Interesting.
This raises the issue for me as to whether Sempervivum are edible or not. I occasionally encounter the "rumor" that they are edible but when I go to look for hard information, cannot find any. However, they are called "house leeks" and leeks (the true kind) are edible.
Obviously, the flowers and a bit of the stem they are on are considered edible by this recipe. I'm wondering if anybody here has tried them. I'd also wonder about the use of uncooked eggs, although sugar by itself has some anti-bacterial and preservative properties.
Chris, do you have a link? Anybody have any good links for this topic?
