Here in Austria, I also think it's hilarious how cookbooks always lists "beef stock" in the ingredients, and then refer to a recipe for beef stock, but in reality everyone just uses soup powder (which is mostly salt, MSG, and fat). And the funniest part is how some people claim they don't tolerate Asian food because of the glutamate, but when they eat at traditional Austrian restaurants they have absolutely no issue with all the glutamate in the beef soup. Or how every steak restaurant has the chefs secret spice mix which is basically just some herbs mixed with a generous scoop of MSG.
