Had breakfast at an Indian wedding (in the uk), was sooo good. It was... curried stuff, y'know? Thank you, my incredible memory.

Breakfasts I had in India basically revolved around eggs, bread and fruit. Nothing to write home about.

every time I've thought, I would rather be eating ice cream
I'm the total opposite, I realized recently that 'regular ice cream' is basically my least favorite types of frozen dairy dessert...prefer gelato, frozen yogurt, sherbert, custard
― iatee, Sunday, 6 November 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
least favorite type

in the most one-note, reductionist, misguided, ignorant reading of this poll: curry w/ rice >>>>>>>>>>> pasta w/ tomato sauce.

Because of this thread I am totally sauteeing some garlic in butter and dumping in a can of tomatoes. Thank you, all.

i am eating a tuna sandwich and its the first thing ive gotten to eat since about 8 am because i didnt get a lunch break and i kind of hate this poll and anyone who has the option to eat either of these cuisines right now (or really anything better than a soggy tuna sandwich at this moment in time). (though in the future whrn im hungry or trying to lose weight i might just look up old loujag posts about food and creaming.)
also : indian.

man I am often with you on food-related issues but what are you even on about here. gelato is a thing, is what. anybody who gets all "gelato is vastly superior to ice cream" is posing but it certainly isn't ice cream's inferior.

come with me to a state where they allow ice cream to be made with >20% milkfat, you'll change your tune
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Monday, 7 November 2011 00:07 (twelve years ago) link
I concede that I am not familiar with the local ice cream milkfat laws

is that really a thing? tbf i cant even remember the last time i had ice cream.
― strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Monday, 7 November 2011 00:10 (twelve years ago) link
I spent a summer up at penn state, I think because of county laws you could make ice cream with 20% milkfat, it was glorious
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Monday, 7 November 2011 00:11 (twelve years ago) link
unfortunately since penn state is actually located at the gates to the entrance of hell you only had about .5 seconds before the intense searing demonfire vaporized your ice cream

― unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Monday, 7 November 2011 00:16 (twelve years ago) link
swarthmore is higher on us news I think that means the ice cream is better than penn state ice cream

Italian food is one of those unchallenging comfort things that it's stupid to say you like because EVERYONE LIKES IT EXCEPT VEGANS AND WEIRDOS. It's way cooler to say you like I don't know one specific kind of kimchee, or unagi sushi or something. You know what? I fcuking love Italian food, Americanized or otherwise. To me, there's no greater flavor range in the world than garlic + tomato + lemon + rosemary, and 100 variations on that theme.

Laurel OTM. Though for me it's more about the magic TOMATO AND CHEESE combination. Also, pasta is approximately a billion times nicer than rice.

lol'd really hard at this
Also, pasta is approximately a billion times nicer than rice.
we had this discussion I think and rice destroyed pasta and pasta was all cowering in a corner goin ok yeah I concede that I am not as good but can I still exist? and rice showed mercy because rice slays, that's how I remember it anyway

I would like to have fresh made pasta one day instead of the hard stuff that comes in plastic bags

Rice is just about the only base carb foodstuff that I don't like. Potatoes = nom, bread = nom nom nom, pasta = om nom nom nom nom nom.

You can have the rice! I don't want it! Actually, I think in a carb poll I would probably vote bread over pasta. Actually, have we done that yet?

the best indian food i've had is probably more delicious and exciting and wondrous than the best italian food i've had but i couldn't have indian much more than twice a month or so. italian i could eat 3-4 times a week.

voted indian. i've probably gotten more enjoyment from italian in my life overall, but recently the takeout/delivery italian place around here always delivers soggy/greasy gross food that i'm never in the mood however. however the local indian place is always delicious and recently we've actually been ordering indian more often than italian. so indian it is.
― Mordy, Monday, 7 November 2011 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
however. however i do love both
i eat some kind of italian food ridiculously often, like probably 3-4 days a week, but if i could afford it/knew enough places to eat or things to make, i'd gladly eat indian that often instead or additionally. so i think i'll vote for indian.

This is utter madness, I became more vegetarian than I ever used to be thanks to proper homemade Italian food. Lentil soup with garlic, ceci (chickpeas) with tomato and chilli over pasta, fennel salad, salad in general. All vegan. I dont think Ive ever been to a decent Italian restaurant that has put cheese all over a dish without asking, either, except for obvious things like a pizza, or a green salad if it incs shavings of parmesan.
