No one ever talks about Gooseberrys or Rhubard these days. Yet there are few tastier items than yoghurts or fools flavoured by these wonderful 2fruits" (is rhubarb a fruit?)

What else is there, not just food?

Tesco do a very tasty "Champagne Rhubarb Yoghurt" It has cream in too.

Anyway, shouldn't you be manning the 'phones?

Rhubarb is the best. Do you get Tamarillos over here?

Although I am going through a phase of liking homemade plum jams and marmalade at the moment.

I actually grow three types of Rhubarb on my little hobby farm. Can't remember their names I'll ask my farm manager later. Two types get sent off to two factories. One makes frozen pies, tarts and muffins and the other uses it in sauce, spreads (called marmalade here) and puddings. The latter firm is very nice as they always send me a jar of jam from the first batch. The last of the varieties is supposedly quite rare and is sold direct to the public, although some enterprising types take great bundles to the market.

Rhubarb and ginger jam is lovely.

If you think about, every plant makes a noise as it grows and new shoots open and buds pop out.

You need specialist equipment of course set to monitor time lapse recordings of the growth process.

I am informed that rhubarb sounds like whalesong dropped 10 octaves.
