"Many people will recognize the long, green aromatic leaves as bay, a popular spice in a range of cuisines."

I've always thought bay was a herb, not a spice. Am I wrong?

google search says "An herb is the green, leafy part of the plant. Examples are basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, and oregano. A spice can come from the root, stem, seed, fruit, flower or bark of the tree or plant"

I think you might be right, because from what I understand, herbs are leaves and spices are different parts.
