I read the following in a magazine article. The article was about
roses, not food, but I was baffled by the quote, which was:
"In Damascus and Persia, people used to bury jars
of unopened rosebuds in the garden, and dig them
up on special occasions to use in cooking -- the
flowers would open dramatically on the plates."
???!?!?!?
I am passionately interested due to my recently begun Master's thesis:
"Rosa Mundi -- The Metaphor of the Rose in Medieval
Spirituality, Music and Cookery"
