Do you have Rhubarb in the colonies ?


Is this just a british thing ? Ive got an urge for Rhubarb crumble at the moment. But my Mam is struggling to find Rhubarb in any of the local supermarkets.

I used to hate it as a kid but I love it now. We used to grow it behind a wall in the garden, I suppose its just a poverty food really.

My wife wont eat it or cook it so maybe the rhubarb market will die with me.
it grows easily in my hometown but nobody likes it. My mom
cooked it ONCE. My dad was the only person who could
tolerate eating it----but he was used to disgusting food---his
mom grew up in England......that and boiled to death cabbage
 
It use to grow in a neighbors yard when I was a kid. People use to also make rhubarb pie, but I haven't seen one in likely 40 years.

You already selfishly ate, drank, and smoked yourself into being a burden on society. Do you really need to get even fatter?

When I was a kid, my next door neighbors had a grandmother lying with them who was a sweet lady from Great Britain. They had a garden and grew (among other items) rhubarb. “Nana,” as she was known, introduced us to rhubarb pie and rhubarb crumble.

It wasn’t great. Rhubarb is a bit too tart to really work as the base for a “fruit” pie. But, after several years, getting an occasional over the fence gift from Nana, I acquired a limited taste for it.

"Colonies"???? :laughing0301:

Yes, we have rhubarb in the United States of America, tons of it. It grows in most everyone's yard up here in Colonial Wisconsin, and they even sell stalks of it at the local Walmart.
 
Been in the gardens and markets here in the PNW since I was a kid (60+ years).
In pies using just rhubarb, rhubarb with strawberries, with apples, and a few other fruits.
We've a couple of plants in our garden. I've used it in a chunky sweet-n-sour sauce for Asian and other similar dishes. Also chutneys.
