california bay


a huge bay tree, also called pepperwood trees here.



the fruit of the bay tree, looks like a baby avocado, it even has a flavor reminiscent of unripe avocado and a strong essential oil flavor. Not too bad if you were starving. Most of the bay leaves we use in cooking are imported from Eastern Europe, but there are bay trees everywhere here, begging to be thrown in your soup.
