huge steam tables of crap that sit there and fester for hours. It's a disgrace.

[Kate!]

Love Chinese, Love Italian. Not really a fan of Indian, too spicy for my tastes.

[Benjamin]

I also like Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian, Mexican and Malaysian.

Yeah, I've got to say the Chinese places near to me are pretty disappointing! I find the best Chineses in Scotland are nearer the west if Scotland, near Glasgow. I don't know why, but I have family that way and its a treat to get a Chinese whilst visiting!

[Redway]

Whenever I'm out eating Japanese it's usually anything but sushi lol. It's just fish wrapped in leaves. :suspect:

[CharlieO]

Chinese but only from real places. No cheapo take away rubbish :yuk:

Urgh! I hate sushi! My sister keeps promising to take me to a sushi place in Edinburgh that she guarantees I'll love, but I doubt it! Fish is devil food!

[Redway]

Tuna fish is the worst of the lot lol.

[Black Dagger]

The closest I get to an Indian is a chicken korma with poppadoms and tortilla wraps.

The closest I get to a Chinese is plain noodles.

So I'm not really overly keen on either.

[Lee.]

Tuna fish is the worst of the lot lol.

Ha, tuna is one of the few fish I will eat. I also like prawns, scampi and lobster.

[Benjamin]

SUSHI IS NOT FISH!!!!! IT'S RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

/rant over

[lostalex]

I'd take a great burger over a great curry or a great chow mein any day. I know that's so American, but it's the truth.

[Lee.]

SUSHI IS NOT FISH!!!!! IT'S RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

/rant over

Well any sushi I have tried has tasted of fish! Explain that dickface!

[lostalex]

i think cooked fish tastes more fishy than raw fish, sushi. If the fish smells really fishy in sushi then it's probably not very fresh, and you shouldn't eat it.

[Benjamin]

Because you've eaten fish sushi you silly bint. :idc:

The word fish no longer looks real.

[Redway]

I actually like seafood in general. It's just sushi and tuna I can't stand. :p

Either way it tastes disgusting...

Well is non fish sushi not wrapped in fish anyway?!

[Benjamin]

No, the most common form of sushi is usually wrapped in seaweed.

[lostalex]

No, the most common form of sushi is usually wrapped in seaweed.

the fancy house special ones usually do have fish wrapped around the outside too though.

[Lee.]

No, the most common form of sushi is usually wrapped in seaweed.


....which tastes of the sea, so its still disgusting!

[lostalex]

My favorite roll from the place i go to is shrimp tempura, avocado, with baked salmon on the outside and teriyaki sauce. It's very yummy. Not all sushi is raw.

sashimi is when you just get raw fish. I like sashimi too, it's just really fresh fish cut into bite sized bits.

:joker:


And Alex that sounds amazing. :love:

[Braden]

Indian is my favourite cuisine, I love it.

I don't really eat Chinese food that much, the egg fried rice is always nice though.

[CharlieO]

That is incorrect. The indian food you will be eating actually could be classified as 'English food' because it is most likely not authentic and most indian curries that are served in indian places in the uk are recipes made by english people.

Indian and Chinese food in the actual origin country tastes very very different.

[lostalex]

I wonder if indian and chinese food in America is different than indian and chinese food in the UK. ANd i wonder which is more authentic. It would be an interesting show. comparing ethnic food around the world, which are most authentic, which are most different, which are best. I'd watch that show.

I wonder what chinese food is like in Argentina, or Australia, or Japan. I wonder what Indian food is like in Canada, Indonesia, and Germany.

That would be a good TV show, if they travelled the world trying one type of food in many different countries.

[Lee.]

It's impossible to compare in here. Maybe we could all photograph our takeaways from now on though and post them here :)

it would be awesome if we did that. I think most of us are too lazy on this forum though, so i won't hold my breath. lol

[lostalex]

There's a girl in the UK, i forget where exactly, and she started photographing her school lunch everyday and blogged it, and people started sending in their school lunches from around the world,. that was awesome.

Think that was up somewhere in Scotland.

[Raph]

Chinese by miles. I never, ever eat Indian food. No racism intended but it always makes me anxious that i'll smell bad afterwards. Honestly not a racist statement but the profound spices in Indian cuisine, is just not my thing at all. :yuk:

[Marcus.]

[Sam:)]

Depends what you mean, Prefer Chinese food, Indian people

[Jamie.]

Chinese :love:

[Maia]

Chinese is more appealing but I do love a good Indian curry

[Smithy]

Chinese, Indian gives me really smelly farts /tmi

[Shaun]

Don't enjoy spicy food, just makes my nose run and need a drink/to go to the toilet. Do love naan bread and poppadoms though.

Chinese = more varied, and just better in every way

[Apple202]

Don't like either :hmph:

[Redway]

[Shaun]
