When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.
Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.
This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

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.
So yes, i personally think of it as unusual.
And takeout food shouldn't have aesthetics, of course. Who'd want that!?
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.
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.
