We're that rare, huh? i guess so, since I just got it on sale. Also tried the rhubarb and custard by now - yum. Still have rhubarb and crumble to try!

I grew up eating rhubarb raw from all the backyards along our street. Sometimes dipped in sugar, although sugar was still expensive after the war. I couldn't eat it that way now!

I just got some rhubarb from my mother in law last night, lol. My grandpa grows it for me too. I used to eat it just like u did, right off the stalk! When I was old enough to notice it in the stores I couldn't figure out why it always had strawberry with it? I DO NOT want strawberries in my rhubarb anything, lol. My grandpa used to make rhubarb meringue pie of all things, so I just thought that was the way it was supposed to be?

I have made many rhubarb recipes, it's not the easiest thing to cook, and very rarely does it come out pretty, but I make a mean rhubarb custard crumble that I am pretty happy with. Grandpa likes it, but he is the only one who eats it besides me, so I may never know if it's any good or not. O well, more for me :)

I think u will be happy with both of them, I can't imagine there is another rhubarb liquid out there that is any better, I think they did a great job with it, and if it ain't broke....

I agree - keep your strawberries away from my rhubarb! I tried growing rhubarb when I had a garden in New England, but I didn't have much luck. Weird, as it grows untended all over the place in the UK.

Just got around to the rhubarb crumble. Also yum, a little sweeter than the others. Now I have to try the roast chestnut - threw that one in to make up the 5 pack Totally Wicked was selling.

A heads up - TW is listing these in their discontinued section. Boo. I'm gonna have to stock up!
