Rhubarb pie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rhubarb pie is a pie that is particularly popular in those areas where the rhubarb plant is commonly cultivated, including the British Isles and the New England region of the United States. Besides diced rhubarb, it almost always contains a large amount of sugar to balance the intense tartness of the plant.

In Canada and the United States Strawberry-rhubarb pie is a popular late-spring pie, generally combining the last rhubarb of the season with the first of the strawberries.

In the song "Rhubarb Pie" by the ska band Five Iron Frenzy, the singer laments his touring diet, which consists largely of Twinkies and potato chips, and wistfully recalls his mother's rhubarb pie.
