For the first time, I had a lot of Illinois Bundleflower seeds to harvest. I've never cooked or eaten them before, and information online is pretty slim unfortunately. So, I just took a stab at something random. For the filling:

  • Desmanthus illinoensis seed/grain
  • Manoomin
  • Dried crushed rockweed
  • Black bean miso
  • Vegetable stock
  • Cheddar

...all stuffed inside a white scallop pattypan squash. It was... about as okayish as it looks, not fantastic, not terrible. Honestly I thought about posting it to c/ShittyFoodPorn instead ๐Ÿ˜…

More importantly than the quality of the dish, it turns out Illinois Bundleflower seeds are easy to cook and have decent flavor and texture! So, task failed successfully I guess? Thank you for your time!

I mean, id give that a go if I had any idea what any of those things were.

lol that's fair! Illinois bundleflower is a legume that produces nutritious little flax seed looking things, manoomin is kind of a grain similar to rice, rockweed is an algae, miso is a paste made of beans and cultured rice, pattypan squash is a summer squash shaped like a flying saucer.

Looks like vanilla icecream with oatmeal or something on top.

Not too appetizing
