It’s that time of year again.
.
.
Rhubarb time. When everyone who grows the noxious plant tries desperately to pawn it off on unsuspecting strangers. This rarely works, but if you’re visiting Maine in June, be warned.
Our small town has a wonderfully inventive food bank and is supported by many of our organic farmers. You never know what they’ll whip up next.

Lots of items are advertised for free around these parts.

No free turtle? I’ll pass.

Believe me when I say you don’t want this fellow nibbling on your toes.

River's world..... 
I’m wondering why the turtle is on the pile of manure. Seems like a strange place for a turtle.

Properly prepared, rhubarb is the food of the, not gods, but poor people everywhere. I just happen to be poor. I grow my own, but our season is far behind yours.

It’s just funny because here, everyone grows it….. yet no one seems to want it.

I LOVE rhubarb. It’s a little potent all on its own, but Strawberry rhubarb pie is incredible. When I was a kid living in Scotland, our (Incredible) school lunch included a rhubarb tart with Ambrosia Devonshire custard. So good it almost makes me go back to fifth grade.

I think the Ambrosia Devonshire custard had a lot to do with its appeal.

Absolutely. The creamy sweet custard against the tartness of the rhubarb, along with the shortbread crust make an excellent balance of flavors and textures. We don’t have to arm wrestle over it, if you don’t want to.

Rhubarb isn’t grown here but, my moms old neighbor would make berry (wherever berry she could get her hands on) rhubarb pie and I loved it, so did my dad. My mom and brother not so much. Snappy looks……evil, lol.

That’s really the only acceptable way to eat it. Smothered in strawberries and sugar. It’s bitter and tough on its own.

If I take the rhubarb off their hands, do I get the bucket too?

I just want to be rewarded for my good deed. The bucket is worth more than the Rhubarb.
