To drink the Baileys even though I dropped a rose in it?

[christmaspigeon]

Poured myself a glass of Baileys as a treat for after I'd finished arranging some flowers only to drop a rose in it! . I fished it out but the thought of drinking it makes me feel a bit . Am I being daft? Should I just neck it down?

Er yes. It's Bailey's, don't waste it.

Unless you mean steaming dog turd rather than you know, a flower, then of course you should drink it

Drink up!

Are you normally quite anxious? Because it sounds like a bit of an overreaction.

Pretty sure roses are edible anyway. I make a great Nigella chocolate cake with rose petals on top.

Roses are lovely, drink it all up xxx

Thanks everyone. I just get a bit squeamish with food. Down the hatch it goes!

That's a case of stultitia ridiculum rather than rosa veneficium!

They absolutely are btw

Was it a Cadbury’s Roses?

I think you can probably eat more roses with no ill effects than you can drink glasses of Bailey's

You’ll be grand

We used to paint toss petals with egg white and sprinkle sugar on and eat them when we were children.

Actually drinking Baileys in my defence.

Roses are completely edible! And the petals are actually quite tasty.

A rose? A rose dipped in Baileys? When I were lad we’d be fighting half the street off for a nibble of the piss soaked nettles growing under neighbour’s hedge.

You had piss soaked nettles? We had moss. Rat pooped on moss. And not the nice fluffy kind. Pff. Nettles. Posh lad

@CarlGrimesRightEyeball 😂😂

This thread is responsible for me drinking Baileys and I really need to stop drinking Baileys because a) it is making me fat (ter) and b) my liver is pickled tae fuck.

Am i seriously the only one on MN (except teetotals) who doesn't have Bailey's at home?😂😂😂

Rose petals are edible.

Sounds like a posh garnish.

Roses are edible. Any bugs on the rose (very unlikely if shop bought) will float and be able to be picked out.

I wouldn't give this a second thought! Totally drink the lovely alcoholic cream.

@SchrodingersImmigrant I don't have Baileys! I do however, have gin.

The title of this thread sounds like the start of a lovely haiku.
