Bay Leaves

[biggs682]

just under 11 years ago we planted a Bay tree it was all of about 1ft tall with about a dozen leaves it now stands over 6 ft tall and hundreds or even thousands of leaves . So if anybody wants a dozen leaves or so i am happy to pop them in a food bag inside a jiffy bag for the cost of postage .

Or can be collected foc

Love to put bay leaves in stews and mince when I use the slow cooker. Think I just bought a dried box a few weeks ago but I may take you up on the offer for some fresh ones.

We could count the leaves off one by one as they depart to new homes, that would be a jolly wheeze...

They're great to burn on the barbie for their flavour ... when we get some decent weather.

I've just eaten a stew in which I put in a bay leaf which I picked at a Farm in France,3 weeks ago. :0)

I love bay leaves too and use them in cooking all the time. I think they can be a bit variable in flavour from tree to tree. The one we have here seems pretty mild, but one I planted at my parents house in Norfolk is much stronger. I always grab a dozen or so leaves when I'm there. Lovely idea by the way O.P.

Good grief man, it's not as if they grow on trees

 

[Diggs]

It's a regular part of my cooking, popping out to the front garden to pick a couple to add to the pot

If anybody wants any bay leaves the tree is still growing and producing more than we eat
