List of flowers that are edible, supposedly, although a few of the
notes indicate that those flowers are not supposed to be eaten in
quantity.

Those have gone into the recipe file, thank you! Though the second one gave
me a frisson d'horreur in advocating the use of peanut oil instead of olive
oil!

Hey, don't be hidebound! Different oils are good fun. I prefer not use
olive all the time, as it's such a dominant flavour.

Yes, I agree. My great-aunt, from the Perigord, who made her own pate
de foie gras truffe, would use olive oil when she wanted the flavour,
peanut oil when she didn't - which was most of the time. Afaik that's
standard French practice.

I like to use safflower oil for a very bland one.
