   hey stef, i love squash blossoms! nanay would always have them in her inabraw, or dinendeng. sometimes she’ll just have them blanched and make a salad with tomatoes, onions, bagoong na isda and calamansi. yum!

   It came to me as surprise the first time I encountered a squash flower n my food. I didn’t even know it existed! It was just like Mike said It was heavenly. I had yet to see it in pakbet, though.

   Oh yes, famous among the Ilocanos. They’re good for dinengdeng and for pakbet as well.
