Heres a seasonal one. A superstition really. You should not pick or eat Blackberries after the 11 October, Old Michaelmas Day. This is because when St Michael threw Satan out of Heaven on Michaelmas day he landed in a Blackberry bush and he (Satan) cursed the bush. I was reminded of this as I have just watch "This Morning" and they made and ate Apple and Blackberry pie!!! |
