S...Yeah it looks like you went to a lot of effort! <br />Squash flowers have very delicate flavour, I think their appeal is more the seasonality of it as well as their beautiful appearance. I made some this afternoon and it was super easy. . .<br /><br />Made a filling of crumbled feta cheese with basil, parsley, chopped sundried tomatoes and 1 raw grated courgette. I stuffed and baked them for 20 minutes and served with a salad of mixed leaves and tomatoes.<br />Baking them instead of frying saves a lot of effort, and if the filling is strong in flavour it makes up for the milder taste of the flowers. <br />Happy cooking! I like reading your blog :)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-39230578113206865032011-08-06T05:38:14.016-07:002011-08-06T05:38:14.016-07:00Thanks for the term "potchky," which I h...Thanks for the term "potchky," which I had never heard before.

So reading your post helps me not to be too disappointed over not having tried them out. <br /><br />The main reason why I never tried the flowers was that I was hoping for some more pumpkins but I just didn't seem to get enough female flowers. The deer munching on my plants didn't help the situation either... :)simonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666859949065117637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-66245757575063499032011-08-01T09:00:01.624-07:002011-08-01T09:00:01.624-07:00I have had squash flowers and they put this cream ...I have had squash flowers and they put this cream cheese filling and they were a very unique taste :) the scallops look yummy.Erika Lee @ A Tiny Rockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816629751516005385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-82424658532351645302011-08-01T08:46:37.866-07:002011-08-01T08:46:37.866-07:00Looks yummy to me!
