@kimlockhartga@beige.party Bay leaves are a genuinely useful and beneficial thing. But they need to be fresh and bruised before using. All those people who insist the bay leaf is useless are using dry, stale and unbruised leaves. Well, you can't properly bruise a dry stale leaf anyway.

@RolloTreadway@beige.party @kimlockhartga@beige.party I have never been able to understand what they are supposed to do other than provide a little game of Find and Remove the Bay Leaf before serving. I've only had access to dried bay leaves so that might be the problem. Aside: People hate vermouth because they were never told how to store it properly. Buy the smallest bottle of vermouth you can get away with and keep it refrigerated. It's herbed wine and doesn't keep well.
