People who want to be foodies but don't recognize the common bay leaf...or as we used to say "you got the bay leaf! You get to wash dishes!"

I guess you could say it was un-Bay Leaf-able....

It's a bay leaf, one of the most common seasonings in dishes served across America. Really Peeps?

It's funny that a vegan is mad about a leaf in their food. I could imagine ONE person getting bent out of shape because of never seeing a bay leaf before, but this is a whole phenomenon. (PS - I try to take the bay leafs out before I serve food because people can choke on the petiole, which remains pretty sharp even after hours of being cooked.)

I can't even make lemonade but even I could see that it was a bay leaf!

Am I missing something? Those are BAY LEAVES. You use them in cooking, especially cuisines like Mexican. Granted, you are supposed to take bay leaves out of the pot before you serve the food, but they have a large kitchen there and some probably slipped through the cracks. They are certainly not leaves from trees outside!

I’m sad to be an American with idiots like these representing.

I don't get it. Why would you be outraged by a leaf? Even if you didn't know what leaf it was? I mean, we eat spinach, lettuce, rocket, chives, kale... These are all leaves as far as I know. And fresh leaves of many trees are not only edible but delicious. Even pine needles are OK. So what's the problem?

LOL! When I was little, we were waiting to see seated at a seafood restaurant. I was looking at the tank at the front and exclaimed, "Wow, look at those BIG BUGS!" A lady at the front jumped, expecting maybe a roach. She sees what I'm looking at, and then reprimanded me, "Those aren't bugs, they're lobsters!" My Dad: "Well, actually..."

Slovak-Hungarian call it “granny leaf”. Very often is used in dark soups, or goulash etc.

Maybe they should "leaf" the restaurant ...... I'm sorry.

lol it's similar how muricans say happy 2018th birthday to earth.

Lol I knew what it was from the first pic. They never cook for themselves, do they?

Here in Brazil we ever care about it, it's everywhere! Try it on salsa! You'll won't regret...

Another really sad thing is that I’ve been struggling lately to get plantains from our local supermarket. When I asked the store why, thy said they don’t stock them anymore, as too many people had complained and returned them as inedible bananas. Why not try and educate people instead?

Normal bay leaf. In ancient Rome it was sign of victory. Put it on your head and walk proud.

It's times like this I believe we should rename my country Ignoramica. Best is that one complete moron who thought it was an OAK leaf! Because that's the only kind of leaves there are, right?

disgusting fingernails and ignorant people.

I was so tripped out seeing how people were acting about this. It's a BAY LEAF! Bums me out to think that our newer generations eat out SO much that they can't identify spices.

Do people not know what bay leaves are????

Really, bay leaves are not mysterious or rare. Cook once in awhile!

I just laughed so hard. I am an Indian, and my 100% pure Indian mother uses bay leaf for any curry dish. Last tweet is awesome. XD

Conclusion: Chipotle is so bad to your health, it makes you forget how a freaking Bay leaf looks like...

I don't get it. Why are they scared of a bay leaf?

From a french point of view, bay leaves are used as spices, but they are not meant to be served in a plate, they give a good seasoning but are awful to eat. If i ever find one in my plate, i would feel as if no care was given to my dish.
