Does anyone here know what 'sevish' means?
 
My children are learning about compass directions and I suddenly remembered
a sentence I was taught as a child (by my great grandmother?) 'Never Eat
Sevish Wheat'.  I believe that I was told that it meant 'rotten', which
would make sense in this context but I just want to check.
 
A quick google search has not been very helpful.
 
Thank you in advance
 
Tina
