Posted by Zach I tried some recipes with bay leaf. Noticed no difference. Stopped doing it. But to each his own.
I second that motion.

Fresh bay leaf can help a pot of red beans. That's all I ever use it for.

Where are you from, OC?

I never ended up making my two batches of rice last night to try the bay leaf suggestion. I ended up having my red beans on top of crumbled crackers. I don't know what came over me, but that is the last time I will ruin red beans and rice without the rice.

Just wondering, does anyone have a laurel tree/bush that they use for their bay leaves?

Yes, I have five planted as a hedge around my A/C compressor and another one planted in my backyard orchard. All are about 2 years old and only waist high at this point. But they're large enough to provide me w/plenty of leaves.
Bay laurels are easy to grow. You can prune them into a taller, spreading tree or lop off the tops for a thicker, shrubby hedge. They do get some scale/sooty mold problems if in a damp spot or light shade, but a spritz of ultrafine oil will take care of it.

That's because most store-bought bay leaves are trash.
These are widely available, and are legit. They are actually green, too
Adds real depth to all stews/soups/roasts
Legit Bay Leaves
I am all about getting your own tree, though.
