When I have a recipe calling for "Bay leaves" I use an old fashion Tea Ball . In this tea Ball I can also put pepper corns celery leaves or any other spice or herb called for that needs to be removed before serving. Jean

I haven't tried it but it sounds like it would work.

It seems to me that I remember having a ground bay leaf spice at one time but perhaps I'm mistaken about this. I break my bay leaf up as fine as I can and add it to whatever I am using it in; this works for me and I don't know how a blind cook could fish it out otherwise.

However, I have some Old Bay Seasoning which is used for fish. Am I right to think I couldn't substitute the seasoning for a bay leaf?
