Anybody here ever worked at a chipotle? Do they really use bay leaves in their cooking? Let us know. Otherwise we can suspect OOP staged that photo and made a funny post for rage bait.

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…

I had a relative once say that she’s vegetarian, won’t eat animals. I point out the chicken she’s eating and has always eaten, and she says “It’s from the grocery store, not an animal”. We had to have a long chat. People too divorced from real food and its sources, have some weird assumptions.

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.

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.
exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 hours ago
What are you talking about? Every generation in the US knows more about food than the ones before.
Boomers were raised on canned/frozen nonsense and basically had no variety. Their vegetables were underseasoned and overcooked. Their pickiness about cuts of meat left many delicious parts of the animals underappreciated scraps. They knew each fruit as basically one cultivar, like how all apples were the utterly mediocre red delicious. Even their bread was boring.
Their restaurant scene was pathetic, with Italian American food representing the pinnacle of exotic cuisine. Any immigrant opening a restaurant for American diners would have to carefully water down their traditions to fit American tastes and the American supply chain.
No thank you, I’d never travel back in time to eat or cook the way people did 50 years ago. Food is better now, and it’s largely because today’s cooks and diners know way more about food than people did back then.

Yeah I mean nowadays I feel like something like hello fresh or whatever meal delivery service (that still requires you to cook) is a big convenient treat. Delivery is so goddamn expensive, I ain’t made of money!

Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
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.

Who the fuck uses bay leaves in Mexican food?
eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 hours ago

Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 hours ago
Apparently it is common in Mexico itself. I had to look it up because I was also incredulous at using a bay leaf in a burrito.

There’s literally a species of laurel native to Mexico that indigenous Americans used in their food for thousands of years.
Bay leaves come from various plants and are used for their distinctive flavour and fragrance. The most common source is the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis). Other types include California bay laurel, Indian bay leaf, West Indian bay laurel, and Mexican bay laurel.
ickplant@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I was curious, here is what I found: “We use bay leaves to add a subtle depth of flavor to dishes like our beans, rice, Barbacoa, and Carnitas.” - this was off a reddit post, so who knows.

Use it in with rice all the time. Its a very subtle flavor but it definitely adds to it so it goes in.

The cook really should be picking the bay leaves out. No one wants to eat a bay leaf.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
They probably do, but finding them all every single time is almost impossible. I know I’ve had a few pop up in my own food over the years.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
we just tell the kids whoever finds the bay leaf “wins” and gets first dessert.
i can’t remember the last time i served dessert.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
While that is true, not recognizing a bayleaf is a sign of embarrassing stupidity.
rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
ignorance, but yeah. Who hasn’t encountered a bay leaf by adulthood?
Aeri@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Yeah this is pretty much where I’m at, her reaction seems pretty stupid but I would be a little annoyed if I had to pick a bay leaf out of my mouth.

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
TBH I have no idea why bay leaves aren’t ground like other herbs — despite having spent my childhood watching my mom regularly put bay leaves in her cooking.
That might also be why I detect barely any taste in bay leaves.
rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
Nah, you don’t want that. I don’t think the leaf would grind very well and it’s just supposed to be a hint of spice in the final dish.

Yeah she’s stupid because she doesn’t know what that is, but the kitchen did make a mistake to not remove that leaf before serving.
