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.

[–] SexyTimeSasquatch 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They should probably find some fresher bay leaves too. Really good quality ones are game changing.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Was gonna suggest that, too. It kinda fills in the gaps you didn't notice were there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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.

It would be so nice if we changed everything to be phonetically correct.

English in the Future - Steven Gearhart

Directors at Daimler Benz and Chrysler have announced an agreement to adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather than German, which was another possibility.

As part of the negotiations, directors at Chrysler conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement and have accepted a five-year phase-in plan. In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Also, the hard "c" will be replased with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers have one less letter.

There will be growing kompany enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter.

In the third year, DaimlerKhrysler akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.

DaimlerKhrysler will enkourage the removal of double letters, whish have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"'s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps sush as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" by "v".

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be droped from vords kontaining "o", and similar shanges vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis, and employes vil find it ezi to kommunikat viz eash ozer.

Ov kors al supliers vil be expekted to us zis for all busines komunikation via DaimlerKhrysler.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

I feel like this is already happening with people texting. Lol nice one. I do think the s and c swap "shange" doesn't make as much sense. English is awkward as it is so new words might need to be made. I'd honestly rather learn a new language that was built from the ground up that included what we have learned from the world's languages.

I also poupon my soup for extra flavor.

[–] charliespider 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really glad there's not an extra space in this sentence

[–] Zehzin 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I actually rewrote it cause at first it was "I put bay leaves and cumin in my stew"

[–] callcc 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Also add some vinegar, white wine or lemon.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way. It's usually missing a touch of acidity.

You're welcome. Support the strike!

I should do a cooking show sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Manifish_Destiny 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When my wife and I cook we don't bother taking them out. If you find one, you win dinner.

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.

[–] Squeezer 18 points 1 year ago

It’s euromami.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Bay leaf is fucking delicious. Sometimes I just toss one in my lunch ramen.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Bay leaf is the best part of my smoked salmon brine. It stands out.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

If your bay leaves do nothing to the flavor of the dish, then they're too old and should be replaced.
