I would assume that this plant is edible, and judging from Richard's song entitled as such, I would also assume that it tastes pretty good, too. Can anyone tell me anything more about donkey rhubarb?

Reynoutria japonica :- AKA - Japanese Knotweed or Donkey Rhubarb. Forms thickets of stout, rather zig-zag, red-brown stems up to nearly 6 feet (2 m) high, with broad pointed leaves straight at the base. Flowers white and feathery. Many of us know it as Donkey Rhubarb - presumably because one would be a donkey to attempt to eat these rhubarb-like stems. Also known as Polygonum cuspidatum. A very aggressive invader of disturbed and shaded habitats.

Eh? My mum makes rhubarb pie all the time.. The leaves are poisonous but the stems are not? That's sort of odd.

I don't know what kind of rhubarb it is, my mom and I yank it out of the soil at the edge of a glade near our house... Big bristly leaves with thick stems... Bright pink at the bottom(that's the edible part).

It's good fun to cut down, I used to do it with a massive scythe type thing when I was a gardener. An old guy I was talking to about it used to have to cut it down when he was a prisoner of war held by the japanese.
Anyway, the reason I bumped this:
I've just been listening to the Donkey Rhubarb EP and I'd forgotten how good it is. Donkey Rhubarb is mental, Icct Hedral Orchestration is scary, Pancake Lizard is very ICBYD. Vaz Deferenz sounds like it belongs on the Caustic Window compilation.

thats not possible,
MY grandma makes the best rhubarb cake EVER EVER EVER
its really sour and you can only eat it with a lot of "sahne" (you know that stirred-milk-stuff-i-dont-know-in-english)
its the combination that uplifts you like a child
and thats basically whats the song is all about, bad beats and cheezy melody :)
im getting hungry

thers nothing like the taste of rhubarb. sour yet incredably up`lifting. healthy as fuck and great with custard. Nothing beats my grans rhubarb crumble or try it with rice pudding on a cold winters evening.... delicious.
