The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

sparklepower @beehaw.org fresh figs - they make a tasty snack, and the flavour is mild and pleasant. i can understand some people not enjoying the texture though.

Mostly eat em fresh, but I've used them to make a filling to biscuits a couple of times. I just feel bad cooking down smth so fresh lol. Feel like it should be consumed raw and instantly. But I like em in salads or grilled up too!
