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.

I picked Indian. From popadons to tika masala..

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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.
