edible flowers

this is a randomly occurring thought to me
but on the night of New Years Eve (2007)
i threw a party, wherein i cooked a .r.i.d.i.c.u.l.o.u.s.
amount of food-

one of my offerings were edible flowers
(naturally i didn't cook these, i purchased a pack from wild oats)

they looked a little like this:



i was the most difficult thing trying to coerce my friends into tasting them

i found them a bit chewy
and tasting heavily of flowers

...

have you ever tried edible flowers?
i really, really want to know
