If you had to choose between Chinese, Indian and Italian for dinner, what would you choose and why? What particular dish would you choose? Lately I've been into indian and have been eating vegetarian Indian heaps but someone here on Mylot mentioned Chinese buffets. I'm just imagining all the hot and sweet tasty dishes sitting there in the hot box..I'm drooling now! What would you choose?

I love chinese and italian cuisine... but since chinese dishes are readily available in my country... i think i would choose an authentic italian meal... if given the choice... i love italian pasta especially lasagna... i rarely eat indian food since i do not like spicy food that much...

Hey, Chinese food is awesome. Once in a great while, I go to a Chinese buffet place. It is awesome. I like Italian food a lot, too. I love both cuisines. For the most part, I go with Chinese meals.

hey coffeeshot, as its said that diner should always include something light. well i guess south indian "idli" or "plain dosa" n there's this "uttapam" that provides with both taste and nutrition n is light too.

It would be Chinese all the way. Italian just kind of gets old in my opinion. The flavors are really wide and varied and don't seem to use a lot of spices in my opinion. So, if I were to get anything for dinner it would be Chinese. I love Chinese Buffets because I can eat what I want, when i want.

If I had this choice this evening, it would be Chinese without a shadow of a doubt. Of the three, Chinese and Indian are my favourites but I get to eat Indian with a friend who is a very skilled cook fairly often. i can't remember the last time I ate Chinese though. When I have Chinese, I like to share a variety of dishes with a friend. The more people eating together the better, as the more things I get to get my chopsticks into! Always always there's some sort of sweet and sour balls on my menu, normally chicken. I love lemon chicken too, and ... gosh, loads of things. The best of the best though is crispy fried duck. It doesn't do so well in a takeaway, but eaten in a Chinese restaurant it is divine. It's two hours till dinner :-(

Italian! I love it even if it is so fattening. My favorite dish is lasagna. My favorite place to get it is Carfagnias. They make their own pasta so it is always fresh and tender and delicious. Add a little salad, a piece of Italian bread. Mmmmmmmm.

I have to have my Chinese made with out the corn starch, I don't like the heat of most Indian food so I'd probably chose Italian, I love Italian food anyway, tho I'm quite fond of Chinese too.

Ooh, that's a tough choice to make! Italian food is one of my comfort foods, so if I had been having a rough day, I'd probably go for that. But otherwise, it would really be a toss up. I think I like Chinese food more than Indian food, but that's mainly because I've had more exposure to Chinese food. Indian food still confuses me sometimes. :)

I would choose Italian. I've not tried Indian food before and I'm not really into much Oriental food. I wouldn't mind trying Indian food, so maybe I should do that. I just love pasta though. My thing right now is getting cheese ravioli and getting it with alfredo sauce. It's delicious. I'm not all that keen on tomato sauces.

May I please have all 3? If forced to choose from those 3 it would be Chinese, but I would hate to have to choose. That reminds me, I was intending to start a discussion about curry!

I would choose Chinese for definate, I love Chinese food, but it would have to be a sweet and sour dish as that is what I like the best and even though I often try other dishes, I always come back to sweet and sour.

I would pick Italian because I love, love pasta and pizza. If i were going to an Italian-American restaurant, then I would have a pizza. But if it was a Authentic Italian restsurant, I would have a pasta dish.

I love Indian food so much I would have to choose that and resist the Italian , don't mind leaving the Chinese food out as I am not too keen - not the way it is made here anyway! My favourite has to be Chicken Tikka, rice, Naan bread and some vegetable Pakora! Hmm I am actually now! xxx

I would always choose to have Chinese cuisine. I always enjoy Chinese food a lot. I go to a Chinese buffet restaurant once in a great while. There are couple local buffet restaurants in my area. They are all awesome. Are there any Chinese buffet restaurants in your area?
