Yeah! I would put maple syrup in the same category, but I’m not sure.

Well, it doesn’t spoil but it does crystalize so can you just add water to make it a liquid again? I don’t use honey so I have no idea.

Don’t ever put water in honey! You just heat it if it crystalizes to make it run again 😀

I disagree on the lettuce thing. I’ve never seen cucumbers sold in any other form than fresh either.

Bananas can be sold dried, and the other fruits you mentioned can be canned, ski (I think).

What about the one food that never expires, doesn’t need to go in the frigde either?

Silly Dragonmedley, what do you think pickles are made of? *teasing grin*

I did pretty poorly at that, I must say. But I learned a lot! 😆

I like this kind of topic, it’s fun. I got 4 1/2 of those right. 1/2 because I didn’t know about asparagus (I don’t eat it), but I have rhubarb growing in my back yard. 🙂

We used to have rhubarb growing in our backyard when we lived up north. Can’t grow it here and most stores in our area don’t carry it. 🙁 Tried buying frozen but it was pretty much tasteless and tough 😛

Just unmarinated pickles, why? 😛

Growing up, that’s what my mom called them; cucumbers were another thing for us. Plus the word “pickle” tells it all, really, whereas in French (my first language), the name is not so descriptive (cornichon). Hence why I didn’t think of them as the same thing…

Why can’t you grow it there? I really don’t know much about the conditions it should have, but it grows wonderfully in compost according to my mom. If it can survive god-awful MN summers being baked in the sun, I would think it might be okay down there. I didn’t do anything to get mine though… when I bought this house, it came with rhubarb, 2 apple trees, a pear tree, and some sort of smelly onion already well-established.

Cherry tomatoes are also perennials – once you plant them you almost can’t ever get rid of them.

From what I understand rhubarb requires temperatures below 40­ F to break dormancy and to stimulate spring growth and summer temperatures averaging less than 75­ F for vigorous vegetative growth.

We get temps that cold but not for long enough and the heat kills it off in the summer. I tried growing some as an annual one year but it came up small and bitter. Guess I’ll just have to visit my family in the Spring (central MI) and bring plenty home 😆

I love Cherry tomatoes, as opposed to grape tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are actually a self seeding annual.
sounds like yours are like kudzu, Plotting to take over the world 😉
