Wow! I've had rosehip tea before, and I'm pretty sure that I've had rosehip jelly, but I've never just straight-up eaten a rosehip before. Awesome! We should add that to the list of foods for a TOUAMB get-together, if we ever have one.

I choose to believe that you're all making this entire concept up as you go along. Like when Wombat accuses us of making up bands with silly names.

The petals of the rose come out of one side (the top of the heart) and the stem from the other.  Technically, they are the ripe ovary of the flower.

Make sure you never ever tell this to Phillipe.

Aren't... large doses of rose hips an old-school method of inducing miscarriage?

Or am I mixing up my herbology?

Considering rose hips are frequent addition to pregnancy teas (or so google says, I was unaware of the existence of pregnancy teas), I would think otherwise.

No no, like... massive amounts of rose hips.

Upon further remembering, I believe the idea was that massive concentrations of unbuffered Vitamin C will induce miscarriage... despite the fact that reasonable concentrations of Vitamin C are healthy and good for a gestating ball of implanted cells.

In early times when you couldn't isolate and concentrate particular kinds of nutrition, rose hips were the only concentrated Vitamin C source strong enough to induce. Like you couldn't eat enough citrus or whatever in a day to get there... but rose hips, it's strong enough.

ALSO: I'm assuming that ST is speaking of Rose from "The Golden Girls".

Mainly because there are a lot of sick fucks around here.
