44 0 ReplyEnglish is a very confusing language to have this conversation in.
Also using "hot" as a measure of how spicy it is and also using it to talk about the actual temperature of the food.
16 0 ReplyTrue, as a native English speaker, English sucks lol. There are a bunch of similar words but their meaning is different and they’re only to be used in certain contexts.

11 0 ReplyCloves can do a thing if used right. Bay leaves, on the other hand, you cannot convince me add anything to anything.
3 0 ReplyBay leaves contain several different fatty acids which, when cooked, are transferred into your food. Fatty acids have a large effect on the flavour and nutrition of food. Next time to cook plain rice, add a few bay leaves to the pot and you will notice the change in flavour.
