Oddbean new post about login | logout I still get excited when groceries arrive and when I tore the paper bag open I found… a single stick of celery that I did not order. Celery is the vegetable that all the other vegetables don’t want to invite round for dinner. It brings nothing to the table. Watery bastard. Celery and I have had a very distant relationship over the years. I know it’s part of the parsley family and parsley has such wonderful taste and brilliant presentation, but celery is the one vegetable that I have no interest in. The universe has a rather good sense of humour - if you let it.
Juicing Celery is soooo good for your gut!! It will cure what ales you.
You can't have Mirepoix without celery.
I don’t think I’ve ever had this 🥹 I suppose it’s good for something. Crunchy green water 😭
The entirety of French and most Italian cuisine would be in shambles without celery. 😅
Damn, 👀 I didn’t know it was so important 🤔 does it reaaaaaalllyyy add much flavour though? If we replaced it with fennel would it make a huge difference ? - genuine question 😂 I suck at cooking but I know you’re a chef 🙏🏽
It's surprising, but yes, it does actually make a difference and add that much flavor. If you replaced it with fennel, you would get an entirely different flavor. If I lived in the U.K., I would show you a side-by-side of a sauce made with a normal mixture, and then one with fennel, you would immediately taste the difference.
Although personally, I definitely agree with you that by itself celery is pretty meh. But in terms of cooking with other things as a whole, it's important.
I swear I learn so much on nostr - not always what I think I’m gonna learn about (celery being important after all 🤯) but I love it. Nostr, not celery.
I feel like I’m talking to ratatouille 🥹🫂 very cool. Huh, so I supposed cooked celery is rather important 🤔 raw celery is still rubbish though 😭. Aw man that actually sounds like so much fun 🔥🫂 someone should do a sauce tasting event here where you have to guess the ingredients- I would definitely go. I would fail, but it would be fun 🤩
I think it’s delicious 👀 If it’s a texture thing, maybe chopping it smaller will help? You could make mirepoix and have some French food If you reeeeally don’t want to eat it, you could put it in a pot with chicken bones and onion ends and simmer to make a broth…
Celery is my favorite vegetable. More for me? 🤝
I love celery when I’m hungry but don’t want to eat calories. It’s filling and satisfying 💜
Phil 💜🥹🫂 I’m glad someone loves it 🙏🏽🫂
You can send the celery to me 😊
Celery is great when used to make bolognese sauce, and where I come from it’s one of the main ingredients in a tomato soup called harira #FreeCelery 😅 https://tasteofmaroc.com/moroccan-harira-soup-recipe/

Nutritious. High in fibre. And my guineapigs love it!
Wish I loved it, it's soooo crunchy. But I hate it. I will occasionally eat it cooked in soups but I'm a child sometimes and pick around it 😂🤷♀️.
