Stuffed Candlewick Flower

Stuffed Candlewick Flowers were a vegetarian dish made by stuffing the blossom of a candlewick flower with a sweet and creamy filling and then frying them. It was made by Alderaanians on the homeworld of the candlewick, the Core Worlds planet Alderaan, and on Birren, an Inner Rim world where Alderaanian settlers introduced the flower.

On Birren, both the flower and dish survived the destruction of Alderaan by the Galactic Empire in 1 BBY, and during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he made between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs picked as much candlewick as he could on Birren so that he could make Stuffed Candlewick Flowers as a special treat. Tuggs then included a recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY.
