This bread was pretty good. I wish there was more of a rhubarb taste and I think next time I will not dice it but cube the pieces to retain more of the flavor. The walnuts seemed to overwhelm the rhubarb. I'm glad you have edited the recipe to include the sour milk too. It is very moist and light in texture. Will try this again for larger chunks of the rhubarb and see if that does not help the flavor. Made for Photo Forum Flour Challenge Apr 08
