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.

Here too. I like it overall, but when they start sticking it in everything including cheeseburgers it gets seriously weird.

Disgusting, vile, horrid stuff raw. Bad texture, nasty taste -- what bigger turn-off could there be? But, cooked....celery adds flavor to many dishes.

I would categorize celery as 'a necessary evil.'

I do. Raw celery stalks and vinegar. Yum.

Likewise Cordelli. Though, I am happy to jump on the anti-Cilantro bandwagon.

I like celery, both raw and cooked.

I can eat it plain, in soups, in salads, or with dressing or sauce cradled in the stalk itself.

However, I do not like celery-flavored soda.

I have never tried it, but I would tend to believe that the diet version would be even worse.

Cheeseburger is one where I don't like celery to be included. Agreed that it is just weired.

Not a fan of Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray, but a BIG fan of celery....add some peanut butter, and you've got the perfect snack.
