"One debate. One choice. Between French or Italian cuisine which would you say was the best? I’d go for Italian." Definitely Italian , and the wine by a long way. French wine is so pretentious & overrated you can get great DOCG like Barolo for £20 I could live on pasta, pizza, bruschetta, olives, olive oil, caprese…. And Barolo | |||

"Italian wins any day." So apart from pasta and tomato, what's your favourite Italian dish? | |||

"Both are great. French pay a lot of attention on quality of ingredients and it's provenance and dishes can often be technically challenging amd some unsual for many people. They certainly make the best bouillabaisse and who can refuse a lovy pastiche on a hot afternoon. Italian cuisine is also great and if you like pizza and pasta, nobody can make it as good. Some of their sauces are wonderful but personally I find that sometimes they ho too far with the passata. Both have great cheeses and wine but each suit different situations. In short, why choose, enjoy both but of course the real deal rather than the stuff you get in supermarkets or even French or Italian restaurants in this country. To be fair the stuff you get in somr Italian restsaurants here are far removed from the authentic dishes cooked by Italian families. Usually french restaurants, although rather expensive, they stay truer to the original. Then don't forget that Portuguese, Greek and Spanish even authentic dishes are amazing. Nobody does fish like the Greeks and the Portuguese and you can't beat some of the cold meats of Spain. Bon appetit "the French really know their bread. | |||

"Going to Rome in Oct not really looking forward to the food tbh x" I'm sure there's a French restaurant there. Don't get your pockets picked though | |||

"I never see any French restaurants about. I don't even know what they have on the menus. At least with an Italian I know what I'm going to get." Peterborough is the perfect and frustrating example of this. | |||

"Going to Rome in Oct not really looking forward to the food tbh x" Good tip, find little restaurants off the main tourist bit, food was so much better and so much for your money, and less commercial dishes too, more traditional cuisine x Tinder x | |||

Peterborough is the perfect and frustrating example of this." It's not only Peterborough. I stay throughout the UK with my job and I never see a French restaurant anywhere! I always spot an Italian and others, but French never. Are people referring about eating in France or what?  | |||
