You don't use them to make a spray for your garden??

It's all new to me :-)

Mainly because it was never one of the things I was wanting to look into.
The last time I had rhubarb was as a kid still living at home...... and it
was never that good, so I grew up not really ever wanting to try it again.

And now, knowing that it was probably cooked to death like everything else
was back then and therefore was totally lacking in flavour and texture,
and after seeing that recipe for the brulee, I'm starting to look at
different ways to utilise it.

So yeah...... my eyes are opening to an old dish...... but this time it's
going to be cooked the correct way!!
