I can't eat Indian food I'm allergic to their spices.

I love Chinese - both authentic and, to a lesser extent, the fakey Americanized stuff - but it's gotta be Japanese food. Very few regional cuisines rival it in freshness & attention to detail.

You have no idea how bad I feel for you right now. :'c

At least you can still probably eat some of the amazing desserts Indian cuisine has to offer, like gulab jamun.

Authentic Chinese food is awful. The focus is on picking small scraps of meat off bones and eating parts of animals the West mostly throws away. American Chinese food is more science experiment than food. Precise combinations of salty, savory and sweet that end up tasting absolutely delicious.

Neither. You'd only like "Asian" food if you grew up on that stuff. If you grew up in the west or any non-Asian country there's no way your pallet truly likes it unless you were raised on it.

That's a really stupid article. It goes to extremes on everything. "All Japanese people eat sushi all day every day" like does anyone actually think that? No.

Sushi is not a type of fish (your wording makes it seems like that's what you're saying), but yeah I understand what you mean and yes, I know there are more Japanese dishes with fish in them.

I've had authentic chinese when I was in china. I didn't think it was all that bad. I mostly remember having a soup that had a chicken head in it.

I love sushi and yakisoba and stuff like that. but there is probably more chinese I like so I guess I prefer chinese overall

Given that in the article they list examples of dishes that don't use fish as an ingredient I thought it was ok to link it here. In any case, they don't /just/ eat fish and I just thought it was funny that I was reading said article and happened to see the post I quoted, not a big deal at all really.

Real talk, here are the bad things about each cuisine.

Japanese food: Very very bland flavoring. They're a lot about natural flavors and very little seasoning. There's this very common light brownish that's common in a lot of their cuisine. It ends up giving a lot of Japanese food this annoying watered down soy sauce flavor. They use very little oil in general outside of sesame oil on sushi for the actual good sushi restaurants.

Chinese food: They're literally on the opposite spectrum where they just fucking use oil for everything. You'll have a shitload of food literally floating in oil. But they actually cook either leek or pepper to create their oil which gives their food this subtle nutty flavor. They somehow make American food look less oily in comparison.

I think overall though Chinese>Japanese. Lol at people who think anything American food is in any way better than any Asian cuisine though. There are like very very few sectors in the American cuisine that's actually cooking

People who claim they like Japanese food are thinking about all the Americanized sushi they have had in LA or bay area. People who think Chinese food is all greasy probably only had Chinese take out from Food4Less/China Max/etc. The average American breakfast isn't even pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. The typical food that Japanese/Chinese people eat everyday is

The food you eat at any restaurant is usually food that is eaten on special occasions or on weekends when families have the money/time to make that kind of food. Everyday American food is different from the food you'd get at an American restaurant.
