I grew up eating the Rhubarb plant by tipping the root side (stem?) In sugar and just eating it like that. It's very sour like that, which as a kid I loved.

Same here - the sugar offsets the sourness just enough. Is it a Polish/Eastern European thing?

I don't think so, that's a thing in England too.

It's done in Ireland too, and I would assume anywhere rhubarb is grown, given it's the one of the most trivial ways to turn it into a treat.
