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

We love rhubarb too.
The fresh is out at the moment I have seen it in our local farm shop and in the supermarket.
Pretty expensive though

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'm not sure I want to go to a restaurant that offers that as a dessert.
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.

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.
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.

yes, when I lived up North we had rhubarb growing in the back garden........it was very common. We ate a lot of rhubarb !
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

Yes, it's always a treat in hotels if like me you can't have the cooked breakfast more than once or twice a week.
