I agree with James Potts. I’m a HUGE fan of bay leaves, but I too have tested them. Sometimes more isn’t better, and too many bay leaves can throw off the dish. I draw my line at two. I do notice the fresher the better, but don’t notice a huge difference between fresh versus dried as long as they are still fresh. I like toasting them a bit in oil to release the oils. - MJ

@rulitossimplyrulitos1088 8 ай бұрын

Something I seemed to noticed is that the normals use fresh bay leaves, whereas Budgie (and me) use dried. Would that be a main difference? Never have the chance to use fresh leaves, but I use regularly the dried to add that little something to the pasta while is boiling, or to the beans, also while they are boiling.

@ChaosMind10531 8 ай бұрын

IMO its the aroma.... I tried eating adobo without using the leaves... For some reason it falls flat... Its good but it doesn't have that ending note of fragrance... It could just be me but yeah... Only use 2 at max or you are just tasting the bay leaves...

if you eat Filipino food, you will never grow old. because you will die young due to the high cholesterol and saturated fats content of some dishes. but the healthiness of our food depends on the region, Ilocano foods consists mainly of fresh vegetables and less meat. visayans have their own healthy foods too. the Tagalogs are the ones who use much of the oil in their cooking to make the dishes flavorful though they can substitute canola oil to make it healthier. all in all, Filipino food must be eaten in moderation. :)

My daughter in law is Filipino and she has shared her cuisine with us and it's wonderful! The best soy sauce I've ever had is the Filipino brand Silver Swan. You must try Sinigang ( I had never thought to cook radishes) it's amazing! I took some to our big family Christmas dinner (soups and sandwiches theme last year) and it was a big hit even if one of my cousins thought that the name was Singapore soup.😂😂 I can't wait to try more Filipino food when I visit next month. Also, ask Budgie about a Boodle fight 😉

This is proper Filipino food!!! While we love adobo, it's more of an everyday dish, so it's not very exciting (at least for me). I feel like Inasal is the kind of food every Filipino gets super excited to eat because it's a more of a special day kinda food. And the halo-halo is legit af.

Bay leaf doesn’t do anything? For years I used my chicken carcasses to make (or try to) chicken soup. But it was always missing that certain something. When my sister suggested I try bay lead my soup was suddenly transformed. It elevated the other seasonings and made for the best soup I’d ever had - and just like my mother’s, and she always used bay leaf.

@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808 7 ай бұрын

I've always used bay leaf because I find it adds some earthiness to the dish like that smell or taste that balances out a dish.

I agree with the Bay Leaf thing. You can tell when you don’t use it in a dish that you usually do. Just tastes like the dish is missing something 🤪

We use onoto (annatto) here on Venezuela to color food, it was weird to see it presented as something exotic. That chicken looked delicious, I bet the studio smelled great. I always say the same about bay leaves, they don't seem to do anything but if you leave them out something is missing.

@joshX200 8 ай бұрын

You all should totally do a bay leaf taste test. Make a few dishes with and without bay leaves (two of the same dish each time) and see if you can taste the difference. Then lastly you should just steep some bay leaves in hot water and taste that to see what they actually taste like! Also I would love to watch that and know myself. >.

This episode has been really delightful, I wish there'd be more in the future!

Guys you're a cooking channel! If you can't taste the bay leaves, do a test. Cook some plain white rice in 2 pots - one with bay leaf, one without.

Oh but white rice plays better with pandan leaves than bay leaves… if they’re gonna test the taste of bay leaf, I would go for a simple stew with and without bay leaves

@oanaalexia 8 ай бұрын

Just take back the leaf after boiling it and after it gets a bit colder, taste it, it's mostly bitter, and peppery, it gives food a subtle bitter dimension, an undertone to a salty dish.

@movingforwardLDTH Macapuno coconut strips packed in syrup. They have a more jelly-like texture. In the ice cream, the texture was particularly thick fudge or caramel ripple that yeilded into being fleshy soft coconut.
