Indian food often has a much higher proportion of purely vegetarian dishes (~50% or more) compared to these other cuisines, which I think is party responsible for the discrepancy.
- SwellJoe 10y agoThe discrepancy I see (that Indian food is pricey in most of the places I've lived, while the original article has it near then bottom), or the discrepancy between Chinese and Indian? I can't tell if you're saying the cuisine having more vegetarian options is a reason for it to cost more, or the opposite. Anyway, I'm vegetarian (vegan lately), so I'm always comparing vegetarian options across the board (and another reason I like Asian restaurants more than most other options; there's always more items on the menu that I'd eat). It seems like vegetarian options are usually cheaper than those containing meat, at Chinese restaurants. The same is not always true at a lot of other kinds of restaurant; for example, a burger place will usually charge more for a veggie burger, a pizza place will charge more for vegan cheese (if they even offer it), etc.
