    Chinese for various reasons.
    Mostly I like the all you can eat places around here.

    I voted Spanish because I like Chinese and all, but it's just, it's just kind of like McDonald's, just like a guilty pleasure or whatever.

    Spanish food, you can go out to eat and it isn't cheap-tasting.

    I mean sure, I don't like going out to eat, but I'd definitely pick a Spanish restaurant over Chinese food.

    Pretty odd choices. I prefer Spanish because I'm from Spain and I've had a lot of good home-made Spanish food. Spanish food is underrated :slight_smile:

    You type in "Spanish cuisine" on Google images and ALL you get is paella. There's more to Spanish food than paella, people. I love tapas myself :slight_smile:

    Is this Chinese as in actually from China, or generic Asian takeaway?
    Either way, definitely Chinese. I've been to Spain. I'm not all that familiar with the cuisine, but while it's good, I prefer the flavor and the daring mixes of Chinese food. I also grew up on various Southeast Asian recipes, so... that influenced me.

    Now... Why do you ask?

    I honestly can't judge since my experience with Spanish cooking is limited. For that matter, it could possibly be argued that my experience with Chinese is limited in that I've only had it here in the Pacific Northwest. Someone who went to China swore that the experience there is far removed.

    Night Rain is correct. I love both. I would not be able to decide, although neither are as good as Greek and Japanese.

    I haven't had a lot of Spanish food, but by virtue of me not liking Chinese cuisine, then I guess Spanish wins by default.

    Peruvian! Arruz chaufa is basically a Chinese dish brought to Peru by immigrants, then mixed with the local style. It's like spicy fried rice with eggs, chicken and aji sauce.

    I've never had Spanish, so Chinese. It's the most common ethnic cuisine I eat (Mexican food comes second).

    I saw a Youtube video where Chinese born people and Chinese-Americans were given Panda Express, and the Chinese born people seemed mostly fine with it while the Chinese-Americans hated it. Granted, the Chinese people acknowledged that it does taste somewhat different than food in China, they just didn't see that as a problem or the difference as overly large.

    By chance: do you mean Mexican under "Spanish" 0_0?

    Like...tacos. 'Cause I've never heard of Spanish cousin, at least not something popular, compared to say Mexican or Italian.

    But anyway: Chinese, unhealthy but spicy :slight_smile:.

    I'm going to assume you mean Mexican, just because it's the most popular ethnic food other than Chinese (in the US at least). I prefer Mexican. It just makes me feel more full & warm & happy, which all the best food does. Something about it just feels more warm & homey to me.

    Westernized "Chinese" food over Tex-Mex.

    Real Mexican food over real Chinese food.




    Although, wait, you said "Spanish" food...I really haven't had the opportunity to try a lot of Spanish (as in from Spain) food, so I wouldn't be able to judge it very well.

    Heh, never had "Spanish" cuisine - theirs is more mild, compared to Mexican. I'll say Chinese, even if most of that has been Americanized.
     
  20. Chinese food, because I can easily get Chinese food in the neighborhood I live it (almost 50% Chinese).
