So I did.
When I was a child, there was nothing better than to sit on the ground next to the rhubarb with a bowl of sugar and dip the young rhubarb stalks and eat them raw. Sour but yummy!

Rhubarb!
A friend with a large rhubarb patch called me and said "It's ready! Come and get some!"
So I did.
Rhubarb is classified as a vegetable, but is generally used as a fruit in desserts and jams. It's strange that the stalks can be eaten, but the roots and leaves are poisonous and contain oxalic acid.

Rhubarb crumble. I had some for dessert. Good with a scoop of icecream, but even better with lashings of custard!

That rhubarb is way ahead of mine. It’ll be another two weeks for us. The grandkids love it.
ReplyDeleteAn old gentleman farmer I knew used to declare "Rhubarb is a spring tonic"!
DeleteYUM.
ReplyDeleteAfter a brother's mishap in preparing it, rhubarb is known as thumb in our family.
And you are right. Thumb and custard is a wonderful, wonderful dish.
You'll have to tell me that thumb story one day!
DeleteI am not a huge fan, but I think I would like your Rhubarb crumble.
ReplyDeleteThe crumble part has hints of cinnamon and ginger.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I don't like rhubarb.
ReplyDeleteSacrilege!!!!
DeleteMe neither. But I do like crumble more than pie. So I'd try it if I had the chance.
ReplyDeleteWell, my rhubarb crumble is super delicious, even though i do say so myself!
DeleteYour crumble looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I just read that you say it is super-delicious! Yum :)
I've heard about Rhubarb but rarely seen on the market here. They look like the stalks of “fuki”, or Petasites japonicas. “Fuki” is classified a vegetable and is used for traditional Japanese vegetable dishes. Your Rhubarb crumble must be more delicious with custard, though it looks yummy enough.

I must remember to grab some from a friend's farm. We make a rhubarb sauce to go with chicken and it is delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb everything. Funny that no one grows it in Ukraine. Tanya bought some seeds and we'll see what happens
ReplyDeleteRhubarb is such a welcome late spring crop! I love the zingy flavour after a long winter of nothing fresh from the garden.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a rhubarb crumble and custard, as long as it's sweet enough!
ReplyDeleteRhubarb apparently originated in Eastern Europe/Russia where the peasants were forbidden to eat it. Can't find it here in Ukraine so Tanya planted some seeds. We'll see how that turns out. I love rhubarb anything. Family friend years back made a pie but forgot the sugar. Took two liters of ice cream but I got it finished.
