Rhubarb

[poliphilo]

Dot has rhubarb in her garden. We picked a bunch the other day. She and Ailz won't eat it but I will. Their loss. I cook it up with ginger and brown sugar and serve it with cream.

I LOVE rhubarb. It was in my grandmother's garden. We don't have any in Spain (it doesn't grow where we live as it's too hot and dry) but last May we went to France and I brought back a huge bunch of rhubarb from our friend's garden and made strawberry-rhubarb pies and rhubarb compote. YUM

That sounds delicious. I've never thought of cooking it up with ginger. Did you use fresh ginger or the dried powder?

I like to cook it up with apples and raisins and a little bit of cornstarch and honey.

My mother makes hers with a lot of sugar and a package of strawberry gelatin.

When I was a child, I'd just pull out out a stalk and eat it with salt. I thought it was deliciously sour. :D

I love rhubarb, provided it's ripe - why do "they" insist on selling it green?

As a child, we had rhubarb that grew and grew, and I ate lots of it. Regrettably I've not been able to reproduce that success.
