I've never had squash blooms. What did you stuff them with besides mascarpone?

 

[strollingbones]

that was all.....that is all you need a cream cheese or such

sounds like a man after my own appetite...even foods I do not like I learn to eat...took me over 50 years to learn to like peas but I eat them by the canful now...only liver and a handful of other things are left to get over...It just sounds to me like there may be a pre-cooking step [or something along those lines] missing from your preparation that resulted in the blooms being bitter.

I ate a chive blossom once. It seems to me a generally good rule of thumb not to eat flowers.

when done correctly dandelion is delicious, but yeah, overall, eating flowers has not been very enriching to/for the palate [sp]

Dandelion is SO bitter. I remember as a kid we would pull them in our neighbor's front yard and he would pay us a penny a dozen. You don't want to stick your finger in your mouth for any reason after that.

Did you fry them in bacon grease? Bacon grease will make anything taste good...
