Someone's into brewing and cooking with the SCA, it would seem, but not much into the medicinal aspect. :) (Not you, the person who created the meme.) If I did this thing and added the medicinals I have lying around, it'd go on for another half a page.

Yeah, the medicinals I have aren't listed either. I have most of them packed away in a box waiting for shelf space... I think I may have the orange peel in with those, and maybe some lemon grass.
