I have an aesthetic favorite, even if it's super cliche and basic. Roses. Pink or Red. 'tis not that hard to pick a favorite personally.
I can imagine Mathilde learning all there is about "flower language" thinking it's some secret Jade Language and getting frustrated Pan-pan doesn't get her messages.

Being real, Mathilde probably thinks Jades can talk to plants (and to be fair they can talk to Rivers and Trees), so she would assume flower language is speaking to plants and having them tell you the necessary secrets. The Golds have a spell for hiding messages in metal, so why not the Jades?
Which is perfectly valid. But it's also possible she just doesn't. Like, some people have a favorite color, but I personnally just don't understand how that works. For flowers it's similar. Some flowers are prettier, but I really couldn't make more than a vague and floaty general ranking.

I was more addressing the "that's weird" part of your statement. It's perfectly understandable to not have favorites, but it's also not all that weird for someone to have favorites. It comes pretty easily to me. I'm not even certain of what my favorite usually is, so it's usually whatever comes to mind first. That's a good trick. The favorite can change later, but I doubt anyone is going to hold it against me if I decided to switch favorites at some point.
So, I wrote that from the perspective of someone who doesn't get the easy favorite thing (here it would be hypothetical Panoramia, informed by my experience). I do think that's a little weird, in the sense of a little incomprehensible. I think several things people do is weird. I'm also aware that several things I do are probably considered weird. It's not any sort of judgement of good/bad (not even in the sense of taste), just difference.

Depending on who you ask, everything can be weird anyway
I literally don't understand what's wrong with that?
It's weird descriptively. The accepted convention is that cereal is eaten with milk. Commercials and the box art depicts cereal with milk, sure nothing says you have to eat your fries with ketchup, but you should be aware that dipping your fries in gravy while delicious is unusual.
I say this, but I've eaten of the bowls cereal I've eaten, 8/10 times is almost to the brim, dry Original Kellogg's.

Some people will react with horror to the very idea. I just never liked milk so I've always eaten them dry.

It's Mathilde. She killed a contestant at some point and is now on the bracket by right of conquest.

Heeeey. I also dislike milk. I drink fermented milk though (called laban in my country, local delicacy) and it's a fantastic alternative. It's like yoghurt, but you drink it instead of eating it.
If we're discussing milk, then maybe I should mention I've never actually drank cows milk ever? I'm vegetarian, and pour soya milk over my cereal.
Not missing much, the dissolved, soggy cereal at the bottom is disgusting.
On the flower language thing, don't dwarves already have this but in metals? Mathilde would be practical and cut her losses on understanding flower language and switch over to Dwarven metal language instead.
Probably not missing much? From what I know vegetarian foodproducers' philosophy is always to make it taste as close to the original.

Not really? I mean, I haven't read 1E Stone and Steel so maybe there is something there, but Dwarves are endlessly practical and they communicate through their written language, which canon attempts to make it so that it's a secret but Boney didn't even bother with that because the idea of keeping a language that you constantly speak and write in around others secret is an absurd idea.
Dwarves know a lot about metal and stone and their language is built around materialistic properties, but you won't see them giving you a bouquet of metals to send some sort of message of their love for you or something. They're a bit more obvious than that.
No, they'd take you mining and then invite you to a side tunnel to get some prospecting done.
Sweeter, less creamy, different aftertaste
There was also that Khorn champion at the Kul warcamp, and we still don't know if the snake lady demon from Vlag was a greater demon or a really mutated exalted champion of some sort (she loosely matches the description of Dechala, the Denied One, who was an Elf who received the Mark of Slaanesh, but can't ascend to full demonhood until her demon husband is slain).

I find it hard to believe Asarnil would not recognise Dechala the Denied One. Dechala was an Elven Princess and possibly one of the biggest shames of the Asur. I think Asarnil would probably be able to recognise something about her at least.

I'm pretty sure Boney only started the Tournament Bracket after the Slaaneshi died.
Isn't it more that you need favor of all Four, and after Be'lakor they've never do that for any Daemon Princes? And Be'lakor isn't going to get that crown either, because he's the reason they don't do it anymore. So by exclusion, you need to be a mortal champion.
