In May, when rhubarb ripens, London offers sweet-tooth holiday-goers a truly delicious seasonal treat—rhubarb and ginger crumble. This tart juicy green-reddish fruit pairs perfectly with ginger. Sugar is sometimes substituted with sweet cicely leaves which add a special piquancy to the delicacy. Flaked almonds also adorn this treat to make a truly classy English dessert.
