Do you have a favorite way to eat celery? I go on a kick for it every once
in a while and I am on one now. Mainly I eat it plain or slice it into
green salads. Yes, I know I can stuff it with peanut butter or cheese.
That's okay, I guess. Not really my favorite.

Some years ago I searched for recipes. I now add it to my pot roast when I
make it, which isn't often. Of course I add it to soup. And I add it to my
hamburger gravy and sometimes casseroles.

I did get a recipe for Stilton soup that used it. I never tried it because
someone told me that Stilton was disgusting. And then after that I found
some Stilton soup online. It was indeed disgusting! So I won't be making
that.

How do you eat your celery?

it is so salty to me i have to eat something with it to cut that salty
taste, usually cream cheese, Lee

I know it is loaded with sodium but it doesn't taste salty to me. Hmmm...
Maybe my body is low in sodium. Angela and I have been sick and now my mom
seems to have it. We stayed away from her over the weekend because we
didn't want to spread our germs. But the bug is rampant around here.
Angela said a lot of kids were missing from school and I know a lot have
missed dance.

honestly its one of the few foods i can taste to see if i am really hungry.
if i want to eat but not sure what, or it seems like i shouldn't be hungry,
if i eat a chunck of celery, ... if it tastes like a salt lick i am not
hungry, if it tastes good i am hungry, lol, Lee

Interesting! I sometimes find that it smells like maple and tastes bitter.
When it is like this it makes my tongue go numb. I have since googled and
found that although it doesn't mention the maple and tongue numbing, if it
tastes bitter it wasn't grown properly.

I think I ate too much of it for dinner last night though because I had
stomach pains. I didn't sleep well. Kept waking up and thought I would
throw up. I never did though.

I love Stilton. In fact, I love virtually all blue cheeses.

Yum, my taste buds just went all a-tingle. That's my favorite salad,
except I like it best with butter lettuce.

I did not like the Stilton soup at all and neither did Angela or my husband.
It had the most vile aroma and texture to it. I didn't know it was a blue
cheese. I do not like blue cheese.

I like it just plain. I peel it, slice into sticks and put it in water in
the fridge. I don't like it unpeeled at all. To me it's bitter that way.

I don't peel mine but perhaps I should. At least if I'm going to eat as
much of them as I did last night. I think it's the fiber that gets me.

It's the only thing that you can die eating :-)
It takes more calories to eat than you get from it.
So I guess it's a diet food and exercise in one.
