I didn't grow up eating rhubarb very much. I remember one spring when my parents discovered that we had a patch of it growing in the back yard and cut it down, but by the following spring, we weren't living in that house anymore, so no more rhubarb for us. It wasn't until I moved to Philly and started shopping at Farmers' Markets did I start exploring the wonderful world of rhubarb. And now I adore it.

This picture comes from Flickr user Lelonopo. She's been having a terrific time with rhubarb this season, turning it into drinks, cakes and breads. Deliciousness! Thanks for adding your image to the pool, Lelo!

I'm almost embarrassed to say I don't think I've ever seen a rhubarb in it's natural state before now. For some reason I thought it would look more like a beet.

Love the rhubard. My mom had (still has) a little patch that grows in the side of the house. Every summer was filled with rhubarb pie, strawberry-rhubarb pie, rhubarb sauce (like apple sauce but with...well, you know,) etc...Hell, me and some friends of mine would often just take a stalk, and eat it raw by dipping the end into some sugar then taking a bite, repeat till rhubarb is done.

Strange that the leaves are DEADLY POISON but the stalks are so damn good.
