This thread has reminded me how much i hate when 'marinara sauce' is used by 'merkins to mean 'napoli sauce'. Anyway, this could boil down to How much time does everyone like spending in the toilet per day.

"In certain areas of Italy, such as Florence, however, the fruit was used solely as a tabletop decoration* before it was incorporated into the local cuisine in the late 17th or early 18th century."

now we're gettin down to some kick-ass food pedantry
btw DJP Lik-M-Aid the powder ranks beneath the amazing Mexican sour sugar-and-chile powder "Brinquitos," but Lik-M-Aid sticks are generally considered an outstanding food

Assuming the ingredients are of the same quality, going with Indian.

Tough call, but I don't think there's an Italian dish I love as much as butter chicken.

this thread is reminding me that a) hongryb) i basically never ever eat italian food anymore?c) crave indian foodd) have like a bazillion dollars worth of saffron in my kitchen right now that my mom got in Goa for like $2
― i love pinfold cricket (gbx), Monday, 14 November 2011 02:20 (fourteen years ago)
I just bought saffron today for the first time ever! It reminded me of when my friend's co-worker went to Turkey on vacation and brought him back a lifetime's worth for like $15.

When my housemates went to Turkey for holiday, I asked them to bring back saffron, but they bought back a big bag of turmeric. Dozy stoners.
indian food >>>>> italian food >>>>> english roast dinner >>>>> massive burger

― ₪_₪ (darraghmac), Monday, 14 November 2011 08:31 (fourteen years ago)
I think that's fair, no? Some days I'll swap the italian for a roast.
Saying that, some days I just want a massive burger. I never claimed consistency.
― get ready for the banter (NotEnough), Monday, 14 November 2011 09:07 (fourteen years ago)
The only fair way for me to judge this is the best Indian food I've had (which was in Manchester) vs. the best Italian food I've had (which was in Italy, tho also some in NYC was close). I will go with Indian for its amazing range of textures and spices. But mostly, having considered this, I am sad that I now live in a place where you can't get either good Indian or good Italian. I guess I need to try to make some of my own.

Homemade Indian food, if made properly is really fun to prepare and eat.

I did some Indian cooking years ago, but never enough to get good at it. Worth revisiting.

The best Indian food I have eaten was in Galway. There was a maestro with spice working in that kitchen.
