I actually prefer just plain rhubarb pie. I am not even much of a pie person, but I love Rhubarb pie, or any dessert w/ rhubarb in it. Sometimes I will just make a rhubarb sauce (like applesauce) and serve it over vanilla ice-cream and pound cake.

I really don't get the pairing at all. Good rhubarb pie by itself is amazing. Strawberries are mush in pie and taste better fresh.

My parents used to grow a small patch of rhubarb in their back yard. My mom would always know when my dad wanted her to bake a pie because she would find a pile of newly picked rhubarb on the kitchen counter.

..."a man of few words." Almost to the point of elective mutism. If my mom would ask him how he liked a meal she had prepared, he would nod. If she'd ask him what restaurant he would like to go to, he'd just shrug. Any birthday/ Mother's Day/ anniversary cards I ever saw from him to her were only signed, "Stan." Never, "Love, Stan." They were married for 63 years, and my mom says she could probably count on her fingers the number of times he told her, in words, that he loved her over those 6 decades. He preferred gestures like planning surprise vacations.

I've always wondered how he managed to put together enough words to propose to her -

I grew up with rhubarb plants in our yard and my mom's AWESOME! rhubarb pie, rhubarb crisp, and other rhubarb delights, including just going out to the rhubarb patch and grabbing a stalk and eating it.

Rhubarb is awesome.

It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I found out that there are human shitgobs who add strawberries because their shitty little unevolved palates can't handle the perfection of rhubarb without tainting it with sugars.

Assholes.

Rhubarb is to be eaten as is, not adulterated.

Mind you, I also LOVE strawberry pie and crisp and other strawberry delights. So I'm not anti-strawberry. I'm just anti- anyone who isn't intelligent enough to enjoy rhubarb. I can only say to you assholes, grow the fuck up and/or go to hell.
