It means you came by cicle, dear. And no, there's no way anyone could be smarter than a park ranger. I know.

Used by native Americans in our neck of the woods as both an emetic and a cathartic to treat illness. I dared another ranger to taste one; she barely bit into it but still it took three days for the taste to go away.

I had no idea that chicory was a cute purple flower. I once had a cup of chicory coffee. It was so awful that I dumped almost the whole cup into the sink.

Chicory. Edible. In fact it was brought to North America by Europeans as a familiar food source and has become naturalized all over.
