While I am certainly not an expert and have no proof to back up my ideas, I think that the reason nasturtium got its name is because of its peppery qualities. Pepper makes people sneeze, and one's nose certainly gets twisted sneezing... I think that this is a very sound theory (only because it is the only theory presented, thus far!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-83777397646970400742008-03-06T10:40:00.000-05:002008-03-06T10:40:00.000-05:00I'm a little behind in reading the earlier recipes...I'm a little behind in reading the earlier recipes but I still want to comment on the Nasturtium thing. I love the idea of using the flowers. I have never eaten them but I grew up eating the leaves from my mom's flower garden. I still love them. They are really peppery and would probably be a good addition to the other greens in a salad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-66451832067397772562007-06-14T16:58:00.000-04:002007-06-14T16:58:00.000-04:00Thanks, to all.

It's a flower petal in the garden, once it gets to the kitchen it's just part of a salad. Did that help?Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-72354759608191036472007-06-14T16:34:00.000-04:002007-06-14T16:34:00.000-04:00That salad really looks beautiful Chef JohnThat salad really looks beautiful Chef JohnJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614309577904580614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-80607936866161653742007-06-14T01:41:00.000-04:002007-06-14T01:41:00.000-04:00Birder, to get over your fear of eating flowers yo...Birder, to get over your fear of eating flowers you may want to considered hypnosis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-91440608785112267832007-06-13T23:59:00.000-04:002007-06-13T23:59:00.000-04:00Yeah I've been having probs with YouTube as well, ...Yeah I've been having probs with YouTube as well, but it only seems like it was .AVI files that weren't working for me... and flowers are great, it's been quite a while since I've had some nice edible flowers but they do add to any salad.. and before I even started reading I thought of watercress, as you mention later the flavor is similar... just add a little extra virgin olive oil, a dash or three of balsamic vinegar, and some nice bleu cheese crumbles and I'd be happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-12737567548030009972007-06-13T18:53:00.000-04:002007-06-13T18:53:00.000-04:00First off, John, I must say kudos and EXCELLENT wo...First off, John, I must say kudos and EXCELLENT work on this whole site of yours. I've been enjoying it for a while now and haven't until now expressed my appreciation of it.<BR/><BR/>Second thing is with regards to this whole flower-eating thing. I'm trying to wrap my head around this concept: it seems unappetizing and just all too weird to me! And this surprises me, because I'm not normally the kind of person to be this way. (I'm adventurous and will usually eat anything shoved under my nose or at least try it once before dismissing).<BR/><BR/>Just wondering if this is normal, if anyone else feels this way, and if so, what's the best way to change this mindset? <BR/><BR/>Anywho, great work once again Chef John. I can't wait for that vinaigrette recipe you were talking about!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-21080115927706972112007-06-13T15:46:00.000-04:002007-06-13T15:46:00.000-04:00you're simply brilliant, Chef!you're simply brilliant, Chef!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-1937329858357498032007-06-12T23:54:00.000-04:002007-06-12T23:54:00.000-04:00Wow is there anything you can't do?!Wow is there anything you can't do?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-36467852730771033832007-06-12T20:55:00.000-04:002007-06-12T20:55:00.000-04:00Nice video - worth the wait, and little bugs - you...Nice video - worth the wait, and little bugs - you are so funny.EcoEchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410901829994418191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-27416480492486942042007-06-12T18:27:00.000-04:002007-06-12T18:27:00.000-04:00Still waiting on YT!
