run your bay leaves through a grinder and snort it like they used to do. Roman marching powder they called it.

quote:Bay leaves are used in Eastern Orthodoxy liturgy. To mark Jesus' destruction of Hades and freeing of the dead, parishioners throw bay leaves and flowers into the air, letting them flutter to the ground. Gotta say: the Eastern Orthodoxy have the better Jesus, Y'all protestants should reconsider.

I remember when somebody was trashing the reputation of an amazing local Asian restaurant on the town FB, claiming there was a cockroach in their food. The health inspector determined that it was in fact a black cardamom pod.

When it's cooked in a dish it's not nearly so obvious, I can tell you that. It's left me freaking out for hours on occasion. I grew up surrounded by roaches and it's a Thing. Even after I'm sure it's not actually a roach, the mind goblin won't let it go.

this is why northern Europeans bleach their cardamom. so they don't mistake it for roaches. also, regular cardamom is way too spicy!

I will admit I don't understand the bay leaf. I don't know what flavor it supposedly adds. I don't know why it's so special that it has to remain a whole leaf during the process. Then you take them out? What a hassle. Who needs 'em.

Bay leaves have the same purpose as MSG, they just don't dissolve and have bad texture.

Use a bay leaf or two in the boiling water for mashed potatoes. It adds a savory note that you can pick up pretty easily.

one of my favourite cooking youtube channels recently did a bay leaf episode where they blind taste tested a bunch of dishes with or without bay leaf and even the sceptical amongst them were able to discern which dishes had added bay leaf and also said that it made them taste better

Next you'll be telling me that you should add salt when you're cooking even if you're not trying to make something that tastes salty!  AcidCat posted:I will admit I don't understand the bay leaf.

No more unpleasant roachlike pods in the food. *the cheap stuff, you want just a clean cloth.
