Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 We had these today and they were wonderful. The kids said they tasted like chic'n I dont think they did but they did taste good. I also made vegan brats, chipotle potato salad and baked beans. We didnt have room for the watermelon so we will be enjoying it later this afternoon. I am happy to have a use for all those dandelions that pop up all over my yard Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Cherie, I've tried the dandelion flowers mixed into a " stir " fry or something like my " mixed veggies in the steamer " thing, but I have not " fried " them yet. I, too would think it great to find a " food use " for all those yellow pop-ups in my yard, since I don't do the conventional thing (like my neighbors do) by spraying them all dead with weed-killer stuff. When you fried the dandelion blossoms, did you put them in a batter...fry them in some kind of oil or something like that? I don't do much of that kind of " frying " , but would probably try it out once or twice to see if I liked it. Do you do anything to the flowers before to prepare them for " battering " or whatever? Maybe you posted this earlier and I missed it; if so, would you mind re-posting again? I am curious about it all now! THANKS! Have a great week! --Laura B., in Illinois PS: What kind of vegan brats did you have? That sounds like a great " cook-out meal " to me!
