| Except for tea, I have never eaten the flower. What I do like, is the chrysanthemum stems. They are called Tonghao (茼蒿) and are a delicious kind of green vegetable. |

| Hey whats up, Chrysanthemum tea is pretty good ice chilled on a summer day. The Chrysanthemum stems are delicious in hot pot which makes that crazy delicious broth but I would prefer the large leaf Chrysanthemum instead of the small leaf when used in non soup dishes. Just a tip, if you hate that underlying bitterness, try the large leaf, its a lot lighter in flavor. Danny What about chive flower?? (Gwo Choi Fa) |

| Danny, I am afraid that you mistook Tonghao (茼蒿） from chrysanthemum. I check it on the internet and found that the stem of the chrysanthemum could be eaten but it is different from 茼蒿 though they belong to the same category。 In English, Tonghao is called garland chrysanthemum. Its flower looks very like chrysanthemum. |

| Oh ok so they are different. My apologies, I thought we were talking about Tonghao. Danny |

| Well ................., In Chongqing we have a rather decadently docorated restaurant which serves all kinds of weird and wonderful flowers and herbs as their signature dishes. All the hostesses dress in long pink flowing gowns and the guests may even watch the chefs in the kitchen as they prepare food with much gusto in their fancy, macho outfits It was here that I had the pleasure of eating 'tempura chrysanthemum'. Hao chi I also enjoy the tea as well. |
