True, as a native English speaker, English sucks lol. There are a bunch of similar words but their meaning is different and they’re only to be used in certain contexts.
Bay leaves contain several different fatty acids which, when cooked, are transferred into your food. Fatty acids have a large effect on the flavour and nutrition of food. Next time to cook plain rice, add a few bay leaves to the pot and you will notice the change in flavour.

je ne sais quoi is what one of the “chefs” said it adds.
Do you know what that means? Do you? It directly translates as ’ I don’t know what ’ Bay leaves are bullshit
i have yet to find a main dish that is not getting better when adding pepper.
Pancakes, the sweet ones
