When i Have the munchies, I chew on celery as it is low on calories but soothes the craving for something to munch on.

Bay leaves, I put em in stews and the like but if i forget it doesn't seem any different.

I'm convinced of the 'the great Bay leaf conspiracy'. The influence of the bay leaf industrial complex cannot be under-estimated.

Have you had it? I swore off it for ethical reasons. Unless I'm in Vegas. All bets are off then, not that I seek it out but if it's on the menu with something else delicious I'm all over it.

yea a handful of times
but each time I was disappointed
the texture and and flavor usually aren't what I typically go for by themselves as an ingredient in a larger dish it seems like an overly expensive (and as you mentioned ethically tricky choice) to add some smooth unctuos flavor to a dish

It was probably some girl you had dated before that you'd mentioned to the old Vietnamese lady.........

That's not even that big of a stretch, why do you think I ate it? That lady scared the fuck out of me
