Having had a recent near choking episode when I stupidly left bay leaf
in my pasta sauce,Ive wondered if this has happened to anyone else.It
happened to my friend up in Jersey and was quite serious/Ive noticed
some TV chefs leave it in and others remove them. Smitty in St.Pete
Chew. Didn't your Mom tell you not to gulp your food down?

<Yes she sure did,,,Ive always taken it out just to be safe,but messed
up,,it doesnt always soften up -can be quite painfull
