    welcome to the south - take any green vegetable that should potentially be good for you, then batter and deep fry it - that's a veggy:D

    We had neighbors as a child that promoted the dandelions in their yard and regularly consumed them but never heard of frying blossoms going to try it out

    I wonder how a handful of those blossoms would taste mixed with fresh morels? Still have a couple bowls of them in the fridge (small greys,some smaller pieces/torn stems of yellows in 1 bowl,the ''perfect'' larger yellow halves in another)

    The ''scraps'' I'll chop up,sautee with olive oil/butter & garlic/onion/herbs & add a few at a time to risotto,brown rice or pasta over the next few days,the 'good ones' will get the usual light flour/egg batter,fry until crisp in a cast iron skillet.

    Havent found enough this year so far to use the dehydrator,but the season isn't quite over yet & the weather has been almost perfect.A few quick showers overnight or early morning/afternoon,temps in the 70's followed by sunshine. ;) :yes:
