I have really only seen them up north and the only way I have seen it eaten was baked into a pie. The pies taste pretty good, because they are sweetened...however, I once tasted a piece raw and it was just fricking terrible. Very tart, if I remember right.

It’s red celery. Go get some spaghetti-o’s.

Some people use rhubarb so they have to strain less during bowel movements; this reduces pain from hemorrhoids or tears in the skin lining the anal canal (anal fissures).

My Aunt Ruthie made a badass rhubarb pie.
Totally bad arse. Incredible. Scrumptious.

"The password is.... rhubarb"
Funny, I know this quote, but I don't remember where it is from.
Anyone?

Google says it’s from a game show or something

No it's not. The part we eat is the stalk.
None of it is "poisonous" but the leaves have high levels of oxalic acid, which is technically poisonous but you'd have to eat about 15lbs of them to get a lethal dose. Spinach and brassicas (broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, etc.) also have oxalic acid in them.

Whole lotta stupid in this thread

I think it was started on the OT, so it's to be expected 
and to be fair, the rhubarb that grows down here isn't as sweet and won't develop that bright red stalk like you see in the stores, but it still grows quite well
In fact, it's almost impossible to kill a well established rhubarb plant.

I once had strawberry rhubarb pie in WA State. I didn't like it.

Here's a youtube from 1963 with Betty White
and here's one with Betty White and Lucille Ball in 1986
I was born in '64 and was about to graduate LaTech in '86!

Not really any harder to grow than any other vegetable, but availability since it's not a popular vegetable.
One year I grew round white eggplants in my garden and they produces very well. One day the wife and I were in the local Winn-Dixie and saw them in the produce section at over $6 a lb. while the more traditional eggplant were just over $1.50 a lb.
It's all about supply and demand. However, I will never understand why Rouses sells okra in the summer months for damn near $4 a lb. when it grows like crazy and produces tons of okra per plant. Plus the okra in the stores is old and wilted to the point of being ready to toss out.

Some stand up comedy from later 80s early 90s... been looking for it for years...

My dad was just griping about the same thing.. how okra is sold for so much when it’s so easy to grow.

Yeah, the average human could not eat enough to die from eating it, but oxalic acid is one of the key components in forming kidney stones and if you're prone to them like I am, it is not something you'd ever want to eat.
After having to deal with many kidney stones over the years, I would never eat rhubarb leaves in any proportion.
