indian food vs. italian food

I like Indian food but it doesn't like me

where the hell has "Brinquitos" been all my life

dude they are...sooo....good

what did my girlfriend buy me for my birthday in 1991? a big ol' bag of BRINQUITOS

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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.

real talk

cannot decide

this thread is reminding me that
a) hongry
b) i basically never ever eat italian food anymore?
c) crave indian food
d) have like a bazillion dollars worth of saffron in my kitchen right now that my mom got in Goa for like $2

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.

also just walked by a local Italian joint and sitting right there by the window was a large Indian family out for dinner

we love italian food!

I just thought it was funny, like they'd picked that particular restaurant to make me lol

chicken tikka messiah complex imo

plate of shrimp xp

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

now wait a damned minute

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.

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.

esp if you own a tandoori oven

a tandoor, even

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

I know which of these I feel worse about indulging in 12-24 hours later.

lol catholic?

the best Indian food I've had (which was in Manchester)

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

do you remember the place?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

*rolls eyes*

*lols*

*great britain*

wow. so many votes!

bless you, great britain, for choosing the butter chicken over the spag bol.

its tough to vote against risotto but sometimes you have to do it

nb: i abstained from this poll

i should have abstained. i voted indian out of ethnic pride but it was too hard a call, really.

I didnt vote, I couldnt choose.

this poll helped me choose my dinner tonight ... for real. it's gonna be chicken kashmiri!!

I'm glad to be on the right side for once

i approve

i really can't choose ... and it's a shame that my stomach has gotten so fucked up over the years that i have to take it easy when eating the finest of either of these fine cuisines. lotsa alfredo sauce and no vindaloos any more sadly ;_;

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss this poll yay

saag ravioli

real talk in this thread

jeez u guys

jalfrezi u guys

eat thali every day lamp!

I love Indian Food like Chappatis, Poori, dals, rice, Saag, makki di roti etc.
I also like Indian restaurant where the Indian food is served. My Favorite Indian veg. restaurant is " Haveli - Indian Food Restaurant ".

another ilx travesty

bearing in mind that my only experience is the anglo simulacra for which i'm eternally guilty and apologize to the gods of cuisine i still think this was the right result within the confines of this entirely hypothetical split

i approve
