Two big rhubarb plants grew out by the barn of my dad's horse. They supplied several of our neighbors with their yearly rhubarb diet. I found the stuff to bitter for my taste until someone introduced me to strawberry rhubarb pie. That is a treat I will not pass up.

Unforced rhubarb is very sharp to taste, which is why it's best stewed with golden syrup and sugar first. Then you can make crumble :-D

Easy Rhubarb Sauce: You will need: 3 cups Rhubarb* 1 cup fruit of choice** (I like strawberries pineapple) 1/2 to 1 cup sugar*** Heavy bottomed pot (to prevent burning) 1/2 cup or so of water 1 Tbs tapioca or corn starch Step 1: Chop rhubarb stalks into roughly 1-2 inch long pieces. Thick stalks can be cut it half. Step 2: Add water, rhubarb, and sugar to the pot and cook on low to medium low heat until tender, stirring enough so that nothing sticks. If sauce is too thick add more water. Higher heat can burn or lead to boiling over. Step 3: Once everything has broken down and turned saucy mix starch with 2ish Tbs of water to make a slurry and add it to the sauce. Mix it in well. Cook this until it starts to thicken then you're done. It's great over ice cream and angel food cake or with vanilla pudding and Graham crackers for some crunch. My grandma likes it over granola at breakfast. It keeps for a few days in the fridge or you can freeze part of it. *If you have a lot of rhubarb you can add up to 1 1/2 cups more rhubarb. Just add a bit more sugar to prevent it from getting too tart. ** If using dried fruit then use about a 1/2 cup chopped pieces and add in a little bit more water. ***amount of sugar is up to personal preference and choice of fruit.

When we bought our house many years ago, we had a corner of the garden overtaken by rhubarb. My husband knew he hated rhubarb because his mum told him so... he couldn’t recall trying it, but then his mum assured him he hated pizza too. (He had an extensive list of foods him mum told him he hated). So he tried like crazy to get rid of the rhubarb... it’s still there... And thriving Since then he’s eaten and loved most things on his list. Oh yeah, we live in... Yorkshire, we don’t need to force it, it forced us, but it means every single year I can charges, chop and freeze it or make rhubarb jam and have it available all year round, unless my husband gets in there and scoffs it all.

Hey!!...thank you Simon...you reminded me to plant the new crowns of rhubarb that I have been nursing for the past 2 years...they are now in situ...Love from Scotland

Hard to kill... You're not kidding. I accidentally put a spade through a crown a couple of months ago... After uttering a few words I put the severed piece into a free bit of ground, and hoped I hadn't killed the original plant. Not only did the original plant not bat an eyelid, but the severed piece has already thrown up its first leaf! My little plot - an anarchistic rectangle - is actually under a tree, so it gets automatic fertiliser from birds doing what they do in tree branches, and a load of dead leaves every autumn.

Good job, Simon. Im proud of you.

Rhubarb, said over and over, was taught to us high school theater students as a way for the audience to hear the equivalent of murmuring. We would go down the halls between other classes and greet each other saying, "rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb?" the correct reply was "rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb." 😂

Grew up in the Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle, and worked in an old forcing shead... and yes I did grew quite a fair bit of Rhubarb, but sadly not forced.

Until this video I had no idea you could eat the stalks raw. I loved stewed rhubarb with hot custard as a child. 😁

My friend's dad grew Rhubarb in his garden when I was a kid. Never had it raw but it made excellent crumble.

We had a small rhubarb patch in our Wyoming garden. We had the best rhubarb and strawberry-rhubarb pies during the summers!

My German grandmother makes a wonderful rhubarb pie. This video makes me want to ask her to make me one... it’s so good! Rhubarb is a miracle plant, to be sure.

Thanks Simon, now I’m craving rhubarb crumble and custard. Crimble crumble

My childhood home had lots of rhubarb. We had two large patches on either side of our garage. We let anybody who wants some pick it because there's no way we could eat even a quarter of it. But it grows so well and spreads so much that we had to try getting rid of most of it and we dug it up and put weed killer on it and all that did was make it so we couldn't eat any of it that year. Lol. Its hardy stuff. The stalks that are dark red taste the best but the green ones make great pies. My favorite dish is a pie made with rhubarb and dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, and cherries. There is literally no fruit that doesn't taste good with rhubarb in my my experience.

Sidenote, the soil is so good in the triangle because it was the dumping ground for the night soil men of all three cities. Yes,indeed, human sewage was dumped across the area for centuries due to its unique position between 3 cities, then after the industrial revolution the woolen industry started using the area for disposal of shoddy which again is basically wool full of tagnuts.

Rhubarb does fantastic in Alaska!

During World War 2, my mother grew rhubarb in her “Victory Garden”. She fed me sweetened stewed rhubarb every day.

Iv tasted rhubarb once and it was in a tea . Its a very unique flavor I really miss it .

I didn't know rhubarb was a big deal in GB. I'm American and my grandparents grow it in their garden and my grandma makes pies from it and yes, it's delicious.

My Grandfather on my Father's side was an immigrant from Norway and he grew Rhubarb, not much like those enterprising people in Britain but enough to make a few bottles of wine.

We use to dip rhubarb in sugar as kids. Carried around my grandma's sugar packets!

Sounds similar to ice wine, (with the cold making the grapes sweeter.).

Being raised by a Yorkshire girl, no wonder she always grew rhubarb in her garden and in the early spring we ate all things rhubarb.

Oregon had a reputation for being big in rhubarb. Never really noticed much that was similar between that state and Yorkshire though... (of course, I've not been to Yorkshire all that much...)

been watching WW2 documentaries, and just wondered; Who would be the militarily superior country; who would be allied with who and why?

My grandfather as well as others in the middle of Indiana grew rhubarb. I liked the tartness enough to get in trouble for raiding grandpa's crop. We knew nothing of the nocturnal formulation of the sugars.
