In fairness, I’m not sure anyone knows if bay leaves even do anything.
I wasn’t sure myself, so i made a “tea” out of bay leaves to check, and i can confirm that they do in fact have a pretty distinct flavor.
… what?
Make a dish twice, once without the bay leaf. There is an obvious difference. It’s fine to not like the taste of any particular spice but saying there is none is sort of crazy?
That’s where food comes from - trees, bushes, grasses, dirt.
I worked with a dude who loved “ramen” but had never had it from a restaurant. He didn’t seem like he knew how to cook particularly well, and I’m not sure if he’d ever even left the suburbs he was born in.
One day he was talking about how excited he was to go to a real ramen shop over the weekend. So next time I see him I asked how it went. He sighed and said he got a veggie ramen because he found out the meat ones were “made with bone” and he was grossed out by it. I could only say “of course, that’s how you make good soup.” Then I had to explain how you make stock or split pea with ham soup, etc. I think I ruined soup for him.
I can’t bay leaf that happened to her.
Unbayleafable.
You won the internet today
came here to make a silly comment. i can see im not needed here.
Keep an eye out for another spice-related pun opportunity, your thyme will come.
That is fucking magnificent. If you’re not a dad your talent is being wasted on us mere mortals.
Complaining will not keep future leaves at Bay.
She is a dangerous type of white person.
Man, just wait until someone tells her where the rest of food comes from
I know folks, my boss and his family, who - if it doesn’t come from a box, powder, and/or plastic bag, will not be eating it. It’s really sad and I eat whole food in front of him all the time in hopes…
My friends mom has been trying the opposite- shes trying to avoid buying any plastic packaged food. Not so much out of concern for microplastics, but as a way to reduce her environmental impact.
Its also helped her eat much healthier- most candy is out, all her veggies are fresh instead of frozen, fresh meats instead of prepackaged ones, etc.
Now don’t go hate on frozen veggies, they did nothing wrong
Chipotle is really resting on its laurels.
The saddest part to me is how little more and more people know about cooking. Each generation seems to know less and less about the basics and rely more and more on fast food and restaurants to survive.
I can’t speak for everyone, but since the COVID inflation I’ve swore off most fastfood and exclusively cook for myself now. I’ve learned baking bread, making stocks, processing meat, canning, and so much more. It’s so much healthier, tastier, and more affordable. I think folks are coming back to cooking for themselves. It may not be the majority, but there are many of us that have mostly swore off eating out.
Anybody here ever worked at a chipotle? Do they really use bay leaves in their cooking? Let us know. Otherwise we can suspect OOP staged that photo and made a funny post for rage bait.
Yeah she’s stupid because she doesn’t know what that is, but the kitchen did make a mistake to not remove that leaf before serving.
Flavour in my food?!
And likely also water, like from a toilet!
Real, natural flavour.
When you’re dumb as door knob
At least door knobs are useful for something.
From the right perspective they do two things, relatively.
