There’s a really nice article on Rhubarb on the Telegraph site (Family favourite given a foodies’ makeover), it’s interesting to consider how it’s become so fashionable. Personally I have mixed memories of it as a child, my siblings being very disparaging about it but I was generally a fan, particularly in a pie or a crumble. My dad always grew rhubarb but I’ve never tried so I might give it a go this year especially having seen this recipe for a one-crust Rhubarb pie by Delia Smith – very tempting!
I’ve similar experience with rhubarb, not good as a child. We now grow our own and it’s changed my relationship with it :). It’s a great addition to roasted meats in a stuffing or as a side vegetable.
I’ve a new recipe for a rhubarb polenta cake with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom & almonds that has been going down well http://bit.ly/rhucake Enjoy!
I am growing some rhubarb, which is almost ready to eat. I haver been ‘forcing’ it this year. Pics are on my blog

I’m a fan! Fairly easy to grow, and wonderful in a crumble!
