Responses:

rhubarb crisp (like an apple crisp but with...you know...rhubarb) -- nm - oblique Jun 8, 12:52
Use it with some orange, or other fruit jam to make a glaze for chicken -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 12:40
use it like you would a strawberry, but more sugar and a LOT more cooking to break down the fiber -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:33 7
- I use strawberries for fresh eating (got our first of the season from the farm this week too, so good). Not recommended for rhubarb, apparently :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:35 6
  - i liked eating raw rubarb as a kid.. it was pretty tangy.. but i can see how it might not be great :) -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:36 3
    - I was saying that because I read they were toxic, but apparently that’s just the leaves. :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:38 2
      - might not want to eat those -- nm - decline Jun 8, 12:40 1
        
        Fortunately they just sent the stalks. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:45
  - when i was a kid we dipped the end of rhubarb in white sugar and ate it raw. I mean, you should at least try that! :) -- nm* - Andie Jun 8, 12:36 1
    - i think that's the key. great flavor, the plant just forgot the sugar part of it. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:38
Also might give this a try -- (link) - znufrii Jun 8, 12:32
I LOVE this rhubarb cake. It's really the only reason i grow rhubarb. -- (link) - Andie Jun 8, 12:25 2
- I’m intrigued by this idea. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:31
- I'm pretty sure rhubarb plants will survive the heat death of the universe. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 12:29
strawberry rhubarb pie! -- nm - decline Jun 8, 12:23 10
- Or strawberry rhubarb crisp or strawberry rhubarb cobbler or strawberry rhubarb bars... mmmmm... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 13:03
- This is the correct answer. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 8, 12:40
- This is my wife’s favorite pie. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 12:37
- When I was a kid and first heard of strawberry rhubarb pie I thought it was a joke. - zunk xometimes Jun 8, 12:34
- I have a vague memory of not liking it and/or being allergic as a kid, so have never tried it since. - znufrii Jun 8, 12:31
- my vote as well. My aunt would make one special for me at holidays -- nm - Pippy Jun 8, 12:30 3
  - i can honestly say that I am not sure I have every had strawberry rhubarb pie. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 12:30 2
    - 99% sure that I have never had rhubarb in any form ever. -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 12:34 1
      - Never rub another man's rhubarb. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 8, 12:45
- 100% totally yummy -- nm - prayformojo Jun 8, 12:28
And the garlic scapes look particularly aggressive this year. -- nm - znufrii Jun 8, 12:23
pie. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 12:23
