I recorded Countryfile and have only just got round to watching it.
I did not realise that Japanese Knotweed could be eaten. *Apparently
it's a bit like rhubarb, except that it's the young stems which are
cut up, stewed and mixed with sugar.
Luckily, none growing near here but has anyone tried it?

Anything tastes good if you use _enough_ sugar

even rhubarb!

It is also known as Gypsy Rhubarb
