It's the burnet that you eat as salad, rather than the one that you don't. What's funny about that? :-)
(I would be more inclined to laugh at vetchling. But it does sound very cute.)

Yes, I particularly like the name "vetchling". From the planet Vetch, presumably.

The young leaves of Salad Burnet are said to taste of cucumber... I'm going to have to taste one, in the name of science, aren't I?
