What is long and thin,
Covered in skin...
Red in parts,
And goes in tarts?
Mine is best when it's red hot and smothered in creamy custard and i'm sure many of you would very much enjoy chomping on it if only you'd give it a try...those of you who haven't already, that is.
As for tarts, any foole knows that they should always be a forbidden, tasty treat...mouth-watering and tempting, sticky and deliciously alluring. You may also pour your custard all over them too, of course, or a nice, healthy squirt of cream, the choice is yours.
Perhaps you prefer your tarts totally naked of any fancy finery, i can assure you that there is still a great deal to satisfy even the wildest hunger in a homely, unadorned example of Mr Pastry's wayward daughters.
Little Jack Horner preferred to simply go for it -like a bull in a china shop- and insert a thumb, so ravenous was he for the succulent, sweet little dish lying before him but upon pulling out his plums, he surely can't have been serious when he quoth what a good little boy am i!
He would undoubtedly have known that the answer to the riddle is, obviously, rhubarb.
