Throw away the rhubarb and eat the strawberries!
Full disclosure, I do like strawberry/rhubarb pie and jam. I'm just being silly.

(17,984 posts)A friend's roommate figured out that the enormous weed-looking thing in the back yard was actually rhubarb, and she wanted to try it out. I liked it but no one else did.
There is a creole restaurant in town that makes their own strawberry rhubarb preserves. Whenever I go, I take massive helpings of it.

(9,999 posts)I like strawberries and eat them often but I LOVE rhubarb and don't think that it needs anything else to change the taste. I load my pies with an overabundance of this delicious and unique fruit (?) Is it actually a fruit?

(63,221 posts)It's my favorite pie. I'm not even a big pie fan, but I'll take rhubarb pie any day. I also love to make rhubarb sauce and just eat it plain like applesauce or over ice cream. Or rhubarb crisp. Or anything with rhubarb in it!

(17,984 posts)It was three feet tall and at least as big across. It was a small tree! You could have eaten for a week on all that rhubarb!
On the other hand, I discovered some rhubarb growing in the backyard of the last house I owned. The plants were so tiny they were easily mistaken for weeds just sprouting. Poor little rhubarbs. I only found them after living there for an entire year!
