[FOOD- Foodimentary]January 23: Today is..National Rhubarb Pie Day

Though this vegetable,indigenous to Asia, has poisonous leaves, the stalks make one heck of a pie.

A common slang term for rhubarb is the "pie plant."

The pies are often made with strawberries for the sweetness. I am not to fond of this tart pie, but if you are a fan...go have a slice today! I have also heard that the word rhubarb is a great code word for when traveling in groups and one gets separated. Just stand there shouting rhubarb, ignore the stares, until someone in your group finds you.
