I like rhubarb pie but we dont have a pie dish long enough! seriously I love rhubarb crumble and custard that is gorgeous! Dave

Just stew it Dave, and then pour on the cream/custard - dont have to get the rubbed in stuff under your nails that way! Jacqui

i love eating it raw and dipping it in a bowl of sugar. mmmmmmmmm yummy

Like it stewed to Jaqui,didnt catch that programme Brenda bet it was interesting. Dave

OOoooooo ...I love Rhubarb too !!! hot, cold, boiled sweet type....Gawd who ate all the pies !!!...me.. Anita :p

very funny Fred lol! prefer custard on mine though! Dave

Love it just plain stewed with a bit of golden syrup in, or no syrup and add it to a yogurt! :))

Rhubarb, orange and ginger crumble with custard. Janice

I make rhubarb crumble or cobbler served with vanilla ice cream. Rhubarb & strawberry pie & rhubarb jam, which I sometimes add strawberries to. All very yummy.........mmmm Liz.

Hot rhubarb and cold plain yoghurt. Delicious.Put a few raisin and freshly chopped ginger in it. Deanna

i love Rhubarb, but have never thought to eat it raw.....maybe next time??? Apart from the usual crumble, stewed with custard, and pies or sponges the favourite in my house is stewed in a little port, then chilled and stirred into a mix of whipped cream and mascarpone, makes a really rich dessert and when served in a glass dish looks real posh, lol. Yvette

I cook it in a pan with sugar, finely grated orange zest and a tiny drop of water until it's smooth like a puree. When it's cold I fold it into greek yoghurt. As a treat you can even fold in mascarpone or whipped cream. I can't stand rhubarb any other way so this is my idea of heaven. Louise

I love rhubarb and custard

Yvette that sounds lovely stewed in Port Dave

Crumble and custard definitely. And Yvette, I'm definitely trying it with port and marscapone! I'm drooling now. May just have to go and make some custard and eat it without the crumble! Daisy

I can never eat rhubarb unless it's cooked with a little bicarbonate of soda - the acid in it sets my teeth on edge! I'd like to grow it in the garden, but as I'm the only one in the family who would eat it, most would probably go to waste, as I don't think it freezes well. Or does it? CB >|<

Dave and Daisy I can definitely recommend it :-) Yvette

I usually put a tablespoon or two of port on my grapefuit half but never thought of putting it on Rhubarb! Dave

Yvette I'm going to make it at the weekend. What do you call it? Daisy

As a child I once ate unripe rhubarb and was so ill I can't even bear the sight of it now - Yuckety yuck
