When we first saw this item on breakfast TV we agreed with you lot but on reflection our daffs ' could ' be mistaken for edible plants like wot are grown in some Oriental countries.

Aimed, of course, at "those customers for whom English is not their first language". Let them eat daffodils

One of our church leaders a few years ago ate a daffodil flower to illustrate her sermon. She had no ill-effects whatsoever.

I think that, even if English isn't your first language, you'd have to be out under supervision if you really thought a flower was there to be eaten,

I understand some trendy lefties are quite keen on nasturtium flowers with their salads.

I believe they have a peppery flavour (the nasturtiums, not the lefties) I also see, on varicose of the Masterchef programmes, that a lot of dishes have little colourful flowers as garnish. What's that all about?

Eating daffodils can be serious. A friend of mine ate some and was admitted to hospital. Doctors said he would be out in the Spring

The benefits of 'Knowing your onions' have never been so obvious.

Keeping daffs and onion bulbs apart seems to be a sensible approach to me. I can invisage a situation where a child could pick up a daff bulb and drop it into the onion tray :think:
