Bay Leaves

[Salty seadog]

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

I love the flavour they give to a slow cooked dish. I've only used dry. Be interesting to see fresh compare. What is your opinion on yours.


I'll have a reasonable amount which I will leaf leave in your hands.

Cheers.

Some years ago I made a small mistake and bought a pack of dried bay leaves which seemed good value.

Something the size of a child's pillow arrived, and 95% is still in the cupboard some 10 years later

They're just fine you know! I may have to use an extra one or two, but let's face it, I've go plenty!

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

Errm, why?

the cost of posting would be more that the cost of a dozen leaves in the supermarket

plus in cooking dried leaves are generally preferable to fresh which are too strong in flavour.

We’ve got a bay tree too, it’s about the size of Croydon. So if there’s a panic buy rush on @biggs682 leaves, I’ve got plenty. Just sayin’.

Bay can be cut back very hard and will regrow.

Postage was rather cheaper in 2015 when this thread was originally started

This one has been cut back very hard once or twice already and is due another one soon

It was a quip on the comment that they'd cost less in the supermarket

Shame on you doing something so altruistic

Well I got my stash through this morning. Thank you @biggs682. No real scent to them until you pierce the leaf with a finger nail and then whoosh. There it is.

Will be going on the crock pot on Saturday which will be a chilli.

Cheers dude.
