Generally they are used as a garnish. Have someone over for dessert and sprinkle them on top of ice cream or a flourless chocolate cake. You can also make cookies, dip the top or one half in melted chocolate, and press a candied rose petal into the wet chocolate, so it sticks when the chocolate dries. Elegant.

we candied rosepetals and violets for our mothers for mothers day in kindergarten. I think we just sat them on a plate with the mints.

I'm not much of a gourmet chef, but perhaps you could use them as ingredients for Turkish delight.

In the end, I made a sorbet of sorts with them. It's not terribly great, but it could be worse.

Eaquae, I didn't mention this before, and I should have.

This is a really really really cool thing you do. I used to do that, too, back in Canada, and it was a lot of fun. I love hearing other people doing the same thing. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Ooooh, look, persimmons! (How the heck do you eat a persimmon?) Egg roll skins! (How do you make egg rolls, anyway?) Kofta! Gota! (Pretty pictures... what are they?)
And it just goes on. It's especially bad where I am now (downtown TO), with all the ethnic shops around. Eventually most things get eaten one way or another.

Yeah, I hear ya! I've bought some pretty strange fruits & vegetables and had no idea if the fruit was ripe or what to do with any of it. At least now we have the internet so we can look things up afterwards. Back in the late 1980s... My roommates all thought I was nuts. Well, not that they were wrong...

You buy food like I buy music. Hmmm, never heard of this band...cover looks neat. Ok, I buy. It usually turns out really well for me.

I say eat some. You don't know what you can do with them until you know how they taste? I think maybe they'd be good with heavily greasy fried foods. But then, I am very strange ...
(quid, I think you took my advice on smileys a bit too serious! No one's doubting your seniority in this thread )

Am I losing my mind? I mean, more than usual? Where did you give me advice on smiley usage?
And no, I'm not mocking you. My head is wobbling around unattached in my brain and bits are falling out...
