They put fresh mint in just about everything they cook including things like beef stew and sandwiches. I do not want to taste mint in beef stew or sandwiches.

The Thais do this too. I don't care for mint in anything but toothpaste and mouthwash and gum. Not in food, especially meat dishes. Guess it's a taste thing.

I found a little place in Austin, TX that made the best Banh mi. They even baked their own French bread...almost as good as Paris.

Well, mint is OK in candy! ;-)

Many years ago I worked in a well known hospital who sent medical teams all over the world. A neck surgeon took a team to the Philippines to remove thyroid tumors and would do 20+ surgeries a day. They would toss these into a bucket and in the evening would empty the bucket out a back window where feral cats would rush in to gobble them up.
