Hold on a second ... you are telling me that maple flowers are edible. That's amazing. I had no idea. We have so many maple trees growing around here. I will have to give them a go. The pods looked amazing. What city were you in?

Yes -- although some kinds of maple tree flowers taste better than others. The red maple flowers get more tannic and astringent pretty quickly, than some of the other maples. But I like using some here and there, especially in a mixed salad. The Bigleaf Maple has big, substantial flowers. I use them a lot when they are in season. I was in Portland, Oregon.
Nice place I hear.
For a big city, it's pretty nice.
