	Wow, thanks for publishing this, Sporcle admins! I did wonder if it might be published on Shakespeare's birthday, but wasn't very hopeful, so I'm really glad I was right after all! :D

	I wrote "weeds" and it wasn't accepted!

	To answer the question in the title of your quiz: no I cannot, but I wish I could. I didn't even attempt it for fear of making a fool of myself. Great idea though!

	@buis_golalas: the pignut (Conopodium Majus) is a species of European perennial with an edible root/tuber popular with wild food aficionados.

	So I didn't get grapes, but I got cowslip, rue, and larkspur. I mean I did a scene where I compared my lover's cheeks to cowslip, but I must only remember the odd ones.

	Mushroom is neither a plant, tree, fruit or vegetable :p

	I went through flowers, trees, vegetables, herbs, fruits, and somehow ended up putting in tacos. That's when I knew I had been defeated. Great quiz!
