Its a similar thing to when anyone asks you to "do" the Knight rider theme tune - you always end up sounding like a bad banjo impression.

Well, it aint crumble to be eaten in this house but humble.

Here's part of the scene. People well established in Canada will know, at a glance, that that's not rhubarb but burdock, trampled not out of fear but for it's juice. Juice that superstition holds will repel mosquitoes.

Having just googled this, it seems that "1st year" burdock and rhubarb look very similar, but burdock has hollow stems. :thumbup:

Dandelion and burdock was, I think, an odd beverage consumed by dirty kneed boys in short trousers in the north. Just William probably drank it. I don't think it involved alcohol.
