Big time.I love eating a slice of rhubarb pie at my favorite pie restaurant up here in Alaska while looking out of the window at the very patch of large, curly leaves and red-green stalks from whence it came.If you’ve never visited Alaska and you want to taste something we northerners enjoy in the summertime, grow your own pie plant and whip up a special creation come spring, summer, or even fall, depending on your chosen variety.They’re all excellent, but we’d love to know: do you prefer sweet or tart rhubarb?
