Comments on: The First Rhubarb Of The Season https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/01/13/the-first-rhubarb-of-the-year/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 16 Jan 2016 16:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Su Mason https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/01/13/the-first-rhubarb-of-the-year/#comment-1072429 Sat, 16 Jan 2016 16:45:00 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=142304#comment-1072429 Lillie makes wonderful jam. Particularly the rhubarb. It’s my way of eating fruit. And her doughnuts are beyond compare. I had no idea she worked for St. John’s. Good training ground. And everyone knows Paul Gardner. I posted an Instagram of him yesterday and had so many comments. @sumasonlondon Thank you for your stories.

Are you against New Spitalfields? Like Wimbledon supporters are against MK Dons or something

Surely the whole idea of buying fruit in season is to eat it fresh? Jam making was traditionally done to preserve a glut of the fruit. This article appears to be selective in its nostalgia & basically a promotion for this woman’s business.

Well done for getting up so early to record the arrival of the rhubarb, while the rest of us were safely tucked up in the warm.

I’m afraid I just dribbled….I love rhubarb and ginger jam. I wonder if I could buy some on line? I live about 50 odd miles away from London although I’m a Londoner, born and bred.

I love your blog and I’ve set myself the task (which will be a most pleasurable one) to read from the very first one through to the most recent one! I’m so looking forward to it.

I love the young stuff red the stalks being a pencil thick. They are so tender and sweet can be nectar of the gods. There is an old saying Rhubarb-Rhubarb-Rhubarb not sure what this means? do you.
