    Lavender features prominently in herbs de Provence, a fairly well known herb mix in general, but the lavender variation is regional to North America. It's pretty good in steak with a Dijon mustard and brandy marinade, especially with sauteed onions or shallots. If you don't want to eat the herb itself and just want to infuse the sauce, just use a sachet with the herbs, strain the herbs or scrape off.

    Honestly, I've never really had or met anyone who truly enjoyed the flavor or any flower. I've had people enjoy it because of the novelty, but I've never heard of anyone having a craving for them.

    My friend is obsessed with lavender as a fragrance and as a flavour, for me it's when I'm in the mood. As for other flowers, we use chrysanthemum in quite a few Chinese dishes and tea.

    I've had chrysanthemum tea before, and I don't really see the appeal. I mean I guess if it's a thing, someone has to like it, but nobody I know, and I come from a Chinese family. I don't know of any food that uses it, could you name some dishes?

    It's mostly in desserts. I've made an ice cream with it, some cake and you can get chrysanthemum jelly in some dim sum places. Floral flavours aren't for everyone though. I don't mind it too much as long as it isn't super overpowering.

    Oh yes, and syrup.

    I've tried rose petals, they're... good enough. But don't cook me with rose petals or lavender or any herbs.
