Although this is tough, I feel Italian food is more adaptable and has a far greater range of styles, levels of refinement and combinations of taste and texture.

French food sometimes feels overly extravagant. Like borderline raw beef, or actual raw beef, all the butter from the beef, before it became beef, and then cream, and possibly cheese.

What's worse, they don't get fat. So that makes things easier too.

I've eaten in a restaurant in France, and the food was too fatty.

I've had Italian food in the UK many times and it was nice, but my mind wasn't blown.

I'd still go with Italian, as my experience of French is limited; plus they eat snail and frogs legs

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

Like if you take restaurants out of the mix,

It has to be Italian,

It's just in their Genes to be able to pull of restaurant level tasting food,

France not so much.

How many Italian restaurants have these on their menus or supermarkets for that matter?

1. Chicken Sorrento

This dish takes just 15 minutes from stove to table: Simply sauté boneless, skinless chicken breasts, then simmer them with frozen stir-fry vegetables and a creamy Italian dressing.

2. Scallops with Creamy Pesto

For a main dish that's sure to steal the show-but not your time-whip up this luscious 10-minute entrée featuring sautéed fresh scallops served over a blend of pesto sauce and heavy cream.

3. Grilled Chicken Risotto

This 30-minute meal is full of colorful veggies. After cooking the risotto, grill the zuchinni and chicken and stir it all together along with peas and tomatoes.

4. Italian Steak and Peppers with Creamy Polenta

The steak pairs perfectly with creamy polenta. Sautéed onions, peppers and mushrooms are tasty toppings.

5. Chicken Milanese

After cooking the chicken, just add in coated beans and tomatoes. Fold in the greens, and top this delicious dish off with lemon wedges.

6. Tuscan Lamb Shanks

This rustic recipe is bursting with heady flavor, featuring lamb shanks cooked in chicken broth with plum and sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, cannellini beans, peas and marinated artichoke hearts.

7. Open-face Sausage Pepper Sandwiches

Add extra flavor to chicken or turkey sausage by drizzling it with balsamic vinaigrette before roasting; once done, serve it on a toasted baguette topped with melted mozzarella cheese.

8. Chicken Cacciatore Parmesan

Add extra flavor to traditional chicken cacciatore by topping breaded chicken breasts with sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms and olives and a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella, before baking until bubbly and golden brown.

9. Grilled Cod with Caponata

Marinated cod is served alongside onions, peppers and eggplant in a tomato sauce for an Italian take on seafood. Feel free to substitute the cod for steaks or whitefish fillets.

10. Italian Lentil and Vegetable Stew

Simple and savory, this dish is ideal for vegetarians, featuring lentils slow-cooked with an array of veggies in a garlic-infused marinara sauce.

11. Veal Parmigiana

Smothered in marinara sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese, this Italian-restaurant favorite is easy to make at home.

12. Italian Veal Stew

Reminiscent of the stews from Northern Italy, this slow-cook recipe renders veal unbelievably tender and fragrant, as it's cooked in a dry white wine broth with rosemary, shallots and tomatoes.

French.

I'm not keen on Italian food, particularly pasta as I find it dull and uninspiring, like eating rubber johnnies.

I also hate white cream sauce and red tomato sauce, and they will insist on smothering their dishes in it.

German cooking on the other hand, or other Scandinavian (No fish, mind) cooking..mmmm .

I like Spanish too (when they don't go mad with the red sauce nonsense either)

The best French restaurants in UK are high end, high price whereas many Italians cater for a mid budget audience, and pizza and pasta are cheap dishes to produce. I don't know Peterborough but I imagine its more a Nandos kind of town.

Snails had 'em can't remember the taste. Lobster was hard work and I had my first artichoke there too.

The things they can't do: fresh pasteurised milk (ironic when you look at that surname), white sandwich bread like we do, real ale (No wonder John Thaw only lasted 12 months in Provence!). Flavoured crisps can only be found in irish shops.
