>>22010200 The issue is that mass production bay leafs are shit. A friend from Albania brought a jar and when added in water absolutely releases herbal notes. >>22010260 They do a bit, I jar peppers and have experimented with this. However calcium chloride works way better, but I hate using any produced shit in my peppers.
>>22010402 Nobody is asking you to like it bruh. You are being challenged to say that a bay leaf tea tastes like nothing, and when you inevitably lie about it to save face we can mock you for pretending to have no palate.
>>22010213 Not being able to tell the difference a core ingredient makes isn't something you should be smug about anyway. It's like having a dick so small you can't feel anything when having sex.
>>22010402 This response is a genuinely good example of low intelligence reasoning. Imagine posting this and thinking it was an actual counterargument.
>>22010200 I don't know what you are smoking, it's one of the most potent spices. Just one leaf in a stew changes the taste and smell completely. It's so strong I usually fish it out after preparing the food, so it does not overpower the stew over night.
It just has to be in something that simmers for 1+ hours. If you put it in something that cooks for 10 minutes then it won't do fuck all. Maybe you are buying shit quality.
>>22010200 Most dried bay leaves are fucked, they're way too old and the aromatic oils have evaporated. You need 4-5 basic-bitch supermarket tier dried leaves to mimic the flavor of a single fresh one.
>>22011387 light soy sauce tastes much different from dark though. if it was the other way around and the bigger measurement was dark then yeah that would be weird since the light would be overpowered.
This is where we find out that the guy making this dogshit thread topic every single time has a combination of fried taste buds or a weak sense of smell because of snorting cocaine which in combination with the meme "bay leaves taste of nothing" have led him to this stupid conclusion they don't actually smell or taste of anything, which they do.
It's not a particularly strong smell but how many of you would be able to identify the flavour of tarragon right now? Majoram? This guys been pissing me the FUCK off for months with this shit.
>>22012220 if i buy a whole jar they dry out before i can use them all. so i buy like 1 or 2 leaves at a time but then i never have any on hand for recipes. you cant win with bay leaves.
>>22012222 You can just buy a bay plant and let it live in your yard. You can just go out and take a fresh leaf from it whenever you need one, like any other herb.
>>22010200 i'm telling you right now, you will never taste it more strongly than when paired with human meat, I have no idea why, but it is life-changing
>>22012281 You can buy small ones that are like 2 feet. I did plant one and it grew into a huge bush that I have to cut down very often. Infinite bay leaves
>>22010200 Throw a whole fist of them up your ass and you'll see what they do real fast nigger >hurr durr i threw one grain of salt into a massive pot of soup and it don't do anything hurrpty durrpty how could this happen to me
