    I'll be able to try it next week. Looking forward to it. My first strawberry!

    @PJReid, I started doing it because I couldn't bear to waste the vegetables and was very happy to discover that it led to a better stew.
    Really hope you like it:)

    Hi ya All ... I hope you are making a fine day of it!!!

    Anyways, by accident I posted the following in another thread that I meant for here. :facepalm:

    Perfumer Flavorist posts some excellent, and very useful, info on flavors and use. If anyone is interested here are some Rose flavor notes I received today.

    Don't laugh, apparently it's used in a lot of foods and beverages. It's mainly an enhancer unless someone intentionally goes for a Rose ejuice (yuck). Virgin Vapor used to sell a Rose juice that my wife liked a lot. It was strong and floral (not for me).

    There are some really good tips on using Rose flavoring to bring out the authenticity and realism in several fruits on page 2, a couple tea's, honey, ginger and cream soda on page 3.

    Based on their notes I'm thinking of starting with a single drop in a test mix and going from there.

    BCF has FA Rose and FLV Rose (carted both). A reviewer at BCF said Rose flavoring is "normally used to smooth out tobacco blends".

    Happy reading!!! :)
    I vaped a lot of their florals in the early days. Jasmine was my favorite. I have a handful of floral flavors, but outside of honeysuckle, I haven’t used them much. I’ll have to read that later, thanks!

    I just came here to link to your post in the Shiny thread. Very interesting. I thought it would intrigue you, too, @FranC, since it seems like it gives a lovely, subtle boost to teas and fruits when used very, very sparingly. I might get the FA version (I'm sure FLV's is good, but those prices for an experiment?).

    I know but I can’t help but think the FLV might be better.Hopefully less all out floral.
    From Flavorah's description:

    "A combination between both a candied and floral Rose that doesn't have an overpowering earthy or floral note, so don't be scared. This flavor is perfect for a quality rose water but also combines great with other dark and red berries. Think fresh and fragrant rose petals, before they dry out and become potpourri. Little know fact: roses, apples, and strawberries are all closely related. That is probably why FLV Rose Essense is such a useful tool when accenting recipes based on these notes. Can also stand center stage for a floral profile or in tea+herbal recipes."

    Folks have used it in a wide variety of recipes.

    I read the descriptions. May chicken out on buying it and
    let someone else be guinea pig. As the only flavor on my wishlist it would be quite some time any way.

    You folks can have the rose flavor. I really don’t like floral flavors.
    Me either. I tried floral mixes. A couple seemed ok at first but that didn’t last long. At least I can say I tried it.

    So....Good Morning, Random folks:) Have you any plans today outside of shopping for Christmas? My Christmas shopping is done as well as first of the year birthdays. Today I am going to try a new mix...Fran's Irish Cream Milkshake. I've already filled the tank. I still have plans to mix also.
