One of the joys of eating seasonally, is the coming of new crops and new flavours. While not totally new as in something that you have never tried before, but flavours, tastes and dishes that you have not been able to have for a while. Thus it was with delight that I saw the first of the new season Rhubarb in the Greengrocers. When I had a foster garden (Allotment), it was one of those free crops as I have never had a foster garden that did not have it growing in. It was often neglected but once dug up, divided and nurtured again they come up again very well.
So it is really nice to see Greengrocers stocking these items when in season. It is often in these ways that the small independent shops keep the customers coming back. And it is these small shops that make a community.
So with this seasons rhubarb I made a crumble this weekend and pleased my partner no end. If any man wants to know how to please a woman, cook for her.
