Lewd ah hell, as well.

We all know from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that "the snozzberries taste like snozzberries", but what exactly does that mean?

Dicks. It's a dick joke. Yah. Charlie and company were licking dick-flavored wallpaper.

How do we know? In a later work about "the greatest fornicator of all time", Dahl used the word "snozzberries" in an exchange about a sexual assault against Charles Bernard Shaw in a scheme to steal and sell his semen.
