Blackberries, Fovant Down
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Blackberries, Fovant Down There will be an abundant supply of blackberries later in the year. According to folklore, the berries should not be eaten after Michaelmas (29th September) because, it was said, the Devil spat on them, and they become mushy and insipid. The origin is probably due to the flesh fly, which dribbles saliva on the berries in order to suck up the juice. Brambles were sometimes planted on graves to stop the dead from walking on them. In July, female Shield Bugs tend their young in the bramble patches. This was considered by all to be the food of the faeries and it was extremely taboo to eat them within Celtic Britain. |
