I was reading a book on Roses and I stumbled across a line about, perhaps at one time, rose petal sandwiches were a delicacy in England. I am guessing rose petals are high in Vitamin C, and I'll occasionally pluck out a rose petal and eat it. But in a sandwich? No elaboration about whether or not you eat the sandwich with butter or mayo.
I remember at about 8 years old my sister and I used to try to make perfume by stealing the neighbor's roses and grinding up the petal to add to water. It never worked, smelled like rotten plants.
I know of rose petals jam. That's one of the "pączki" filling in Poland. But I never ate them raw, although there are many edible flowers.
I do love many edible flowers, one of my favorite goat cheeses, includes edible flowers, they put them on the top, as decoration,so it looks so pretty too. I also love lavender. If any of our transplanted roses bloom this year, I shall have a nibble
People do eat flowers. We used to eat zucchini flowers dipped in a batter and fried.
