Wait do people actually not like celery? I eat it as a snack
“Celery tastes like water” is somwthing people only say because they heard other people say it. It clearly does not
I don’t know if I would call it spicy, been a long time since I had just celery though. But I am really sensitive to the taste of it.
Even if you chop it up small and cook it into something, for me it ruins a meal and gives it this horrible aftertaste. Probably best described as puke, that kinda acidic taste
Celery is peak, fight me
Rhubarb: now when you bit the water with hair in it, it tastes sour.
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 😬
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
You mentioning eating the stems raw made me think of it and instantly increased my saliva production. It’s not easily palatable, it’s intense, you’re right, but man is it good. I grew up on that stuff. Cracking that raw stem and munching it while doing gardening is a stimmy miracle
I don’t know how people eat it, it tastes so horrible
