Rhubarb for dessert

'Forced' rhubarb doesn't sound very humane does it.  Grow rhubarb in complete darkness and the young shoots are very sweet, apparently.  Sounds similar to the production of veal and, seeing as I love  veal, I figureI'm going to like forced rhubarb.

Looked at few cool forcing pots in the green centre but decided to use an updsice down flower-pot instead 'cos I had a flower-pot and didn't fancy spending £40 on a 'forcer'.

Here's the results; the rhubarb uncovered; the harvest; ready for the oven; puréed; and the finished dessert.
