Huh, as a Dane I've never really thought about what Estragon was called in other languages, I just assumed it was the same in most European countries at least. Apparently it comes from the latin "Artemisia dracunculus" And in Danish it's also sometimes called "Esdragon" or nicknamed "drageurt" (dragon herb), although I've never heard of the last two examples growing up.
But yeah, "Dragon" in Swedish now makes a lot sense considering the latin name.
Regular milk has a fuckton of animal estrogen. It's concentrated hormone juice. Not enough to cause any physiological changes in the presence of testosterone, though.

Sounds an anti-estrogen for transmasc. Like "estrogen be gone"

Yeah, that is more logical. Estrogen was first thing that come to my mind when I saw this in the store.

Yes, tarragon = Estragon in German.

And also in Norwegian. But it's altogether more mythical in Swedish

No, silly, that's not estrogen but Estragon, a character from Samuel Beckett's classic modernist play Waiting for Godot.

Yes, it's called "milk".

I saw the tomato paste just near the Estragon and thought this was an Italian supermarket for a second
