Oh I didn't know that morning glory was a flower too.
Yep. Fun fact: it has mildly hallucinogenic seeds (something like LSD), though you need to eat hundreds of them to have any effect, apparently. Not that I'd know.

I wouldn't want to eat any seed from something called like that.

Tsk.
There's actually a kind of muffin, popular here, called "Morning Glory". It has seeds and raisins and coconut and other stuff. Sort of a trail mix muffin, and it's delicious.I wouldn't want to eat any seed from something called like that.
No, I'm not making this up. And get your mind out of the gutter, now.

It looks good. Are the seeds in the image from that flower?

In a world where people put carrots into muffins, it's hard to tell hallucinations from the real thing.
We don't make cakes with carrots here, I think.
I'm sure I did once consider carrot cake as odd, but having got used to eating cakes made substantially out of potato flour I've entirely conquered any reservations I may have had there. If people are content to consume animal collagen (in the form of gelatine) in their desserts, it does seem odd that the presence of a root vegetable in their cake is considered more unappetizing.

It's alliterative. Like carrot and coriander soup.And what are your feelings on carrot cake?
Another controversial food. I happen to love it, but I know many don't. Carrot and coriander soup sounds delicious, though.
