PARSLEY.
Ancient Romans used the herb as a garnish, similar to the way we see it displayed on the dishes of today's restaurants. It was also used to make the garlands worn during feasts and believed to have the power to ward off intoxication and evil. Regardless, the Romans didn't consume the herb either, and even went so far as forbidding its presence around pregnant women. Somewhere along the way, the Romans had aligned the presence of parsley and pregnancy with an infant's being born epileptic.

They garnished their food with it but didn't eat it???? I guess that means they didn't cook with it.
