I crumble dried rosemary in my fingers, Between crumbling, heat
and cooking moisture, that seems
to deal with any issues. I don't
notice any unpleasant texture,

I had dinner last week at a Portland
(OR) restaurant. The side dish was a rosemary (I assume fresh) flavored
potato dish. Very heavy hand with the rosemary - enough to be
unpleasant. Otherwise a nice meal.
