I've never identified so strongly with the author of an article about bay leaves before.
after reading this article, i'm getting some laurel seeds to grow a plant. i need to stop living a life of lies and know the taste of fresh bay leafs.
It's weird how much this article sounds like conspiracy theorist logic - the author interviews expert after expert, asking them a question but refusing to listen to anything any of them say if they don't agree exactly with what (she? i can't find any pronouns on her website or Twitter profile) has already decided is the truth.
it's a bit. the narrator is a character. the takeaway is meant to align with the consesus of the interviews - fresh bay leaves have quite a bit of flavour, but the dried stuff in a jar you find at walmart is mostly bullshit
Ah, okay, that wasn't obvious to me at all. I took it at face value as being the opinion of whoever wrote it.
