While that is true, not recognizing a bayleaf is a sign of embarrassing stupidity.

The cook really should be picking the bay leaves out. No one wants to eat a bay leaf.

ignorance, but yeah. Who hasn’t encountered a bay leaf by adulthood?

Yeah 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.

TBH 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.

Nah, 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.

They 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.

we just tell the kids whoever finds the bay leaf “wins” and gets first dessert.
i can’t remember the last time i served dessert.

It’s always been framed as “good luck” in every family I knew growing up.
