    Herbal use means what? Seasoning of food?

    Wait, now it all connects! Coining the term "grandma survival bias". Everybody is always so universally praising food "how grandma made it", yet I'm now realizing those with a different view simply didn't survive said meals.     Posted 6 years ago

      Lol, hilarious! It was used as an herb for heart ailments, I think. So, medicinal use. My grandparents and great-grandparents ate lots of questionable foods and plants ;P Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
