It's a common foodie no-no, as if it somehow changes the flavor.

I learned this years ago when I was supplying a local coffee house with a flourless chocolate cake I used to make. I would frost it as specified in my recipe (top and sides) but discovered from the coffeehouse that it wasn't selling well at all. So what did I do? I added some chocolate shavings to the side. Made it look prettier. The flavor of the cake remained exactly the same. And yet, it sold out, and faster than the other cake had.

When it comes to food, people are idiots. And traditions just make that idiocy worse.
