Rhubarb is a leafy vegetable which bears thick red stalks. These are delicious when boiled with sugar and have been a popular vegetable for centuries
Rhubarb Info is a good resource on the net for those interested in finding out more about rhubarb. There is even a (fairly old) list of rhubarb festivals around the world, including the avocado and rhubarb festival in Tamborine Mountain, the Gold Coast.
But by far my favourite section is ‘rhubarb inspired art’ which includes a poem about rhubarb by John Cleese, several limericks and a painting by James Grainger, a surrealist who often features rhubarb in his work.
"Your rhubarb, I've noticed it grows
By the outhouse where everyone goes!"
Grandad said, "Lad,
It isn't so bad...
They're family! Just people we knows!"
