Sorry. So, what's all that obsession with Picolax? And you still haven't told me what it tastes like. Edit: And yes, it did.
As for the obsession... Well, a single remark from me led to you continually asking questions about it. I'm the obsessed one because I answer them? Mmm...

I didn't think or say it hinted at it, I was asking if it were, and you confirmed that it was a tradition, albeit a French one.

Originally posted by NordlysI ignored your first question. It was not worth answering because the highlight that Picolax provides is not in its taste (much like the fava bean in a King Cake).

You're starting to channel Very Rusty here.
Originally posted by PalynkaI guess you are referring to the laxative effects then. Weird to refer to that as a "highlight". And weird to use it in a comparison with a culinary highlight which obviously is about taste.

I know this will confirm you in your perception, but I was actually thinking the same about you.
Originally posted by Nordlys"'Obviously"? What a narrow view. Culinary art has long ago left the idea that it's all about taste. First, the visual and the olfactory senses were the first to be considered for stimulation. Now the culinary art world is moving to the next frontier.

Originally posted by PalynkaWell, have fun with the laxatives then. I'll rather continue to enjoy the delicious taste of rhubarb pudding without laxative effects.

Originally posted by NordlysIs it true that the leaves are toxic?
I didn't know that. I looked it up, apparently that goes mostly for the roots which are only used for medical purposes. I have eaten a LOT of rhubarb without noticing a laxative effect.
I'm going to plant some in the garden this year, so excited!
