    Lol these are always funny. Look up people complaining about a “leaf” in their food when the recipe uses Bay Leaf. It’s like complaining someone put leaves in your tea.

      Leaves obviously don’t belong into tea. Everyone knows tea grows when you hang those little paper bags on a tree. And depending on the kind of tree, you get a different type of tea.

      If it’s not edible it shouldn’t be in the plate. Bay leaf, cinnamon sticks. Etc shouldn’t end up in the plate. They’re used just for flavor.

        What a weird hill to die on!

        So I assume you eat the bones of chicken wings, legs, thighs, etc? You eat the stems of apples and other such fruit? And you eat the cores or pits?

        Or were you one of those children brought up by parents who cut off the crusts of the Wonder Bread sandwiches to make sure you never encountered any iota of challenge or even the most trivial work while eating?

      I fucking hate bay leaf, if you don’t have a plan for getting it all out at the end don’t put it in the food because it’s gross.

        Big pot of something and hope you find all the bay leaves. You might pull some out, think you’ve got them all but they like to hide.

    We were at a very authentic Chinese restaurant and and a family showed up and asked waiter for recommendations they said the roast duck is very good which is very true. The roast duck shows up to their table and the guy takes a bite and bites straight into bone and he starts loudly complaining how there’s bones in it and why isn’t there meat and that chicken has a lot more meat and why doesn’t the duck have more meat and that this is a rip off and then it’s all bones and he’s mad that they sold him this. The restaurant ended up taking back the dish and giving them a refund simply because of the customers ignorance it was so cringe.

      This is exactly why some Chinese restaurants have a special Chinese menu that you need to ask for.
