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 ;_;

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 ".

indian is almost guaranteed to cause damage to my guts. or at least yr east london curry will anyway, even in the nicer places.
italian seems to be sinned against quite frequently in restaurants, so many average or below average restaurants are "italian", ime.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Monday, 16 September 2013 09:39 (ten years ago) link
A bad Indian is worse than a bad Italian but there are so many bad examples of both pretty much anywhere you go. A good Indian beats a really great Italian though, even in a really good Italian restaurant you get past the antipasti/pasta courses and the options can seem nice but not terribly exciting.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 September 2013 09:43 (ten years ago) link
i guess the thing with "Italian" is that it relies a lot on quality of ingredients - obv to a large extent all cuisine does, but a lot of Italian dishes seem to be about simple stuff presented to its best advantage. this is why i cook pasta dishes two or three times a week but don't do my own "Indian" meals anything like as often
i know that this is all very broad generalizations
― i'm not racist, i just dislike rap (Noodle Vague), Monday, 16 September 2013 11:17 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I would agree with that. The best Italian meals I've had haven't been doing anything earth-shattering in theory but have just been sourced and prepared impeccably.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 September 2013 11:23 (ten years ago) link
same with spanish imo, to an extent.
i feel like loads of great cooking prob has roots in italian ways but this isn't what many "italian" restaurants do.

microwave italian food vs microwave indian food would be a better poll
― ^ sarcasm (ken c), Monday, 16 September 2013 11:58 (ten years ago) link
still Indian, possibly by a wider margin imo
― i'm not racist, i just dislike rap (Noodle Vague), Monday, 16 September 2013 12:01 (ten years ago) link
microwave lasagne though (horse or not) is truly beautiful
― ^ sarcasm (ken c), Monday, 16 September 2013 12:05 (ten years ago) link
whereas microwave chicken jalfrazi is always a bit..
Which foodstuff has more tomato and cheese? Hmm.
― emil.y, Monday, 16 September 2013 12:11 (ten years ago) link
that wd normally sway me but i think i wd take "mexican" over "indian" over "italian"

that seems accurate imo. i can buy some arugula from the farmer's market, sautee with garlic and olive oil and serve it with pasta and it's very simple and easy to prepare but delicious. indian food is definitely one my favorite cuisines but when i cook it i'm making basmati rice, a dal, vegetables, maybe some roti and pickle and it's sublime but a little more demanding
― marcos, Monday, 16 September 2013 16:30 (ten years ago) link
i had brilliant italian food last night (at sotto in the beverlywood section of l.a.), and today i'm going to an indian lunch buffet. i will report my findings to the thread once i am good and stuffed.

I made lamb rogan josh 2 days ago and went to Jamie's Italian yesterday. The rogan josh was amazing (and mostly out of a packet type thing, which NEVER happens) but Jamie's Italian was so full of butter and fattiness without much substance, therefore I declare Indian to be the winner.Really into spiced cauliflower atm too yummm

Well, your first mistake was going to Jamie's Italian.
People cooking Indian from scratch will do well to remember that less is more...

our dinner at sotto was:
grilled bread with olive oilkale/ricotta frittatatomato-braised octopus with chickpeas (flavored with preserved lemon)margherita pizza (with lovely char; I dipped the crust into the olive oil from the bread starter)olive oil cake with oven-roasted grapes
just putting that out there.

wld probably still vote indian because i've had curries that have changed my life but i've eaten some v amazing italian food since this poll took place. pheasant ravioli, mint & asparagus risotto, arancini, the richest ragu, quail risotto (risotto w/ the proper finish & texture is the product of some rare magic)... these are my two fav cuisines

Haven't had much Italian food these past four years and not really missing it. As long as I can have a gluten-free pizza now and then and some limoncello, I'm good. I did miss tiramisu but it doesn't even occur to me anymore. Tiramisu just doesn't measure up to gajar halva.
