Okay. Get some cream cheese (i.e Philadelphia). Spread it in the middle of the stick and start munching.

If you're really adventurous spread some sweet chilli sauce on top.

Presumably only if you eat nothing else but half a ton of the crappy thing? Using it for stock is fine, I do that but I do not want to see it in chunks in meal, it's just a filler and a cheap and nasty one at that.:D

We have stacks of celery growing (its easy). Celery soup is the obvious choice but I still find it best stuck in the middle of my Bloody Mary.... :)

I don't agree but depends what you cook it with. Chopped up small with chopped onions and chopped green bell peppers (sweet peppers) is the base for many cajun dishes - IMHO a very fine cuisine.

I agree, we often have it in a stir fry - too often people overcook and loose the flavour.

Just be carefull eating it as it is a well known a aphrodisiac.
Especially raw or just blanched.

Chinese celery salad:

Chop some celery into 2-3cm pieces, blanch it, rinse with cold water.

Get a cup of raw peanuts and boil them until soft, strain and rinse.

Mix celery and peanuts, a dash of soy souce, sprinkle of chilli and a few drops of sezamy oil.

Mix and serve.

It'd be better without the celery though.

Anyone any ideas!!!

Paula

try putting cheese down the middle of the celery stick, very tasty

Is that sezamy as in "OPEN SEZAMY!!"?


Apparently, and I'm loathe to navigate this thread down a smutty passage . . . but apparently, celery is very good for increasing the quantity of the male . . . erm . . . ejaculate . . . there I've said it.

The fun starts here when I finish work and have to go home.
