minus-squareHeyJoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up31·2 days agoThey 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.

minus-squareAeri@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 days agoYeah 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.
minus-squarepet the cat, walk the dog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoTBH 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.
minus-squarerc__buggy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoNah, 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.
minus-squarenickiwest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoI 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.
