The discovery that has always amazed me is that rhubarb is edible.
Wonderful stuff--but only if cooked with lots of sugar.  (NO, NO, don't 
flame me for saying SUGAR, I meant honey...crackle, sizzle....AEEEIIIII :-))  
And the leaves are poisonous.  One has to wonder at the nerve of that 
person.  (Maybe they were just very hungry?)
