The cook really should be picking the bay leaves out. No one wants to eat a bay leaf.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They probably do, but finding them all every single time is almost impossible. I know I've had a few pop up in my own food over the years.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

we just tell the kids whoever finds the bay leaf "wins" and gets first dessert.

i can't remember the last time i served dessert.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 23 hours ago

It's always been framed as "good luck" in every family I knew growing up.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

While that is true, not recognizing a bayleaf is a sign of embarrassing stupidity.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 22 hours ago

ignorance, but yeah. Who hasn't encountered a bay leaf by adulthood?

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah this is pretty much where I'm at, her reaction seems pretty stupid but I would be a little annoyed if I had to pick a bay leaf out of my mouth.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

Like a cat with a hairball.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

TBH I have no idea why bay leaves aren't ground like other herbs — despite having spent my childhood watching my mom regularly put bay leaves in her cooking.

That might also be why I detect barely any taste in bay leaves.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, you don't want that. I don't think the leaf would grind very well and it's just supposed to be a hint of spice in the final dish.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I live in a country where ground bay leaf is a very common spice to use. It's just another powdered spice in a jar or a bag like cinnamon or curry.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

Huh. Maybe I'll try it
