April 25th : RHUBARB PIE
The homelyand some what unpoetical appellation of this pie has been refined into “Spring tart.”
“A rose by any other name will smell as sweet;"
but really the association of ideas connected with pulvis rhei is anything but appetitizing. Spring tart be it then; and let me recommend, as a vast improvement to its flavour, that a table-spoonful of green lime juice be poured over the stalks before the crust is put on.
In default of this, squeeze the juice of a lemon, and that of a Seville orange.
