Fruit salad is a breakfast dish now, not a dessert.

I have quite a lot of tinned rhubarb.......the 'Tesco British Rhubarb' is the best one I've tried
I have fresh rhubarb when it's in season but it isn't at the moment...... The fresh is out at the moment I have seen it in our local farm shop and in the supermarket. Pretty expensive though

Is it? I go to a lot of restaurants and I can honestly say i've not seen fruit salad on a menu for years.

I don't go to restaurants very often now unfortunately, apart from Christmas meals and they do tend to include a tropical fruit salad as an option so that is what I was going by.

I quite often make a bowl of fruit salad especially in the summer when the fruit is cheaper. I like to put mango and water melon in with the usual stuff.

One of my favourite things in Rome was the fresh fruit salads they had on most dessert menus in the restaurants.
I don't have tinned fruit salad much, but in the past I have liked it with a tsp of cocoa powder and then microwaved briefly so it's a bit melty. And fresh fruit salad of banana, grapes, raspberries, bloobs, drizzled with honey. |

I grow my own. It's really easy. It just comes up. I don't have to do much with it. I probably throw more away than I actually eat. It gets woody later in the year. I have three plants. I freeze a lot of it. In fact I'm still eating last year's from the freezer and looking out at rhubarb in the garden a week or three away from being ready. Yum.
Isn't it expensive in the shops? And it usually looks limp and a bit sorry for itself. I only started buying it again towards the end of the last season and it was about 2 quid for 3 stalks...........maybe it would be cheaper at the height of the season But I was pleasantly surprised by how good the Tesco own brand tinned rhubarb was.....certainly good enough to fill the gap between seasons |
