Anything is possible if you just bay leaf in yourself!
Sage advice
sir, you took a wrong turn. dadjokes@lemmy.world is thataway.
Lettuce talk about this
Qinua have a discussion about this…
Lmfao my literal only posts on lemmy are in that sub 😅
Please leave
Please, leaves
If you don’t think a bay leaf is doing anything, go ahead and do an A/B test next time you cook. Enjoy the revelation.
They should probably find some fresher bay leaves too. Really good quality ones are game changing.
Or just get a plant - they’re pretty hardy things! Get a little baby bay tree for your balcony or doorstep! Just make sure you bring them in over winter if it gets below freezing regularly or it’ll go into hibernation
Was gonna suggest that, too. It kinda fills in the gaps you didn’t notice were there.
It’s easier to just make bayleaf tea and taste it. This also works to show the contrast between fresh bay leaves and dried, and decent dried bay leaves and super old stuff that’s been sitting at the back of your spice cupboard for 10 years.
Would it help to slightly salt the water that you’re using to do the A/B test? Or if that’s unnecessary?

Pretty much everything you cook should have salt added or it will taste bland. Salt brings out other flavors. There’s a reason “under seasoned” is an expression that often simply means “under salted.”
Bay leaf is a subtle flavor that makes soups and stew taste “fuller”, if that makes any sense. If you feel like the soup/stew you made taste like it’s missing something, add some bay leaf and try again.
I always put cumin and a couple of leaves on my bean stew.
I also cumin my soups
It would be so nice if we changed everything to be phonetically correct.
👏The hero we don’t deserve. Thank you.
yeah, coz men r queuein’ up to put something in the soup
I also poupon my soup for extra flavor.
Really glad there’s not an extra space in this sentence
I actually rewrote it cause at first it was “I put bay leaves and cumin in my stew”
Thanks Margot Robbie
You’re welcome. Support the strike!
I should do a cooking show sometimes.
Also add some vinegar, white wine or lemon.
This is the way. It’s usually missing a touch of acidity.
Replace the water with wine, got it
Just skip the cooking part, got it
In fact fuck the meat and vegetables

Pssh… just put it in your mouth after taking it out of the soup.
I choked on one the chef forgot to remove in a restaurant once. I’d say they’re not just floating there, they’re waiting.
When my wife and I cook we don’t bother taking them out. If you find one, you win dinner.
When you find one it means you kiss the cook.
Remove? Are you the princess of china or what? It was a tradition in my home, whoever got the bay leaf got a letter from a far away relative and could read out an inventive message.
Bay leaf is fucking delicious. Sometimes I just toss one in my lunch ramen.
It’s euromami.
If your bay leaves do nothing to the flavor of the dish, then they’re too old and should be replaced.
Bay leaf is the best part of my smoked salmon brine. It stands out.

That lazy bastard always leaves early too. Never even stays for dinner.
I use dark mode for a reason. FU.
Nobody cares and no platform is interested in catering to your personal specific preferences. This is now the second post I’ve seen you commenting this needless garbage on; please kindly shut up and cope
Sorry.
I meant fuck you, bitch.
Fuck you.
Why don’t you care?
🍿
It does worse than fuck all. It actively sabotages the end product by being a desiccated hunk of tree bark in the finished product if it isn’t removed.
As much as I love the passionate energy, it’s literally got leaf in the name. It’s not bark.
We may need to bring psycho_chef into this.
Also if you don’t like bark then I guess cinnamon is out?
Are you thinking of cinnamon?
Someone put a whole ass leaf in my soup!
ass leaf has a different shape than bay leaf
