Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I use pink or white rose petals, they have the best flavor. Cucumber, Radish and Rose Petal Sandwiches 2 medium sized cucumbers 4 radishes 8 thin sliced brown bread Pink or White rose retals mayonnaise or Vegenaise Mrs Dash Peel, half, seed and finely chop the cucumbers and chop radishes. Place in a bowl add enough mayonnaise to make it spreadable. Butter the slices of bread, and for each sandwich spread on enough cucumber mixture to cover lightly. Lay rose petals on top of mixture, top with another piece of bread. Trim the crust if you desire, vut sandwiches and serve. Makes 4 sandwiches.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Where do you get your rose petals? Do you happen to know what variety they are? I've toyed with growing a small rose bush for culinary purposes here but I haven't been able to figure out what kind to grow. It's not the usual question about roses at the local nursery, I think. -ginger just north of Boston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ginger: I am not sure whether they have roses specifically, but our local SuperTarget carries edible flowers in their produce department.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ah, thanks! I got the idea somewhere that a more fragrant rose might have more flavor, but I never heard the dark vs. light thing before. My exposure to rose as an edible came from Renaissance cookery. I know not to eat roses from the grocery store, or probably from the flower shop, at least not without talking to somebody knowledgeable about their source. For me to grow one for culinary purposes, I'll want to container-grow it as much of my soil is a little suspect. -ginger on a rainy Boston area evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
