Reminds me of people complaining their vanilla flavored things having nasty little black dots.
Lol these are always funny. Look up people complaining about a “leaf” in their food when the recipe uses Bay Leaf. It’s like complaining someone put leaves in your tea.
I will say though, I’ve had curry where the bay leaf is chopped up which makes it rather obnoxious.
Aren’t bay leaves supposed to be removed after cooking?
it’s still fucking weird to me that cinnamon is tree bark.
We were at a very authentic Chinese restaurant and and a family showed up and asked waiter for recommendations they said the roast duck is very good which is very true. The roast duck shows up to their table and the guy takes a bite and bites straight into bone and he starts loudly complaining how there’s bones in it and why isn’t there meat and that chicken has a lot more meat and why doesn’t the duck have more meat and that this is a rip off and then it’s all bones and he’s mad that they sold him this. The restaurant ended up taking back the dish and giving them a refund simply because of the customers ignorance it was so cringe.
This is exactly why some Chinese restaurants have a special Chinese menu that you need to ask for.
To be fair, not every Chinese restaurant knows how to slice duck properly. The proper way slices the meat and skin off of the bones, so that each piece has a bit of meat and skin, and presents the flesh separately from the bones.
Some places though just hack into the carcass so that every piece has bone. They say it’s ‘fun.’ I as an ethnic Chinese say it’s ridiculous. I have had it done right and I have had it done poorly and surprisingly the price point is the same! Some places really skimp on the seasoning too, at the same price point.
Other dishes tend to be fairly similar across different restaurants but it seems like with duck you can really tell who gives a shit / was trained properly as a chef.
Idiotic behavior but who puts a cinnamon stick in there?
It’s a spice. Where else should it be?
Taken out after cooking? You don’t usually serve with the thing in. At least where i worked.
It depends on the culture. In Thai cooking for example it is purposely left in. Generalizing all cultures based on your own limited experience is incredibly ignorant. People are telling you it’s common and instead of just looking it up and confirming it’s true, which it is, you’re digging your heels in to maintain your ignorance.
