Why do they ruin rhubarb pie by adding strawberry?

I love your answer, thanks!
I have to leave at the moment but I plan to come back to add more!

But I grew up eating raw rhubarb, picking it straight out from our neighbors' garden (with their permission).
:)

And I admit -- regardless of my tongue-in-cheek question, I love rhubarb pie so much that I do like strawberry rhubarb pie, too, ha.

Maybe that's everything I was going to say, I guess, at the moment, at least.

You ate raw rhubarb? It's so bitter/sour! 

My mom used to make rhubarb cobbler. No strawberries! I liked the cobbler, but I remember tasting it raw and it was terribly tart. I can remember the taste exactly! 

I like strawberry rhubarb, too. I do not like strawberry alone because I don't like that fake glazed stuff. 

I'm getting hungry now. I better just go to bed. 
Goodnight, friend. :)

I only now saw your reply here, a day later. :) And tonight, I'm about ready to go to bed.  :)

Yes, I know --  raw rhubarb!! You can picture this slightly-built very, very blond little boy in the neighbors' backyard small garden -- loving those little moments of eating such bitterness.  :) 

As an adult, I now think of how nice those neighbors were to allow me to eat their rhubarb. Even very young, I remember asking their permission if could eat more of it when they once offered me some of the raw rhubarb and I LOVED it at first bite.
I tell you -- I'm one in a million, ha.


SO tart but I loved it, ha! And in pie form it's so perfect to me. Adding sweetness to its tartness but the rhubarb's tartness still remains - - so great. It remains my hugely favorite kind of pie.

Yeah, I don't like strawberry-alone pie at all.

That sounds good -- eating rhubarb after dipping it in some sugar.
