Who the fuck uses bay leaves in Mexican food?
Mexicans.
The cook really should be picking the bay leaves out. No one wants to eat a bay leaf.
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.
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.
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.
Huh. Maybe I’ll try it
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.
Like a cat with a hairball.
While that is true, not recognizing a bayleaf is a sign of embarrassing stupidity.
ignorance, but yeah. Who hasn’t encountered a bay leaf by adulthood?
