Huckleberry
Famous literary Finn
A huckleberry is a small dark berry native to North America, similar to a blueberry but with larger seeds and a tangier flavor.
The shrubs grow wild in forests and mountains.
In older American slang, to be someone's huckleberry meant to be the right person for a job or a willing participant: I'm your huckleberry.
The phrase survives mainly through Western films.
