Why don't you just try it? Rhubarb, what we call rabarber and also use like you folks for stage murmur (as a word), is in the garden also almost like a weed, a wild plant. Just have a taste of it, unless you dislike rhubarb anyway. Because unless one is totally sure if a plant is edible, it could be poisonous. I've tasted it: acrid. I love rhubarb and have plants for pies, etc. Not much of a cook but love the sauce. Will send you a picture of both wild and domesticated, whenever it stops raining.

I got something for you. [ off topic] tetragonia When you run out of rhubarb try this. I'm jalous you can just pick it on the beach. And delicious. But, a fantastic garden grower too. New Zealand spinach Stir-fry with a small onion, tiny bit of cinnamon and nutmeg.

But, the word rhubarb does have a connotation of `brawl` or `a heated dispute`. Refer: AWAD`S theme on `Slang`.

Yummy! I must admit I have never knowingly tried it but I'll pick some up at my local and see how she grows.

Here in the plains we have wild rhubarb, looking very much
like the edible kind. Sometimes someone will pick a stalk
and try to eat it. It may be edible, who knows?, but it
sure does not taste good. Some folks add a bunch of sweetener of one sort or another. If you haven't prepared the rhubarb yourself you might not be aware of this fact. Whatever you do, don't eat the leaves. Of course. Then again I should not say that, as there are some who probably do not know that. Wild rhubarb and domesticated are distinctly different. I promised Bran a picture, and will post it on Flickr when I get it to my computer (since I cannot seem to post on the threads.)

Here are pictures I took of wild rhubarb growing on the creek
in my yard, and a picture of a stalk of the wild as compared
with 'domestic' or 'edible' rhubarb.
