Even if he was only doing it to fuel his rhubarb addiction he still did a amazing thing for the people of his city and I can respect that

Interesting facts about Rhubarb. The Rhubarb roots contains a laxative which unusually for herbal medicine is very consistent in its concentration. This laxative was quite popular with nobles in yee olden England.

The sewer system and indoor plumbing is one of the greatest human inventions that is often taken for granted.

The restaurant Rhubarb was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. And they had us sit in the rooms to enjoy drinks before and after the meal. It was a wonderful experience. Plus there's a cat that hangs out and the staff wear kilts.

If you want to see the medieval streets. They're still there in Edinburgh in Mary Kings Close. Basically the road starts off at 2 stoerys at one end and 14 storey's at the other. Facing the river. They filled in the river and built a trainstation. But in remodelling the city centre they just knocked those old streets level on top and just built the modern streets on top of them. So the old doors and windows are still down there with the sloping street dissapearing into the underside of the vaults that hold up the buildings and streets above, and you can get tours of it. It's amazing. Highly recommend it!

Our family has always had rhubarb in our garden. If you've never tasted rhubarb pie, you have no idea what you ate missing !!! The large leaves are inedible, however the ruby colored stalks are the gem of the plant. Cut into one inch pieces and mixed with sugar makes great rhubarb sauce or mix with tapioca and sugar then place in a pie for my favorite pie of all-time

The fact that this was done by a man named James Dick makes it all the funnier.

My Grfather had a rhubarb plant at his house in 1905...my Dad moved the plant to his house in 1946...my Dad moved in 1980 and brought the plant with him...I sold the house in 2022 and my son took one of the rhubarb plants to his house which was less than one half mile away from my Grfather's house...it was back home again, on the same still growing great...USA

We used to munch on rhubarb as kids at my grandparents farm. They said they planted it once and it just kept coming back. After running around the farm during the summers in Michigan it was refreshing to have some of the juicy sour stem to quench a bit of the thirst since we were far away from the hose for a drink.

wild rhubarb grows along a country path near my house. this rather spectacular patch which begins sprouting this time of year climbs up the steep slope that a field sita atop and it receives constantly moving water from an old mills breached wall. its kind of the perfect combo for them and they get MASSIVE! the path itself is roughly 6 feet across and it has a dug out from the mill and then the face of the slope which adds and additional 10 feet. by november there is roughly 3 feet of path which has tattered rhubarb leaves from the footfall. it becomes a nightmare to navigate but if you like rhubarb or botany its a really treat to see how impressive they can grow.

Rhubarb is one of my favorites so this restaurant just got on my bucket list

I love rhubarb! My mother used to make strawberry rhubarb pie and daddy and I just loved it so much. I don’t bother making a pie anymore. I just cook the rhubarb with a bit of sugar and devour it!
