Rhubarb, is it a fruit or a vegetable? If you guessed fruit, than you are in the majority. Most people think it is a fruit. Nope! It is a vegetable. I gave some to a friend awhile back.

Oh my, now when I give rhubarb to someone who has never cooked it, I warn them about how tart it is, and I give them this recipe.
