    I'm American, but listening to Alfie here, learning from him, I'll most likely pronounce all of these, in a British accent, when referring to them. I can't help it. Cheeky bastard!

      I know, lol. I'm the same way. When people come out to camp with me they are like "why the fuck are you talking like that?" Then I have to tell them about Alfie, and after that I never hear anything but Alfie references when speaking about things in the woods.

    Ragwort is in the states.. not where I live, but it's here lurking about. Also.. Pokeweed is not only SUPER toxic.. it also stains your skin for DAYS. Will ruin your clothes too. I learned the hard way as a kid with my mom harping at me to stop playing with it.

    Gotta hand it to ya Alfie - your videos are ingenious and extremely entertaining and quite informing. You know your shit. I am a naturalist and also teach some bushcraft. When it comes to plants and fungi I feel fairly confidant. Nope. You would school the crap out of me. Hats off to you man. I wish I still lived in England, just so I could hit the woods with you once in a while. I commented on some of your other videos, but they are under my other name (Chris Egnoto). If you ever hit the Eastern States, look me up and maybe I can take you to the Pine Barrens or something. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe!

    It taste like watermelon with out the melon. LOL.
    In the USA we say it taste like chicken when we don't really know what it taste like.
    So the next time you try to explain a taste, just say it taste like chicken. The stupid people (in the USA) will believe it and will explain it that way to others and the smart people already knows it's not going to taste like chicken if it's not chicken.
    And now you know the rest of the story.
    Good day.
