as a Jew who travels a lot to France for work, I have a lot of experience with both cuisines.

French food: it's not by accident that more expensive restaurants are French or French fusion than any other cuisine. Also, sometimes people don't realize that some really basic dishes are typical French. Steak frites is a hunk of steak and french fries!! You also get to have it with great wine and then great cheese at the end. Totally simple, and totally awesome. Then there are some great simple and hearty stews and such, and the different regions of France have some interesting variety with seafood that you wouldn't normally associate as "French".

of course, there is also escargot and bone marrow and stuff like that.

Chinese: ok, I lied, I've only had Western Chinese food, but I was basically raised on it. I crave it a lot, and it's kind of a guilty pleasure b/c so much of it is fried and coated in heavy sauces that you're not really sure what you're eating. My ex used to make homemade Kung Pao a lot, which was really simple and delicious and more like I picture authentic Chinese food to taste like.

The only 'real' Chinese food I've had was Dim Sum and I couldn't stomach it, and I eat almost everything.

so, they are both good for different cravings I have.

edit: a Chinese friend from B school had his wife cook our group like 15 dishes one night. It was great, but I had no idea what a lot of it was, and her English was pretty bad, and his wasn't much better.

also, blue. this one shouldn't need an explanation.
