Yep, ours too. Although it seems to be springing up all over the garden now

I think this is a metaphor concerning multiculturalism in Toronto.

We get lots of weed in BC.

Not sure about rhubarb

Maybe you should allow it to grow in your raspberry patch, it could form a hybrid and be a rhuberry, or a rasbarb, then the pie making is twice as simple.

On the other hand, just thinking of something long and purple with bobbly bits on it has made me lose my appetite.

I'm glad I was not drinking then, it would have gone all over the keyboard

Question.

What's long and thin
Covered in skin
Red in parts
Goes in tarts





















Rhubarb!!!!!!

I love rhubarb. I made a pie just the other day with some I'd got from a local farm nearby (god, I'm middle class sometimes)

Why would somebody flatten it?

so is that the definaition of middle class then? buying rhubarb from a farm?

Working class must be stealing flat rhubarb from the side of the road.

They buy their rhubarb ready made in a sara lee pie from lidl. It's desert after turkey twizzlers.

Wife made a nice Rhubarb crumble last week, with nice runny custard, not that thick stuff.


We noticed Strawberry Rhubarb (just after we bought the crumble supplies) at the Farmer's Market and wondered what that was, will try that next time if its still around.


As for the destroyers, my guess it was a team of ninja farmer's wife's stifling the competition.

or Hutterites

Got a big bunch from the Farmers' Market last week and had a jolly yummy crumble........just needed a tin of decent custard to top it off or better still clotted cream.

You don't get Hutterites around here. Mennonites, but they revere rhubarb, famously putting it in their horse drawn pies.

Am I the only person who when he saw the thread title thought of this....?
