Unbayleafable.
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.
Your presence is welcome, thanks for cumin.
LOL
That is fucking magnificent. If you’re not a dad your talent is being wasted on us mere mortals.
You won the internet today
She is a dangerous type of white person.
Chipotle is really resting on its laurels.
I can’t bay leaf that happened to her.
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.
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.
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
Flavour in my food?!
Real, natural flavour.
And likely also water, like from a toilet!
Complaining will not keep future leaves at Bay.
In fairness, I’m not sure anyone knows if bay leaves even do anything.
… 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?
Just smell it (not just bay leaves but whatever). If it has a smell, that aroma can be infused into cooking, though you’ll want to make sure it’s edible before just throwing it into dishes.
And you might need to sauté them for a bit (also called tempering) to infuse that aroma into oil, since it’s not all water soluable.
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.
Might as well just boil up a handful of grass from the local park, about the same.
Imagine now knowing what a bay leaf is. I have to assume this is just a rage bait post.
That’s where food comes from - trees, bushes, grasses, dirt.
Wait til she finds the bird meat in her chicken bowl or that they served her food on paper and metal
This chode sucks down ultra processed meat and is concerned about a leaf?
Since when is chipotle ultra processed? Can we be a littler more responsible about how we talk about things so that we don’t make the fight harder since just convincing people that ultra processed food is shitty.
Not if everything is the max then there it’s all just noise that’s gets harder and harder not to just dismiss
It’s just hilarious they don’t understand a bay leaf, but as Randal said that one time, they are one of today’s 10,000
Finding out how things get flavoured is a great learning experience when you are 5 or going on 85
Can we be a little more compassionate and kind to each other, even the people that will never see us or know how we respond. Just makes you a more pleasant and wonderful person
Edit: I’m in Canada and chipotle is relatively new so perhaps there are giant regional differences that I’m not aware of?
No, you’re right. Chipotle isn’t the highest grade food but there’s a reason it’s in a category above, say, Taco Bell. It’s servings are a little big, but it’s not unhealthy per se, except some of the more gimmicky items like “queso”, lol.
They do have a bad rep, but the hoopla about it giving you diarrhea is probably more because it sits out too long and/or spicy; fast casual is basically pre-prepped lower tier casual chain restaurant food (e.g. Olive Garden, Applebee’s, or whatever).
Taco bell gets grade D ground meat in a bag that was precooked and they set it in hot/warm water or w.e to get it ready for use.
Chipotle suis vide’s their steak and ships it in those bags, then they break the seal and sear it on a flatop to get it ready.
I’m hoping we consider the second more than a step above the first, but idk
Hehe, ok but I’m not sure what the intermediary is between those. I have much better options that are cheaper and tastier, at least for now (although 8 dollar chicken burritos are up to 12 now after obvious 2025 reasons… sigh).
I would say McDonald’s, Burger King, and every other restaurant that advertises 100% real beef, while still being bad quality is better than taco bells meat. The Bell doesnt claim it because it isnt even all beef. So while the 100% beef claim doesn’t mean much for quality, Taco Bell is a sin for the soul which is why it goes down so well drunk. (Sadly delicious) But I think quality wise it is something like Taco Bell < Arby’s < Burger King< McDonald’s< Wendys < Culvers/Five guys/ and shit like in and out because their stuff isn’t frozen in the last group. I’m sure I missed many, they are just off the top of the dome memories
Wait til they find out about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffed_leaves
