Why is that celery pink?

...or, what the hell is rhubarb? You eat it? Why? How? 

When we left the south and moved to Everett there was a patch of this pink "growth" in our back yard right up against the fence. I didn't have a clue and since I was a kid I tried to remove it. Mother said no! I'll make a pie. OK, I like pie. Not this time, rhubarb the cat may have been funny, but rhubarb the pie was simply over the top treacle! Sweet, cloying, gelatinous...awful! Sometime later I was told that it mixed well with strawberries...another of my favorites. So my question remains the same...WHY?
