I love rhubarb- I'd gnaw on the stalks as a kid, it was like sour candy without the sweetness. Its best done simple: baked in a pie on its own with sugar or with another sweet fruit like cherries, strawberries, peaches... I'm lazy so I usually make a rhubarb/blueberry/strawberry crisp. If you make a strawberry - rhubarb prreserve you can put it on toast, have it with cheeses and put it on ice cream. Good stuff if its made right but you need a lot of sugar to tame the sourness.
