SC - Rhubarb as food reference

[Decker, Terry D.]

According to _Food in History_ (Tannahill, 1973), Rhubarb is of
Chinese origin.  It came west as a foodstuff via Arab and Rhadanite
Jew caravans (p.126).  She mentions it in a section describing the "new
walled city of Bhagdad" of the 8th century.

Not the world's greatest source, but a good suggestion.
