A few years ago it was very trendy to eat "edible flowers". While this isn't particularly unusual, really, I didn't understand the appeal. There are so many things to eat I've never had a desire to sprinkle some flowers on my greens. Some say they are aesthetically pleasing. I prefer mine in a vase, on the table, not on my plate. :)

What kind of flowers were they? Here in Indian people do eat some kind of rose petals. But there are specific kind of breed of rose which is edible not any.:)

I'm not sure about all the flowers. I know some were violets. Of course people have been using candies/sugared violets to decorate cakes and things for years. I remember salads with flowers sprinkled on top were all the rage for a while. Oh! Now I remember -- nasturtiums were another one.

Interestingly, you mention specific breeds of edible roses. I've always wondered how it is people know exactly which items are edible. I say this because there is a man (elderly man) in my neighbourhood who goes around every fall with a very long pole. He uses the pole to reach up into trees and remove the largest mushroom caps I have ever seen. They are the size of a dinner plate, I kid you not. Everyone watching him is perplexed but he must know what he's doing. He's still alive and well. LOL

Do people really eat fried pickles? I'm not familiar with this. I love pickles and am wondering now, what theyd taste like breaded or battered and fried. Is this how it's done?
