Rhubarb is a commonly grown plant in the UK where it can be seen poking through piles of manure. The leaves are inedible, but the stems are valued for dessert recipes such as crumbles, pies, tarts, cakes, and, of course, rhubarb fool. It has a tart sour taste and needs you to be generous with the sugar. I usually mix it with apples or other fruits.

It's not technically a fruit but is usually referred to as such in the kitchen. It's a polarising fruit that people either love or hate. But where do you stand?
