Thyme .. flowers .. stoopid question .. do you cook them as well or take them off ?

[yaddayah]

Yep I know its the dullest question ever

But I've never cooked with it before (apart from dried) and now I have my lovely herb garden .. and my organic chicken is just sitting there .. waiting

please ??

pretty please
with thyme flowers on

or off ?

taste them, fine on if you like. look pretty too.

Thanks pretty herbs it is then

what are you planning to do with the thyme? - if you are making stuffing, pick the leaves off the stalks and use them. If you are just chucking the sprigs into the cavity whole, use them with the flowers on

chucked them in the cavity with a lemon

stuffing is way beyond me !

I am so glad you asked this as i have lemon tyme and didnt know if i could use it with the flowers on. Same for rosemary. What makes them flower?
