Anything is possible if you just bay leaf in yourself!
Sage advice
Thymeless comment.
Parsley what you did there
More puns cumin up.
The puns stop here! Anymore and I’ll as-salt you
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 😅
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.
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.
Also add some vinegar, white wine or lemon.
Replace the water with wine, got it
Just skip the cooking part, got it
In fact fuck the meat and vegetables
This is the way. It’s usually missing a touch of acidity.
Thanks Margot Robbie
You’re welcome. Support the strike!
I should do a cooking show sometimes.
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.
Try making a bay leaf tea and let me know if it doesn’t taste like anything.
Pssh… just put it in your mouth after taking it out of the soup.
It’s euromami.
Bay leaf is fucking delicious. Sometimes I just toss one in my lunch ramen.
Bay leaf is the best part of my smoked salmon brine. It stands out.
If your bay leaves do nothing to the flavor of the dish, then they’re too old and should be replaced.

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

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
