Urban legends about vegetables

[Barbara Hamel]

In a previous article, jf...@acpub.duke.edu (Joel Furr) says:

>I don't know what the toxin is in rhubarb or where it mostly resides,
>but a little bit is pretty tasty... (I seem to have inherited
>the taste for tangy and bitter foods...)

Next time you feel like a special treat, grab an old cookbook that
includes a recipe for Apple Crumble (sometimes called Brown Betty).
Substitute rhubarb for the apple and use a bit more sugar.

You'll love it, Joel. Sour and sweet and warming all at once.
