buckwheat. The grain of buckwheat resembles the seed of the beech tree, so the Dutch called it bockweit, or “beech wheat.” From bockweit came the English buckwheat, which is used in Europe mainly for animal feed (“A grain which in England is commonly fed to horses,” Dr. Johnson notes characteristically in his Dictionary, “but in Scotland supports the people.”), but is used in America to make buckwheat pancakes and was the name of one of the most popular characters in the “Our Gang” film comedies.
