| 499745 | 2006-11-16 11:15:00 | A post by Bruce evoked fond memories of Rhubarb delicacies, so I cast about for recipes (Read-me's for the stove) Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not being very helpful, giving this Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb! During radio programmes of the 1920s and 1930s, the background noise for crowd scenes was often achieved by a moderately large group of people mumbling "rhubarb" under their breath with random inflections. This was often parodied by Milligan, who would try to get the same effect with only three or four people. After some time, Secombe began throwing in "custard" during these scenes (For example in The Fear of Wages (goonshowscripts.afraid.org) and Wings Over Dagenham (goonshowscripts.afraid.org)). About 10 years after The Goon Show ceased production, Secombe, Eric Sykes and a host of other well-known comic actors made the short film Rhubarb (en.wikipedia.org) in which the entire script consisted of what Milligan called rhubarbs. Even with a coal range, this will take a power of cooking magic, well beyond my culinary threshold. Thinking that since a picture is worth a thousand words, Google Image Search should ease the strain. This (www.imagef1.net.nz) result is going to cause trouble with the vegetarians, plus a conservationist or two, and doesn't fit in too well with the recipes I've seen so far. Back to junkfood. |

| 499749 | 2006-11-16 11:48:00 | So much to learn, so little time; I thought they were pacifiers for the roolets. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 499750 | 2006-11-16 12:07:00 | No, the pacifiers are those red stalky things for them to chew on You didn't think we were going to eat that sour stuff, did you? |
