on 11/2/2009 Yes your article tells how to fix an unusual food from your garden. We like them and we also fry slices of cucumbers, onions and okra to enhance the blossoms with different tastes and color. I have used pancake batter when I'm in a hurry and had good results. Thanks for jogging my memories. Gail
