You can only have either Indian food or Chinese food for the rest of your life starting now. Which do you pick and why

chinese because indian food gives me explosive diarrhea

>>214814170 (OP)
Indian food, I like Chinese food too but a lot of Japanese dishes are probably similar

>>214814195
Fair. Good quality Indian restaurants only give you a little explosive diarrhea imhofr

>>214814170 (OP)
Chinese food, it's closer to what I eat usually

>>214814170 (OP)
Indian food without spices

>>214814222
Yeah butter chicken with rice and garlic naan is a god tier dish

>>214814251
Fuark

>>214814247
Are there Indian restaurants in Japan?

>>214814247
That's just japanese style curry

>>214814280
Japanese curry? They were saars this whole time?

>>214814251
You can't eat this slop everyday. No one does. South Indian food is more staple and palatable

>>214814315
I eat it more of as a treat, but either way you still have a lot of other variety with Indian food imo

>>214814273
Yes. there are many. but almost all of them are run by other south asians like Nepalis and Bengals. Indians work rather in IT sectors.

>>214814222
Its not similar at all, jap food are pale compared to chinese.
Chinese food far exceeds other east asians in terms of history, flavor variations, creativity and ingredients

>>214814370
Correction, chinese food far exceeds all other asian countries, india included

>>214814170 (OP)
Chinese is better, but Indian is good too. Not my favorite, but good. The ranking goes Mexican > Chinese > Italian > the rest.

>>214814170 (OP)
Chinese food.
Indian food gives indians themselves potbellies and a terrible smell.

>>214814370
Chinese food can be a little too exotic for my taste. With Japanese food it's almost always good.

>>214814425
Japanese food has a more subtle and delicate flavor palate for sure. Less "in your face" and more "wait for it"

>>214814425
Chinese food has options no matter what you prefer, it has savoury, spicy, tangy, mild, strong, high complexity, literal raw food, heavily meat based or even vegan approved. Its not preference just trying to be objective by adding few relevant parameters

>>214814170 (OP)
Both cuisines offer a wide variety, from regional dishes of various ethnic groups to royal cuisine, but it's a shame that Indian cuisine has few beef and pork dishes.
Also, from a Japanese perspective, it's a shame that Chinese cuisine has few seafood dishes and cold dishes.

>>214814170 (OP)
I have no idea. Never tasted either.

>>214814170 (OP)
Chinese food. I am allergic to hepatitis.

>>214814170 (OP)
Pretty difficult to pick since they both have such a huge variety but I am a sucker for toufu and so I'll go with Chinese food.

>>214814170 (OP)
Indian. I hate the taste of MSG.

>>214814588
Hmmm this, I've only eat argentinian food so far

china puts a lot of shady sauces with god knows what ingredients which will give stomach cancer before 50 though i have used their sauces in the past
prefer indian since the spices and herbs are atleast natural

chinese. indian food takes too long to prepare

>>214815729
>puts a lot of shady sauces with god knows what ingredients
Like this?

>>214815743
Not true, there are tons of indian dishes with simple preparation, and conversely there are chinese dishes that take days to prepare.
What is it with anons on this thread that seem to be unable to make apple to apple comparisons?

>>214814170 (OP)
Even as an Indian I have to pick Chinese food. Indian food lacks variety, it is the same fry onions and tomatoes with spices and make a curry, no matter what region you go to. With Indian snacks, it's just deep fry some carbs with a lot of spices.
Chinese food on the other hand has different types of cooking and a large variety of ingredients which Indians have never heard of. While living in China, when I missed Indian food, I used to eat Xinjiang food which resembles North Indian dishes like pilaf, naan etc.

>>214814170 (OP)
Indian food. I like the creamy stuff. Chinese food i only like Lo mein/chow mein or general tsos chicken

>>214814170 (OP)
Chinese because I only eat the same few Indian dishes and that would get old over time.

I dont like either of those food. I rather have pizza and hamburgers

>>214814170 (OP)
If we're including American-Chinese food then definitely Chinese. There's a lot more variety

>>214815811
>there are tons of indian dishes with simple preparation
which easy dishes do you recommend?

>>214814170 (OP)
I would imagine indian dishes don't have a lot of meat options so probably chinese

>>214816971
You're joking?
>>214814170 (OP)
Chinese, had enough of Indian food

>>214817197
Guess I should've specified beef dishes, meanwhile chinese have them and more

>>214817239
We have a ton of beef dishes in south Indian cuisine and pork in east.

>>214816868
Butter chicken, chutney, also tikka masala also isnt that hard to make

>>214814170 (OP)
Both are too diverse for this to be meaningful. But But Chinese since a large % of Indians are vegetarian. Not all Chinese even eat rice as a staple.

>>214814195
i was in EU and one small chain italian restaurant in frankfurt almost killed me, i've never fully recovered
