Rhubarb pie. What the hell is rhubarb and who would want to put it in a pie?
Mincemeat pie also sounded gross. Just what kind of meat were they putting in it, anyway?
Here's a picture of Rhubarb (the red stems are used in pie)
AND very, very, SCARY

I'll take your rhubarb pie...I love the stuff.
We had rhubarb plants in our backyard when I was little. Most of it never ended up in pies...we'd eat the stalks dipped in sugar, just like that.

Dude, I forgot about Rhubarb pie, that was some nasty stuff. Mincemeat pie was a close second. To this day I wonder who the hell eats, and enjoys this stuff?
