My money's on Black Nightshade (Solanum nigrum).
See thread started by mudcow007 four days ago.

Yup. Eat them at your own risk! My research indicated that they
both are widely eaten and (relatively mild) poisoning is widely
reported. The papers didn't have a clue why.

I tried one once, and found it unexciting. No, I didn't suffer
any ill effects.


Is that the one that widens your pupils, dilates your blood vessels
and then if you have enough gives you a heart attack?

That sounds like deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna). Wikipedia says
that enough (to kill you) is 10 to 20 berries (less for a child).
