Potatoes and Bay Leaves
 
Seeing threads on both reminded me of a way of roasting potatoes. Cut a
slot in 2" - 2.5" potatoes and insert a bay leaf by gently squeezing the
tater to open it slightly. Toss with olive oil and sprinkle with a
little Maldon salt and then roast them.
Obiously, you and your guests don't eat the leaf.

Would Maldon salt be the same OZ sea salt Peter sent me? I have a
little left.

Maldon is French, artificially dried seawater - expensive due to PR
advertising.

What you have is this.

Australia
Murray River. Mine salt, solar evaporated. Big, pink pyramid crystals.
Made from underground brine from Murray Darling Basin. Light texture,
sharp and lasting taste.

If you want to replace it and can live without the pink color, try the
Cypriot salt that Trader Joe's sells. It's also solar evaporated.

Cyprus
Pyramid flakes. Seawater, sun-dried. Crunchy but dissolve very fast;
delicate structure.

Maldon salt, eh? I missed that. I wonder if it has any spiritual
qualities?

A lot of it is, but not all. It would really depend what you're using
the salt with. With something like poached eggs, you should be able to
taste any real difference.

Maldon is ENGLISH, from Maldon in Essex, N.E. of London.

I don't know. Maldon consists of large flakes of NaCl. You could
therefore use any for the flavour, but not the look.

I know I can definitely taste the Himalayan pink salt flakes on my
poached eggs, different to plain salt. In a stew - no chance, so may
as well use ordinary salt for that.

Marketing is the word that escaped me. Thanks.

Pyramid salt is a finishing salt and used for decorative purposes.
Use it in any recipe that calls for flaked salt or Maldon.

LOL!

I looked up bay leaves recently due to all the discussions. I'm like
sf...I've never noticed a difference if I used them or not. I did read
though that you can powder them but to be careful...if you add too
much, you will get a strong taste of eucalyptus or "Vicks Vapor Rub."

If that's true, it explains why recipes use whole leaves to just get a
hint of the flavor. If that's true I also wonder WHY people use this
heinous leaf in various dishes. Mild or not, I don't want the flavor
of Vicks Vapor Rub in my food.

Many == most all? -- versions of commercial pickling spice contain
crumbled bay leaf. I wonder how many pickle eaters have died over the
centuries? And why hasn't out government done something about this
dangerous inclusion? There oughta be a law! Get my Congressman on

I am sure they contain chemicals that, in ridiculously high quantities, will
cause cancer in cancer prone rat species.

And no doubt they somehow contribute to global warming/climate
change/mankind is evil in whatever it does.

I guess that you don't appreciate the value of testing toxicity in
ingredients and medications as some of us do. Look at the case of
Thalidomide. It was used in the 1950s and 60s for a variety of problems,
one of them being morning sickness. It was determined to be the cause
of thousands of babies being born will malformed or missing limbs. The
US FDA refused to allow it. While there were more than 10,000
Thalidomide babies born in the world, there were less than 2 dozen of
them in the US.

Note that it was a Canadian Dr working at the FDA who wouldn't allow it.

Taste wise, it is t he ot her mineral s included that can make a

are different. More crunch and a burst of salty flavor. At the
ridiculous price of some salts I'm not inclined to try them unless I
could get a small sample first.
