Bemelkite

[OmanYorkie]

My grandmothr used to refer to blackberries as Bumelkites, - not sure of the spelling. Has anyone heard of this name. Perhaps Yorkshire dialect?

Bummlekites is Yorkshire dialect for blackberry - read all about it here:

Fantastical northern expressions were exactly what I was after. I'd flicked through Swaledale by Andrew Fleming and found myself skimming past local gems like "rummleduster" (troublesome person), "pazzocking" (prowling about), "bummlekite" (blackberry), "dozzened" (soaked) and "glishy" weather (a bright morning but you know it's going to rain later). Would anyone still talk like this in Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales, where I was now heading?
