Eating Squash Blossoms?

[twall]

And I was told Euell Gibbons died in a fight with a beaver over a pine tree too! :laughing:

Burdock is a nasty weed that needs destroyed, not eaten! I'll stick to meat & tators, thank you! ~~ grnspot

Ummmmm, doesn't eating it 'destroy' it? :laughing:

It's just as dead on my plate.........:biggrin:

Just had leftover strip steak, a nuked spud slathered with butter and olives, and a glass of white zinfandel. Wife is working late tonight again so I am baching it with the cats.

LIFE IS GOOD. :smile:

Gardoni (commonly referred to as 'burdock') is EXCELLENT! You eat the stems from baby plants. You have to 'defuzz' them with a 3m-pad like sink scrubbie, but it's pretty easy. Boil them up like asparagus (that's what it tastes exactly like) and eat them with a little butter &vinegar, or dip them in your favorite batter, and deep fry them. The other common way is to slice 'em thin (like salad or stuffing celery), mix it with egg, a little flour, and some garlic &onion to your taste. Fry it like a pancake. Serve on a bun or toast. Gardoni sandwich! (an Italian favorite)

I think I just found what I can do with all the burdock in my yard. I never thought of eating it, what about the older plants? do they taste just as good?
