Rome

Italians aren't one to waste zucchini flowers, and typically pick some to prepare a Roman specialty—fried zucchini flowers stuffed with anchovies and cheese. Don't worry, the blossoms are abundant,​ and there are plenty to fry while leaving some to bear fruit.

The flowering season lasts throughout the summer months.
