Eli5: Why are bay leaves used whole, when every other spice is chopped or ground up?
In: 4471
Some moron at my old workplace thought it was a good idea to chop up bay leaves for the sauce. All it did was make you need to spit out a bay leaf every mouthful you had, it’s hard/sharp and not something you’d eat. Powdered bay leaf might be a different story.
Besides, removing a whole bay leaf is not hard, not many leaves are used
