Growing your own celery is a game changer. Most produce we get in the store is hopelessly bland.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Even Doctor Who doesn't like it, and he wore celery as a brooch for years.

cut celery into large chunks, put some olive oil, pop it into the oven and take it back when it starts to char and soft. mix it with mushroom saute (and stir fried beef if not vegetarian)

Then take the entire pot, and pour it's straight in the bin.

sure, if that is your thing

Rhubarb: now when you bit the water with hair in it, it tastes sour.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My sole reason for wanting to try rhubarb pie is because of people who've had rhubarb saying how sour it is. I fucking love sour stuff, and celery. So hells yeah I want some rhubarb. I never see it around here though 😬

Rhubarb pie is one of my favorite cakes. Try it if you get the chance!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

I want another slice of rhubarb tart.

Isn't rhubarb poisonous before cooking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

nope, just the leaves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Its the leaves that have a lot of oxalic acid, the stems are edible raw, just utterly unpalateable. Although if you have a miracle berry first it is apparently delicious - https://youtu.be/hgvRoCY0hNA?t=10m26s

Celery is delicious and I will die on that hill

Mmmm crunchy water.

Nature's dental floss!

Damnit I wish I had some good shit to flavor my stew with.

Glances at Mirepoix

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's really it, soup and stew. I opt for the celery root, toss it in a bag, call it a day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Also would make a killer white wine sauce for roast chicken.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

you can try my shower drain if you are so inclined

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But have you tried the crunchy water with peanut butter and rasians

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Best kindergarten snack ever!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The smell of raw celery makes me nauseous, especially when cut. Cooked in things I find the texture off-putting and tasteless, compounding the unwanted crunch added to something that shouldn't crunch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Cooked celery is not supposed to be crunchy. Grandma's recipe is cursed. I bet her broccoli is crunchy too, that's why it gets a bad rep.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Broccoli should be slightly crunchy. Overcooked broc is gross

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Overcooked yes, but crunchy veggies are gross. It's a real drama now where I live, all the veggies are under cooked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There’s undercooked, but also perfectly crunchy when cooked right. Matter of opinion, I like my broc with a nice crunch. But also eat raw broccoli, so

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Let's agree to disagree

That's the best I can do on internet given my handle

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't know how people eat it, it tastes so horrible

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You my friend are in a genetic minority. Sorry about that.

"Celery tastes like water" is somwthing people only say because they heard other people say it. It clearly does not

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I think we're back to the cucumber controversy. Or the mushroom one. Anyone being able to smell ants...?
