Oh yes, I have fond memories of rhubarb. 1st time I ate it was raw, cut fresh from Betty's garden. We were about 7 years old. Her mom used to give it to us and let us dip it in sugar. We'd sit in Betty's kitchen and eat a few stalks and then go out and compare our parts ...little boy/girl thing. I remember I loved her. This was while spending my summers in Frankfort, Ontario, Canada at my grandmom's farm. My grandmom also made a rhubarb souffle that I always liked....to put that into perspective, there's almost no food I've ever tried that I don't like.
Later as an adult, I've also eaten rhubarb pie which I like a lot. It's often combined with strawberries. If I stop at one of the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch restaurants west of Philadelphia and they have rhubarb pie, I almost always get it. And also their chicken/corn chowder with fresh baked biscuits.
