It’s winter so I find myself eating more soups and stews. They can be so good on a cold day.
But IMO celery tastes horrible and only subtracts from the flavor of soup by covering up other flavors. Why is it such a common ingredient? Do people actually like enjoy or is it serving some other purpose?
(Yes I avoid it in other foods too. Not to go off topic but water chestnuts are a fantastic substitute if you like the crunch. Try them instead of celery next time you make stuffing.)
I love celery and hate water chestnuts. Everyone’s different.
When I make soup my wife always tells me I put too much celery. I never feel like it’s enough.
I used to hate both, now I love them both. So not only are we different from each other but also from ourselves temporally.
