The recommended way of cropping rhubarb is to place one's thumb in the 'pocket' at the base of a leaf and snap the leaf off with a deft downward motion. You then cut off the poisonous leaf which can be composted before taking the stem in for a wash and cooking.
One of my plants is growing so vigorously this year that the base of some leaves are almost three inches across. Deft snap??? I have to use both hands, brace my feet and hang on for dear life. All you can see of my is my fat arse stuck out between the leaves!
I have an highly aromatic red hot rhubarb and ginger crumble cooling in my kitchen. I use Delia's recipe but use stem ginger rather than powdered.
