While most people wont even consider flowers in food, me on the other hand find the consumption logically essential. If dietitians call for eating every colour of fruit and veggie possible then what would consuming a flower with all those phytochemicals do? I find it humorous to think there is a whole class of food/ nutrients not even being consumed all because the idea of eating a flower seems "silly", when what really is silly is not eating them at all.
I tell ya, there is not a dish that doesnt look better for having them in it, even burgers, it just seems to make everything look like high class cuisine if you ask me. If you really want to impress your friends, when bringing a cake for birthdays/gifts/ or parties, take a few seconds to add some neatly placed flowers around and watch how your cake goes from (nice) to (food network fantastic).
If your are interested in edible flowers here is a few links with lists of edible flowers you might like.
This tops my list for best looking flower on food, put a couple of these on a burger with some veggie and youve got a $100 dollar burger IMO.

Just remember, when people look at you weird for putting flowers in your food, just look back at them weird like, ......you dont put flowers in your food ? Its all relative.
