Why am I not allowed to eat bay leaves?

Answer 1

Dried bay leaves don't get soft with cooking. It's not that they are toxic.

When you're eating a dish with bay leaves, you'll end up with annoying piece of something that it difficult to chew and is annoying, but if it's too large the leaves are actually kind of sharp.

Answer 2

Well, for future reference, it's the white stuff that the seeds cling to that has most of the heat, not the seeds, so remove that white membrane to reduce heat in future batches. For now, consider splitting the sauce in half and adding more tomato paste and water and/or more tomatoes. You can also add some brown sugar. It cuts the acidity in the tomatoes and makes it a little easier to bear the heat, also. Add more of the other veggies and spices, if necessary, to get back to the original flavor. Freeze the other half for another recipe. Happy cooking! Polly p.s. A raw potato will fix a too-SALTY dish, but not a hot one!
