Train assisted ride to Hampshire

As well as the hot, smelly, smoky, polluting (but wonderful!) unrebuilt West Country steam loco at Alton station, we also had ample time to study ALFI's efforts (Alton Local Food Initiative), one of which was this magnificent rhubarb crown. This led to a fascinating detailed description of rhubarb preparation and avoidance of possible pitfalls (thanks, Graham) - the general consensus was that rhubarb is best consumed in a crumble, accompanied by lashings of custard.
