 The little bluish-black berries are by some considered 

 " flat " if eaten alone in pies or puddings. They should 

 be corrected by the acidity of black currants, and are 

 then excellent ; although, as Gerarde truly remarks, 

 1 1 they do colour the mouth and lips of those that eate 

 them of a black colour."
