In 1947 Rhubarb was legislated from a vegetable to a fruit....Control yourselves people.....only 11 lbs of Rhubarb leaves is fatal for the average adult if consumed orally.

Thank you Ken.



If I ever decide to off myself, it will be with rhubarb leaves.

… for a second there I had wires crossed and thought this thread had been closed (it was in fact the then concurrent Epi Thunderbird Beavis & Butthead loan-shop thread) Time sure is fun when you're having flies.

I'm scared to ask how else one might consume rhubarb other than orally?

Especially the leaves. The stalks, maybe, but I kinda prefer to taste them. I'll have to go back and reread the whole thread to see how it ended up in rhubarb (which I do love)!

Much speculation there.....I am sure its been attempted at least once.....Food has been trial and error for millenia......"twas a brave man that ate the first oyster" And such.

I think it all goes back to the behavior most of us exhibited as babies - want to find out what something is? Stick it in your mouth!

(Or, as Mike Myers said in "So I Married An Axe Murderer": "My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare." - yeah, I'm part Scottish.)

Black Sea Bass in rhubarb! Mmmmm.

Amazing. Eight pages and this thread is still on topic. Must be a new record.

Was just watching an episode of Last Man Standing where Tim Allen talks about the first guy to try milk..

"hey - you see these things at the bottom far-end of the cow? I'm going to squeeze 'em and taste what comes out.."

Classic..

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.

I had to re-read to find the intro to Rhubarb....

 

[ChefKen]

A nice attempt, but I'm afraid that I can only award two points for this. Cucumber and the pumpkin family (which includes the squash) have already been mentioned, and okra is actually a seed pod.

Okra is nightshade family member....dont eat the flowers!

Must be snark intolerent........

I don't know why, but I find this very amusing.

You can blame Groucho for the rhubarb.

Or lack thereof.
