put enough salt on and you won't be able to tell the difference

I can't believe what I'm reading! Raw celery is delicious and refreshing, as long as you have floss on hand. Ants on a log, anyone?

A serving of boeuf tartare for M. Hanle y!

eat raw like sishi

No, it causes you to grow hair on the back.

Fresh like Gucci
Raw like sushi...

Celery is fine. Mushrooms, on the other hand, despite being prevalent in their raw state in salad bars, are better off cooked, to destroy toxins. (As is eggplant, too, but nobody's eating eggplant raw.)

of course you moran!

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 8 November 2003 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, of course, surprised you had to ask, usw.

is there truth in the idea that you can lose weight by eating raw celery as the energy you expend chewing it is much greater than the nutritional value of eating it? Several ppl have told me this, but maybe its an urban myth. Or a rural myth, seeing as most celery is grown in rural areas I think.

Yes it is true Mark: http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/celery.asp

I misread this just now, thinking this was just another meta-meta-thread, "celery without cookies." And of course, the answer to that would be, no. ALways eat celery with cookies. But don't the Brits say celeriac or some nonsense like that? I mean, some alternative, probably orignal and therefore more nearly correct, and yet, somehow kind of weird and prissy, sort of way? Or no.

― Skottie, Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Celeriac is something else completely. Go to www.celeriac.com (it has it's own website?!??!)

(Obv that apostrophe wasn't meant to be there)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

celeriac sounds as if it should mean someone who is addicted to celery.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I sit corrected. Angry and bitter, and naturally defensive, but corrected. Thanks ailsa! That website is great by the way. Somekind of computer consultancy naming itself after the vegetable because it's ugly yet tastes good. No wonder the Internet crashed and burned!

WHO THE FUCK COOKS CELERY?!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, way to ruin everything that's good about it...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

no, it's nice cooked as well

BUT the water it is cooked in, if allowed by ~~slobbiness~~ accident to stand overnight, ABSOLUTELY STINKS

IS smoked salmon ok to eat without cooking???

You can make nice soup with celery, mmmm....celery and stilton soup is my favourite home-made soup at the moment.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 November 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i saw a friend eat it dipped in worcestershire sauce once. he was on drugs at the time, though. but he eats everything, even when he isn't.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 8 November 2003 19:38 (twenty-two years ago)

It's only my favourite home-made soup at the moment because it's the last one I made. Tonight I am going to make parsnip and apple soup.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 November 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm can I come to your house for tea tonight?

Personally I hate celery. Raw I can just eat, but cooked I can't stand, and the worst thing is it makes everything else taste of celery.

― celeste (Celeste), Saturday, 8 November 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

Elsewhere I have just seen celery referred to as "Nature's buttbrush."

No wonder you have to cook it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 02:57 (twenty years ago)

Let it also be known that the idea of Hanle y Deus asking in desperation about feral hamster makes me so happy.

Surely I'm not the only one who enjoys celery sticks spread with peanut-butter

― Seuss, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

no you're not seuss. i like celery and peanut butter together in a wholemeal roll

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

Celery is wot makes V8 juice so deliciously salty-tangy.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 05:08 (twenty years ago)

that's the difference between wrong and right

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

Like I need another reason to hate peanut butter.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 06:15 (twenty years ago)

I hate celery too, and I thought the two of them together would be the worst possible culinary image i would ever have. It just got worse.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 06:29 (twenty years ago)

Celery and pancetta risotto is one of my favourites. You chop up the leaves and stir them in at the end. I think I made it for Alba and Porky once, long ago (although Alba had the pig-free version). Also, a bloody mary without celery salt is just not quite right.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

I have to agree with that.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 06:54 (twenty years ago)

"Ooh La La" ?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 09:10 (twenty years ago)

four years pass...

man who decided that celery was a good thing to put into smoothies?

NO ONE

― gabourey voltaire (Stevie D), Tuesday, 16 March 2010 12:12 (fifteen years ago)

Maybe you're thinking about soup?

Did it have croutons?

― We should have called Suzie and Bobby (NickB), Tuesday, 16 March 2010 12:13 (fifteen years ago)

I just finished a 'carrot celery apple juice' smoothie so nay

― but actually it is impossible to have a penis on the body of a mermaid (dyao), Tuesday, 16 March 2010 12:16 (fifteen years ago)

I think that sounds good!

― quincie, Tuesday, 16 March 2010 18:50 (fifteen years ago)

Get rid of the apple and add tomato and I'd drink that right down.

― ABBAcab (Trayce), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 00:43 (fifteen years ago)

I'm on board w/ Tryace. Maybe some spices of some sort.

― probably a sock!! (╓abies), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 01:21 (fifteen years ago)

Nah skip that I'll have a bloody mary instead.

i'm about to eat some raw celery right now -- so, so good

― funky house septics, let me drain you of this (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 01:23 (fifteen years ago)

Celery is the most disgusting vegetable. Fact.

― t(o_o)t (ENBB), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 02:21 (fifteen years ago)

I wish I liked it, but it tastes bad and gets stuck between my teeth.

i'm gonna rep for celery; also did u know that it TAKES AS MUCH CALORIES TO EAT IT AS IT GIVES U IN CALORIES o my god miracle food
