I’ve tasted the white flowers of these pea plants. They taste like the peas too, perhaps a bit on the sweet side in fact. They’re quite pretty as well.

As soon as I read your comment, Footloose (wittily and elegantly written, as usual!) , I googled sweet pea flowers and saw that the flowers were multi-colored. Is it possible that these colored flowers are the ones that can be toxic (my bum hasn’t wasted away)?

Footloose, I always look forward to your comment as much as I look forward to every post.:) Am I the only one who thinks Footloose is Apicio?

footloose, you come up with the most outrageous “facts”…but, seriously, could scientists tweak it a little bit so the effect is on the fat around the gut, and on other areas of choice? heheheh

Have always wondered whether sweet pea planted for their flowers is edible. Lot’s of gardeners I know say they are poisonous outright but others say not really. As my reading on the subject turned out, they do contain toxins that take effect only if you make a steady diet out of them for extended periods such as during famines. It’s peculiar symptom is fundamental, it causes the muscles of the bum to waste away and I say that would be a terrible thing to waste.

What Grace said…

Been popular here at Chinese restaurants for years… they even serve it at dimsum.

I bet you’d like it too.

Sauteed pea sprout with lots of garlic is a popular menu at Chinatown restaurants in Los Angeles. This is my favorite vegetable dish at Mayflower Restaurant in Chinatown LA.
