Raw vs cooked

1. the above mentioned libation

Cooked it is a very different story.
1. it is part of the holy trinity of cooking along with onion and garlic as the basis for many dishes including my own highly acclaimed tomato sauce for pasta.
2. it has a nice flavor and texture when cooked and tends to add flavor.]
3. celery salt if very nice in certain dishes
4. celery seed is used from time to time in what I can not remember.

you will never see me reaching for raw celery unless there really is NOTHING else to eat at all.
