    No...it was a quick question so I came here! :p

    I was going to make some potato salad, but I don't think pink flowers will help it any. :D

    And you got quick answers. :p:D

    Just to add to what zippy has posted, the chives are fine to use in potato salad and the flowers are delicious and really liven up a green salad.

    Sadly, they're not. I think they're a bit (lot!) on the old side - hard and fibrous. :(

    I'm going to improvise with nice fresh home-grown radishes. I hope that'll work. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Oh dear, thankfully my chives are still fine to use. Your idea of radishes as a substitute sounds good. :) I might give that a go when mine are finally ready. The rotten weather this month hasn't helped mine to grow. :(

    Can I use chives that have flowered?

    shame that yours have gone woody - I sprinkle the flowers over a tomato salad - very pretty :)

    I pinched the pot of chives from my dad about a fortnight ago. They're probably years old. :rotfl:

    Radish substitute appears acceptable. :D

    It's nice to see I'm still being properly looked after, even though most of my time is spent in the garden rather than the kitchen, these days. :D

    Oh, while I'm here, can I use this yoghurt?
