Hello! Does anyone know if peony flowers & buds are edible?
There is a recipe for pyony (sp?) in Curye on Inglyssh.
There is also a mention in Piers the Plowman to "piones" (which Hieatt and
Butler identify as peonies, but I thought referred to pine nuts):
"Hastow au3te in thi purs any hote spices?"
"I haue peper and piones", quod she "and a pounde of garlike,
A ferthyngworth of fenel-seed for fastyngdayes."
Thanks!
