The cook really should be picking the bay leaves out. No one wants to eat a bay leaf.

    They probably do, but finding them all every single time is almost impossible. I know I've had a few pop up in my own food over the years.

    TBH I have no idea why bay leaves aren't ground like other herbs — despite having spent my childhood watching my mom regularly put bay leaves in her cooking.

    That might also be why I detect barely any taste in bay leaves.

    Nah, you don't want that. I don't think the leaf would grind very well and it's just supposed to be a hint of spice in the final dish.
