Which one do you think is better? Western food or eastern food?
I know I'm making a very broad comparison and most likely a vague one too because there is so much diversity within western and eastern cuisines that it's wrong and probably a bit daft to group everything together. But just for argument sake, broadly categorizing western cuisine as that including European, American and Australian cuisines and similarly asian ones as eastern cuisine, which one do you find better?
Nothing against our friends here from the west, but I find western cuisine (atleast the limited foods I have tried) to be very bland in taste and sometimes have even been surprised how a particular dish is so popular. I understand that a strong subjective bias, a cultural gap and a limited exposure to variety of foods is probably clouding my judgement. We have members from all over the world here who must have experienced a variety of global cuisines. Hence I wanted to ask the opinion of the ppers here.
P.S.: Don't ask me where does African cuisine belong. I haven't quite worked it out yet.

A KFC chicken tastes like cardboard to me. A good old tandoori or our very own chicken 65 wipes the floor with the KFCs and McDonalds that you find everywhere.
