The Bramble, also called the Blackberry, yeilds a delicious fruit which
old folklore tells us not to eat after September 29th, Michealmas. If
you do then the Devil will spit on them! However, there is an insect,
the flesh-fly, which does put a saliva-like fluid onto the fruit which
it later sucks up along with the juice of the fruit.
