I shall vow to have it more! When is it in season Cherry?

I love rhubarb fool. Puree some rhubarb with a dash of icing sugar, good quality cold custard and fresh cream (or creme frache or natural yoghurt). serve chilled.

That sounds lovely oldspice. I will have to try it when I get some rhubarb.

Does anyone know when it is in season?

Rhubarb needs cold weather to trigger growth. I get my first crop of rhubarb around Easter and it keeps growing until late summer. It does get damaged by frost though so you have to take care of it.

Thanks Cherry.

I can recommend Morrisons Rhubarb yoghurt, quite thick but nice and the fruit is chunky, especially as they only cost 95p for 5!

Thanks for the tip. Have you tried the activia ones?

Yes but they didn't make me feel less bloated

You have to give it 14 days

The raspberry ones are something else

And don't forget you have to eat them every day for them to work! That advert always makes me laugh - it's so unrealistic.
