can't boil herbs?

[burianek]

I feel like this must be something really silly.
I got myself poisoned by forgetting to boil a bearclaw before adding it to some stew (I guess I figured the stew would boil it)
I wanted to boil some meadsweet I had lying around to see if it would help, but I cannot get it to work.
alt-c | b to open the dialogue, have fire, gets to raw ingredients and it's on the food menu.  I hit * to list everything, and select the meadsweets in my inventory and I get the message 'meadsweet does not work as a raw ingredient!'

I simply cannot get this to work.  V 3.71 stable.

Thanks for any help.  Love the game so far.  It's so addictive

 I think there are 3 possibilities in 'Meadsweet'
Leaves - can be boiled / used as ingredient
Flowers - can be boiled / used as ingredient
Meadsweet - can't be boiled / used as ingredient. The whole plant itself, can be planted I think.

Sorry if I'm wrong

I knew it was something silly.  Thank you!
I had no idea I was supposed to thresh it in the agriculture menu.  Tried (a)pplying my knife to it about 10 different ways.
Thanks again!

You can plant the plant? I've been wondering if there was a way to cultivate some of the things that don't have seeds!
