Every time I tell someone I hate celery, they look at me weird. Always telling me it tastes nothing. Well it does to me, and I hate it. Literally, I get gag reflexes every time I try to swallow a bite.

There's ways I can tolerate it, like in small pieces that I can smash with my tongue when it's in a soup, but if I have to bite into it or the piece is too big, I literally can't handle it.

The fact that my mom caught up on that and used it as a way to punish me as a kid by having me eat a foot of it didn't help.

EDIT: Damn it, wrong forum.

 

[Producer]

i dont like it either

 

[spindashing]

I think it's bland as hell. I can't eat it unless it's smothered in stuff.

Yeah. That is my probem with celery.

 

[finalflame]

I absolutely despise celery. Dipped in copious amounts of <insert delicious thing here>, though, it becomes tolerable. But only because its vile taste is drowned out.

 

[Majanew]

Dip it in Ranch dressing.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I really like celery.

It's nice if you can get a hot sauce or dip or, alternatively, peanut butter to put on it.

 

[ReConstructDead]

Celery and Parsley, two things I really can't stand.
Otherwise I'm open to most foods.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Celery is shit, no you're not alone.

 

[SubtleTea]

I mean like alone it does taste blend yeah, but it's also a ridiculously low amount of calories so it evens out. Dipped in hummus, or peanut butter or some other delicious substance it's pretty god tier though.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Celery is GOAT

 

[Dsyndrome]

It has next to no taste in my mind, and it goes well with wings when you want something to dip in the sauce after the wings are gone.

BY2K no le gusta nada el apio.

 

[SerTapTap]

Put some peanut butter on it, good stuff. I don't mind it myself, fairly flavorless alone but good to crunch on.

 

[Floridian]

Nope it's gross.

 

[entremet]

Celery is mean to be used as base for cooking stuff like soups, sauces, braised items, like a part of a mirepoix or the Cajun trinity.

There are some people who like it raw, but even then it's just a deilivery mechanism for peanut butter or blue cheese dressing.

You're not weird and you're not missing out much.

 

[brianjones]

i dont like thing

am i weird

 

[Phreaker]

Celery certainly doesn't taste like nothing, but it's okay. I was never one to eat a stalk with cream cheese or peanut butter or anything like that, but in dishes cooked it's okay.

 

[-griffy-]

I hate celery.

 

[Dennis]

No you are not.

Worst vegetable. Completely nasty flavour.

 

[cacildo]

every time i read the word "celery" i have to watch it again

 

[Shamdeo]

 

[PJV3]

I like it. And I don't eat it just because Peter North recommends it.

 

[Rocketz]

Nahhh, stuff is gross.

 

[ibyea]

Nope, not weird. It's bitter for me. Hate it.

 

[Zoolader]

Celery helps me project my jazz with the force of 1000 stampeding buffaloes.

 

[The Beard]

Ranch or Peanut Butter make it delicious. Especially PB.

 

[-MD-]

Celery by itself is gross, sliced up in a stir fry or cottage pie and it's amazing.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

OP celery sucks. In some countries people don't even eat the steam only the leaves. Celery taste like water = NOTHING

 

[entremet]

The best part of that picture is not the celery but the other things.

 

[Foxix Von]

Oh, it has flavor all right. It tastes god awful. I avoid it at all costs unless it's heavily cooked in with a stir fry or something and most of the flavor bled out. It's absolutely disgusting tasting and I literally cannot stomach the foul taste.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Great in big chunks in soups, great in small pieces in salads, great when grilled, great with peanut butter or some other "stuffing" on top.

You're doing it wrong.

[AmaterasuOkami076]

I think I've just been up for too long and I'm too tired, but I somehow read the thread title as "Am I weird for not liking the elderly?"

 

[Theecliff]

Celery and lemon humous &#128588;

 

[Ultimadrago]

Celery is shit.

Slightly less so drenched in ranch.

 

[Bacon]

I don't hate it but it's just boring as hell. Needs to be dipped or covered in something that actually tastes like something. Basically it's a delivery system for something better.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Celery is kind of useless. I guess I like it when dipped with other things like peanut butter or hummus. But I try to avoid cooking with it.

 

[Chanser]

Nice in soups.

 

[ZoltanXerxes]

Celery is terrible by itself, but served with a good dip, I can eat it all day.

 

[Mellahan]

Celery doesn't taste bad but I can't stand the amount of effort that goes into actually eating it. Like, you bite down and your teeth get caked in the stringy stuff. Then you have to pluck them out.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

How else am I going to stir my Bloody Mary?

 

[3phemeral]

No to raisins. Celery is perfect with just peanut butter, thank you.

Celery is great for soups, for stir fry, and for fried-rice dishes. I tried it in a healthy green-inspired drink, however, and even that smallest inclusion of celery made the whole thing taste like it.

 

[darkness_s]

I didn't know people thought celery has no taste. To me it has a taste, and that taste is awful.

 

[davepoobond]

I am 50/50 on it. I don't like chewy celery, I like the crisp easy to eat celery. The thought of those immaleable strands of celery scraping the insides of my body and moving through my bowels is more unsettling than taco bell

 

[OminoMichelin]

I find the flavour to strong when raw. Ruins every salad it is put in.
In a soup? Yes, please.

 

[LyleLanley]

There are people who are anything but indifferent to celery?

 

[BY2K]

Great in big chunks in soups, great in small pieces in salads, great when grilled, great with peanut butter or some other "stuffing" on top.

You're doing it wrong.

Why would you grill celery? What purpose does it serve!?

 

[rexor0717]

No, because its terrible.

 

[XenodudeX]

Easily the worst vegetable. I question it's existence every day.

How else am I going to stir my Bloody Mary?

How to stir bloody Mary:

1. Take out celery stick and burn it.

2. Use finger or spoon( you know that tool primarily used to stir up shit?)

Done!

 

[OminoMichelin]

Why would you grill celery? What purpose does it serve!?

Tastes better?

 

[styl3s]

Celery is the bullest of shits when it comes to vegetables and by far the most bland and unappealing and it's not even that great with peanut butter or ranch, i would rather have an apple with peanut butter or literally any other vegetable with ranch. I mean have you ever had cucumber with ranch? carrots with ranch? broccoli?

I hate celery so much i will spend the 10 minutes picking it out of soup if it's served with it because celery needs to go home and never show its ugly face again.
