  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.

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

    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.

    Like a cat with a hairball.

  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.

      I 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.
