   Then I do know what the plant looks like!  Mom always called the
prickle balls cockleburs, and I assumed that is what the plant was
called.  I attack it ruthlessly in the yard 8^( 'cause it makes a royal
mess in my dog's fur.

    I use burdock, peeled and sliced in stews, and when I made the salad
for the deli it was beets and burdock and beet greens stir-fried and
dressed.
