Reply to comment by FairfaxGirl in To Restaurants: Sakura blossoms don't taste like cherries by glopmod

People don't make the assumption that cherry blossom flavored food tastes like cherry because the trees are biologically similar.

​

They make the assumption because they assume a cherry blossom flavor tastes like cherries.

​

If everything cherry blossom flavored was called sakura no one would make that mistake.

​

I didn't say or suggest they were totally unrelated plants.

In my experience, dogwood and dogs are not remotely related.
