I've been munching them for a month now.
ahh, i've seen that done to make rosehip tea.. Was also shown that if you wait until the hips start to 'wither' for want of a better word and soften, you can pull them off the stalk, then squeeze them carefully and get a thick kind of syrup oozing out through the hole where the stalk was that can be eaten.. don't squeeze too hard, or you'll get the seeds as wellsadly no you have to take the stalks and that off then scoop out the seeds ( its a slow and fiddley process )
what about the irritating hairs / seeds ?Those big fat ones I just peel using a really sharp wee knife and munch the flesh like apple peel. It's pretty thick nearest the stem end.

oh dear...just spent about 2 hrs sorting loads to make some jam left it to simmer and my 3 yr old turned up the heat on the oven and it burnet the lot ( he said it smelt nice so he wanted it done quicker )
what about the irritating hairs / seeds ?
Ahhh, so it's the bits you peel off you eat... gotchaThe peel is so thick you never get near the hairy seedy bits. Just sweet tasty flesh. With the little one I just nibble round them like a sweetcorn.
cheers,
