00:00It's happened to all of us before you're minding your business making dinner and then all of a sudden the recipe tells you to add
00:05one lonely bay leaf
00:07What's up with that? I'm gonna put it to the test with some plain old canned tomato soup
00:11I'm gonna add different amounts of bay leaf to three different samples
00:14I'm gonna have my co-workers try them to see if they can actually tell the difference
00:19Oh, there's definitely something happening isn't there
00:24Oh
00:26Oh god, i'm interested they're a little bit looser. I don't know why i'm tasting banana
00:36Okay, that's nice I get some daily but like it's like a nice
00:40So hit I like be better
00:43It's definitely not as present, which I don't know that I mind
00:47This is a little bit more I think
00:51A is five dailies
00:54So, yeah
00:55Time to taste my own medicine
00:58The one with the most and it kind of tastes like tea like it doesn't even taste like tomato soup anymore
01:03And I feel like it's because bay leaf is supposed to play second fiddle to the rest of your herbs
01:07It's not supposed to be the main herb, but I feel like this does prove that while one bay leaf is nice a couple more
01:13Is not necessarily a bad thing either
