They’re very nice in Rabbit stew.

I’ve never been sure that bay leaves actually do anything for a recipe. But when they’re called for, I put them in, and then take them out again.

It’s amusing that the tree from which bay leaves are harvested: California Bay Laurel, has the same genome as the Mytrlewood which grows exclusively along the coastal range in Southern Oregon. But don’t tell folks in either area: They get downright regional about “Our Local Trees”! (We harvest “bay” leaves whenever we’re in the S Oregon coastal region.)

I don’t get this one?

“Shut up. We’re rabbits. We eat green stuff. This stuff is green. We’re gonna eat it.”

Bay leaves gotta be deer-and-rabbit resistant!

Bay leaves are the hokey pokey of the spice rack. You put them in and you take them out.

obviously, your Mom never taught you to cook

Flavours the rabbit from the inside out.. makes much better stew that way.

Makes soup taste like the seaside bay.

And why not! They are getting nutrition while soup boy is messing with hot water that is of no earthly use to rabbits.

You never eat the bay leaf. Its just for flavoring

If they’re Michael Bay leaves, you get explosive diarrhea.

BUNNIES!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3! :)

I thought that they said bay leaves Irish Cream. :)

Let them eat those leaves like they please. Makes them extra delicious.

Bay leaves don’t get soft when you cook them. They are just as rigid when you’re swallowing them as they were when you put them in the dish. As such, they are a choking hazard, and can even scratch your esophagus.
