Pad Thai, i dont want to catch the coof

I've never had either. I may have had Chow Mein but it would have been some cheap ass mall Mein. Didn't like Chinese last time I had it and it was an expensive place too. Now that I look back the only Chinese I've liked is all the battered and fried shit.

spoken like a true tender crushing fat ass

Chinese is ass bro. I'd rather have Turkish, Greek, Indian, Thai, Malaysian, Japanese, Spanish etc.

>>21110255
Both but for different reason which I won't discuss.

What even is Japanese food besides ramen and sushi, it's all anybody eats, the rest just seems like seaweed and fish and rice, about as bad as Scandi food or any sea obsessed people

They look the same to me.

Seafood, rice, fresh produce.

>>21110255
Alternate eating because you get bored with only one of them.

Miso

No contest, chow mein.

>>21110501
Chow mein is egg noodles tossed in soy sauce, oyster sauce, prob dark and light soy too and some veggies like bok choy and shit. Garlic, ginger, etc. It tastes like your typical chinese takeout flavors
Pad thai is rice noodles cooked in tamarind, palm sugar, and fish sauce usually also including dried shrimp, bean sprouts, and firm tofu; the whole thing is topped with crushed peanuts and green onions and served with a lime. It's supposed to have all 4 taste qualities: sour, salty, sweet, and spicy. And genger and garlic and shit

>>21110255
why not both?

>>21110497
Japan has a very restaurant focused culture and western restaurants aren't going to put the effort into serving you 9 small bowls of different foods. Also a lot of the shit would be expensive to source in the US and people wouldn't pay the markup like octopus, daikon, wasabi, various mushrooms. Even squid is hard to get in the US and most restaurants use pig asshole because they'd rather commit fraud than pay for it.

When japs cook at home it's super basic shit since most of them don't even have stoves.

this will all change when the jeets cause japan to become low-trust, especially when it comes to restaurant food hygiene, an outbreak of food poisoning will be a headline soon if it isn't already, and may spark MJGA

japs are super racist. I doubt any restaurant with a jeet on the staff would get any customers at all. restaurants in Japan also make barely any money so it's not exactly an attractive career choice. most restaurant workers are students, part time workers, or elderly just working to survive.

Lean Chow Mein.

Pad Thai is objectively more prep work/ingredient expensive to prepare to the point that it's only infrequently had in Thailand and almost never made at home and went eaten out is typically at restaurants where it's the only dish they make as a specialty. Pad Thai = US Pizza or Japanese Sushi in that way.

Chow or Lo Mein by comparison has a much higher payoff vs. the required time/effort/cost of input.

Racism is easily defeated by Jewish propaganda
Japan has no chance
It will rot like everything else

Yakisoba.

Pad Thai on every level. Shitty pad Thai is better than shitty chow mein, and high quality pad thai is better than high quality chow mein. From ingredients used to overall flavor.
