        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.

          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?

          I have a Thai uncle and I’ve never heard of this -but to be fair he is only an uncle. I have had his cooking though and never encountered any inedible spices.

        Food keeps cooking in the latent heat of the cooking pot even after it’s been taken off the heat and so whole spices are not usually removed from food unless the spices are in a bouquet garni, in which case the spice bundle is removed just before serving.

        Leaving the whole spice in also helps people who are allergic/ intolerant to a particular spice to avoid the dish.
