    Asian food sucks and is massively overrated. It’s all too sweet rather than salty as main courses should be and there’s way too much rice added to things and if it’s spicy it often has no flavour other than just spicy, Indian food (the yellow sauce stuff) at least usually preserves some flavour there. It also looks really ugly, brown colours especially in Chinese soups

      Asia is a wide continent, which countries are you talking about? Vietnamese and Thailand are geographically close for instance, but the food is very different.

        All of them. It looks the same to me idk what’s different. Japanese food is okay on occasion, ramen, sushi and gyoza are all pretty nice, or at least the ones at Itsu are but the rest of it I’ve tried is not my thing.

        Eastern European, Greek, Italian, Lebanese and American are my favourite cuisines personally, about as different as can be from Asian food haha.

          Sounds like you never tried actual Asian food, they are as different from each other as Eastern European to Italian.

          Anyway, you do you

            Based on their post history, it looks like they’re from the UK. From what I’ve heard, UK has good Indian food, but bad east Asian, SEA, and Latin American food.

            Italian and Eastern European isn’t all that different either tbqh, it’s why I like em.

            Most food everywhere is just roughly the same, it’s usually some bread with meat in it. Greek pita wraps are just a mediterranean burrito, which is roughly identical to a kebab, make it messier and you got shwarma, and all of those are just funny burgers, which is a way to make a british breakfast portable, gyozas are like pelmeni but big, fried and need soy sauce to go down rather than ketchup, and the marinated olives in taste profile aren’t all that different from pickled fish common in EE.
