This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Rhubarb was basically a weed around where I grew up. Yes, sour as hell but delicious! Sweeten it up and turn it into a sauce or pie - to die for. I've seen it in the store around here, but never get it cuz it's crazy expensive. You should definitely try it if you get the chance.
Apple rhubarb pie might be my favorite pie
I'm from the Midwest and it's pretty crazy to read that rhubarb is expensive lol. Everyone in my family has at least one plant and people are always happy to give you a cutting if you want more. They grow easily and are hard to kill even if you try to do it.
Peel the rhubarb and dip it in a bit of sugar.
That + eating a bunch of other berries brings back the memories from visiting the relatives in the countryside in summer
That's how we eat it in Belgium every summer. You can also make pie with it.
My dad showed me to eat it salted! Really accentuates the extreme sour
