Im not saying anything against that, i just say that i personally think of it as usual to leave such things in. And the review and awnser are in English, so probably From UK or USA. And calling leaving cinnamon sticks in the dish Coulter is pretty… Whats the cultural relevance of that? Is it supposed to mean something?
There’s an aesthetic quality to this. Some people (read: cultures) actually like the look of things like cinnamon sticks, etc. in their foods.
As someone else pointed out, the stick left in the food enhances the aroma which is a critical part of the food eating experience.
Having the whole ingredient right there is proof of what you’re using: it’s a form of chef flex. You can’t hide behind “cinnamon” that is largely artificial with a bit of wood pulp if the stick is staring the customer right in the face.
I’m sorry you’ve had such a narrow upbringing. I wish I could do something to undo that.

I said before that to Arrange plates that’s a different story, but that in the picture is takeout food.

Sorry but you can take the stick out before putting it on the plate, the few minutes more it gets in there won’t change the taste, you cook with it and then you let the food steep for a while, if you let it steep on a plate i would consider it unusual.

I’ll give you that point, but when im eating something i don’t care what spices you used, i care that it tastes good and won’t make me sick… But thats something subjective.

I have no idea whats your problem, I have grown up in Germany and live here for the most part, we have Foreign (as in not from neighboring countries) Cuisine mostly From Greece, Turkey, Japan and “China” (Also includes Mongolia and partially Vietnamese here)
(recently some places with Mexican food have popped up, but i sadly so far couldn’t find the time to go there, they are only in the large citys so far)
for all of them this behavior of letting things not meant to eat on the plate isn’t a thing, unless its for decoration on the plate, or at least in my experience.
I said before that to Arrange plates that’s a different story, but that in the picture is takeout food.
And takeout food shouldn’t have aesthetics, of course. Who’d want that!?
As someone else pointed out, the stick left in the food enhances the AROMA which is a critical part of the food eating experience
Sorry but you can take the stick out before putting it on the plate, the few minutes more it gets in there won’t change the TASTE …
I highlighted your reading incomprehension so you can learn the difference between “aroma” and “taste”. No need to thank me. It’s all part of the service package.

That would be your problem then, yes! We’re at the root of discovering the issue.
… we have Foreign (as in not from neighboring countries) Cuisine mostly From Greece, Turkey, Japan and “China” (Also includes Mongolia and partially Vietnamese here)
Trust me. As one German-born (Hemer) and partially German-raised (Mühlheim/M and Lahr) to another, what you have eaten as “foreign” food is so bowdlerized for German tastes that it is not even remotely similar to the places of origin. And the farther away the source culture, the less like the point of origin it will be.
Your “Chinese” food (whether including “Mongolian” and “Vietnamese” or not) will not even come close to anything I’ve eaten here in the past 20 years. Not a single Chinese-in-China person would look at what’s sold as “Chinese” food in Germany and recognize it as coming from their homeland. Even the basic, most fundamental techniques of cooking will be different to comply with German tastes (and likely laws).
You have a narrow upbringing. It’s not your fault, I want to be clear: most people have extremely narrow upbringings. (It’s the human condition!) What absolutely is your fault, however, is your persistent denial in the face of those with far more experience and knowledge than you.
But that’s the Internet for you I guess. That, too, is the human condition.
