Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted October 2, 2007 #1 Posted October 2, 2007 After diligently searching for two weeks for rhubarb in the local stores, I finally found some at our Kroger store soooooo last night I made a rhubarb pie. :cool10: Sleeperhawk said "Not too bad!" If I can find rhubarb in the store before our South Carolina Meet and Eat, I will make one!
mini-muffin Posted October 2, 2007 #2 Posted October 2, 2007 Congratulations Bobbie. I've never made a rhubarb pie before. Jeff likes them but he's the only one. I'll make the sweet potato pies for the SC meet as well. Margaret
Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted October 2, 2007 Author #3 Posted October 2, 2007 It's like making an apple pie, maybe a little more tart than granny smith apples, but it is good. I put cinammon in it!:cool10:
Gary N. Posted October 2, 2007 #4 Posted October 2, 2007 Bobbie, that's my favourite pie. And I only get about one a year, in season, because I'm the only one in the house who likes them. They're good with strawberries too. Yum! Wish it wasn't so far to go.
gibvel Posted October 2, 2007 #5 Posted October 2, 2007 Oh Yeah!! I was going to say......Strawberry-Rhubarb pie now THAT'S a yummy pie!!!
Black Owl Posted October 2, 2007 #6 Posted October 2, 2007 Tried to bring some rhubarb root back from Canada a couple of weeks ago. When I told the customs gal that I had rhubarb root, you'd think I had just uttered a secret terrorist word. She had me pull the truck over and a few minutes later 3 customs agents swooped down on the truck. Unfortunately, the Customs agent really didn't seem to care that the rhubarb has been in the family for over 150 years and actually started out in Illinois. Seems that you can't bring anything into the country that will propagate. Oh well, such is life.........
Dano Posted October 2, 2007 #7 Posted October 2, 2007 I want some rhubarb pie, too!!!! My wife won't cook any of the good stuff (rhubarb pie, brats and sauerkraut, etc.), and I dearly miss my grandmas cookin'!:happy65: Dan
bongobobny Posted October 2, 2007 #8 Posted October 2, 2007 Gee, we just did our final harvest of rhubarb last week and I gave it to a gal at work (a Canadian, I might add) who makes a great pie...
Gary N. Posted October 2, 2007 #9 Posted October 2, 2007 Seems that you can't bring anything into the country that will propagate. Including long dead, cooked and canned beef. I don't know what all you folks are going to eat when you come to Canada next summer. Seems it's against the law for you to eat our beef and for us to eat Canadian beef in the U.S. But Rhubarb should should still be in season about when you get here.
Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted October 3, 2007 Author #10 Posted October 3, 2007 Unfortunately, rhubarb is so hard to find in the stores. I stopped by Kroger this morning to see if they had any more and alas, the three stalks I had left the other morning were gone too and no sign of rhubarb. How much trouble is it to grow, I wonder? Apparently, a lot of people just don't use it so it is not a "demand" item according to one produce manager! But there is always apple pie to take its place!:cool10:
mini-muffin Posted October 3, 2007 #11 Posted October 3, 2007 That's ok Bobbie I'm sure Jeff can just suffer with Apple pie. :rotf::rotf: Like that would be hard for him to do. Margaret
muffinman Posted October 3, 2007 #12 Posted October 3, 2007 Thats Ok Bobbie at least George got to try it. I will suffer with the apple pie and ice cream Jeff
Kregerdoodle Posted October 3, 2007 #13 Posted October 3, 2007 That sure sounds good, I havn`t had that sense my grandmother made it for me, she had a few big plants right side her back door, as kids we would just pick off a stalk and eat it... made some pretty funny faces too...
Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted October 3, 2007 Author #14 Posted October 3, 2007 Thats Ok Bobbie at least George got to try it. I will suffer with the apple pie and ice cream Jeff And he liked it!!!:cool10: What kind of ice cream with the pie? Most go for vanilla!
BEER30 Posted October 3, 2007 #15 Posted October 3, 2007 What kind of ice cream with the pie? Old Fashion , Home-made , hand cranked , rock salt and all ......Bannana Ice cream !!!!!!!! Gene
KiteSquid Posted October 3, 2007 #16 Posted October 3, 2007 I LOVE Rhubarb Pie. It is soooooo much better than Strawberry Rhubarb pie. My mother used to make Rhubarb sauce to put on ice cream!!!! Hot off the stove and on to vanilla ice cream!!!!! YUMMMMM!!!!!!!!! MrsSquid's favorite flavor for Ice Cream is Grape Nuts. Mine is Blackberry, and NOT the electronic device accidentally dropped into the machine either.....
