Can I cook (tempura/fry) the flowers of the wild pumpkin vine?

I have only tried the flowers uncooked, they wew slightly sweet an aromatic I think cooking them would destroy the flavour.

Can I cook (tempura/fry) the flowers of the wild pumpkin vine?
Yes you can, and they are tasty!
Reply:With all the other good things to cook and eat why would you want to be eatting vines.
Reply:Is the wild pumpkin a member of the curcurbit family like a domestic pumpkin? If it is I'd think you could eat the flowers seeing the flowers of squash, pumpkin, zuccinni and probably even gourds are edible.
