Rosemary? You mean spicy pine needles?
Are you insinuating that regular pine needles aren't spicy???
Regular pine needles are regular
Not by rosemary standards
...Have you eaten pine needles?
We've been friends for like four years, do you seriously have to ask if I've eaten pine needles or not
I mean I’m pretty sure you have but I don’t want to assume
Of course I've eaten pine needles. Various kinds. Singleleaf pinyon is weirdly the best
Are they...
You know, I'd love to tell you but I'm pretty unclear about what marks the difference between "spice" and "strong-tasting plant that isn't considered a spice"
I’ll have to eat some pine needles myself then to find out
Ok but it only counts if they're PINE needles and not just any old needle-like leaf off a tree
I’m going to eat every needle-like leaf I see
Please Don't Do That
Needle-Like Leaf Roulette
...I'll accept this plan as long as you promise not to eat any yew leaves.
I can try very hard not to
Pine needles are distinguished by the presence of a sheath-like structure at the base of the leaf, almost always holding bundles of two or more leaves. Yews don't have the sheath thing
It’s time for me to go out into the woods and stare at needle leaves
Finally you can gain real insight into my average daily life
this conversation reads like two shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief and then are never heard from again
Okay, but full stop, that’s some serious advice for people who want to start randomly eating needle leaves. Yews are goddamned trees of nightmares. Literally. Every part of the tree is poisonous. Don’t eat anything off of a yew tree.
