Many people in North America believe that bay leaves don't add any flavor to dishes because the majority of bay leaves available for sale are of low quality. According to spice store owners in Montreal, consumers have been groomed to accept mediocrity and are only exposed to bottom-of-the-barrel bay leaves.
