A local 29 year old man that still has no idea what bay leaves do has once again chucked a bay leaf into his meal in an attempt to feel a sense of maturity and sophistication.
Mitch Burnsill (29), a full time electronics salesman, has recently decided that it’s time to finally get a little sophistication into his life, including in the kitchen.
The long time bachelor has gotten into the habit of chucking a bay leaf into pretty much any meal he can justify chucking a bay leaf into, despite having no idea what it actually does.
“For the longest time I actually thought that they were gum tree leaves when I first saw them in action”
“But I noticed that my housemates usually take interest in anything I’m cooking with a bay leaf in it, so. it’s pretty much become a habit” Mitch explained.
However, when pressed on what exactly the bay leaf contributes to the dish, Mitch simply shrugged and muttered something about “depth of flavor” before quickly changing the subject.
Despite his dedication to this newfound culinary sophistication, he has yet to realise that you’re not actually meant to eat the bay leaf.
“Ohhhh, I did think it was a little bit of a challenge to get them down”
Still, he remains committed to the cause, even going as far as dramatically dropping the leaf into the pot as if he’s on a trendy New York based online restaurant show.
