Flour made from buckwheat, saracen corn. This is made from the dried fruit seeds or groats of a relative of the dock plant and rhubarb rather than a cereal plant. It originated in the Orient and has been cultivated in Europe since the end of the 14th Century and produces a triangular seed. These are dehusked and dried and then ground into flour which is grey with black flecks. It is not ideal for breads but is used for pancakes and noodles.

Mixed salad. Generally speaking a mixed salad indicates that it is not a green salad. A mixed salad may have the same mixture of green leaves that populate a green salad, but might have a couple of tomatoes or some radishes, some red leaves or some peppers to jazz it up. Naturally, the quality of the mixed salad, and the green salad, will depend on where you are eating it. It only ever appears as a side dish.
