That is a very difficult decision on just one. I love my Italian foods like pastas etc but I love my Chinese food as well. I can honestly say that I just can't pick one and that I would have to pick both of them. It's just to hard cause when I have a craving I have a craving for them and it usually is quite often for both.

I suppose it really depends on the mood I'm in, but I would generally go for Italian food.
But it also depends on what kind of Chinese food you're talking about because I know there's the "Americanized" Chinese food which is significantly different from "real" Chinese food. American Chinese food I can handle, but after having a "real" Chinese meal in Chinatown, I wouldn't do it again.

This is really tough. I love pasta dishes and find them really quite versatile to change as i'm a vegetarian. I also love chinese, my local does tofu perfectly. Do I have to choose? Maybe slightly more towards Italian.
Okay so Italian four times a week and Chinese 3 times!

That is a difficult decision. I have more access to Italian food, but when offered to go out to eat, I always want Chinese. I think that pizza is one of my favorite foods, though. I always end up eating it because I cannot find anything else that I would rather eat at the moment. I love both.

I dunno, those were my 2 most favorite kinds food... Italian and Chinese. Okay, I guess it'll be Chinese because I am partly Chinese and it is only proper to love ones heritage, culture and food. LOL Oh dear, your question is so difficult. Thanks anyway.

It's not easy to choose because each italian or chinese have different techniques in making their food. I really do not want to choose to both of them because i love each italian or chinese food. I really do not think about who made the food as long as i love the taste. I am not into particular people who made it. Your question is good because you want to know other people points of view. Thanks for asking.

I like them both a lot. I have got to say Chinese, with Italian as a close second. I have not had Chinese in quite a while. I really miss it. I like all kinds of Italian. I like the spices. I enjoy Chinese chicken,chicken fried rice among an array of other Chinese cuisines.

Yes,it is really a tough decision.
But I am more familiar with Chinese food. In China every province has its own kind of food. I love Guangdong food best!

I love them both, but If i have to chose between, it would have to be Italian, because I have to have my pizza

I love both but since I have been having Chinese food all my life, I would prefer Chinese. A basic simple dish will taste so good without much hassle.
While Italian food, as they are passionate about their food, I normally have it on special occasions and depends on my mood too.
Both are great cuisines and it's unfair to have to choose between them :)
