I don't mind celery. In fact, I snack on it alone on a regular basis.

There's times where I simply feeling like eating something...anything, and as long as I'm chewing on something, I'm good. Therefore, plain celery (with no dips, sauce, or peanut butter) does the trick for that.

I also use celery on a regular basis and use it as a scoop for chicken salad. Celery adds a ton of flavor to tuna and chicken salad if you chop it up and it's extremely important for some soups.
 
Celery with peanut butter is alright, but that stuff is very difficult to eat. It gets caught in your teeth and stuff.
 
Celery by itself sucks, but celery and cream cheese (not ranch dressing, not blue cheese, not peanut butter, cream cheese) is great.
 
Celery is a great * delivery system. Peanut butter, dips, hummus, dips, tuna, and so on.
From what I understand, it also acts as a sponge for flavors around it, making it great for soups (as tscenter points out).
 
celery salt is necessary for hot dogs.

Otherwise, I could live with or without celery. I don't dislike it, but I don't particularly like it either.

Negative. Blue Cheese tastes like mold. I'll take ranch, but I generally stay away from cream dressings. Usually I use olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Btw, I like celery. I get on kicks with it. I'll buy a bunch, and eat the shit out of it. I then buy another bunch, and burnout on it before it's finished, and it goes on the compost pile. Also, some celery is better than others. I prefer celery that has a mild flavor for eating raw. Just a little bit of salt on it is good.

I don't really like those inferior white dressings either, I always mix my own balsamic + oil concoction together when it comes to salads...

but when dipping veggies as a side for hot wings or something, blue cheese dominates. yesiree.

I miss Chicago, sometimes. 🙁

I do use finally diced celery for my red sauce. Caramelize it, and it really helps to thicken and add substance, plus gives the red sauce that fresh, "gardeny" taste that is required.

yum.

Celery is also win in many soups (but not when it's abused)

truth.




the only thing celery is good for is flossing after eating wings.

oh and cajun food. but then it's so cooked down you can't taste it.


speaking of blue cheese dressing and louisiana, la martinque blue cheese vinaigrette is pure win

Having sliced up celery for years in a pizza shop (it's a side with wings), I've noticed that there appear to be different varieties of celery, just as there are so many varieties of apples. Some of them suck. Some of them... I'd end up chomping on celery half of the day. Some of it - very stringy, some, not stringy at all, but nice and crisp with actual flavor.
