Rhubarb Tart Welsh Tarten Riwbob
Rhubarb tart, known in Welsh as "tarten riwbob," is a traditional dessert deeply rooted in the culture of Wales. This pie combines the tartness of rhubarb with a delicate pastry, achieving a perfect balance between sweet and sour. In other Latin American countries, although rhubarb is not as common, it is prepared with similar fruits like apples or plums and is simply known as fruit tart or mixed fruit pie. The Welsh tradition of making pies with a base and a top crust has been passed down through generations and has been adapted with the fruits available in each region, making this type of pie a culinary icon that reflects seasonal availability and home ingenuity.
In Wales, these pies are not only a dessert but also an expression of welcome and hospitality, known by the phrase "Croeso Cymreig," which means "Welsh welcome." Rhubarb tart is especially popular in the spring and summer seasons when rhubarb is at its best.
