Interesting Food - Rhubarb

Rhubarb, that classic fruit dreaded by English schoolchildren, was introduced to Britain from Siberia.

(Actually rhubarb is an interesting word too: Actors with a ‘non-speaking’ role might be asked to ‘pretend’ to be speaking, in order to get a natural feeling. Traditionally, this involved saying ‘rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb’.)
