My mom used to make stuffed celery -- i.e. celery with a cold dip
spread in the groove -- for holidays. She had her own recipe and it's
apparently not in any of her cookbooks, and I'm trying to find a decent
substitute. I suspect it was something she picked up in the 50s or 60s
when she first started cooking for a family, so *someone* has to know
what the recipe was!
Thing is, I don't really know what was in it. I always thought there
was cream cheese, but I vaguely remember her telling me there was
pineapple in it, too. I was surprised because it didn't taste like
there was pineapple at all, so I've always assumed there was more than
just pineapple and cream cheese in the stuffing. It was just a unique
taste I can't figure out what else might be in it.
I've searched for a recipe with pineapple but haven't found anything,
except some with shrimp; I *know* wasn't in the stuffing. Anyone have
any ideas? I'm desperately needing food tht reminds me of mom this
Thanksgiving and I'm kind of obsessed with the celery idea.

Thanks,
Stacia

Salmon cream cheese works well. Buy a package of smoked salmon, mince it,
mix with cream cheese, and you're all set.

You're not giving anything to work with, other than the celery. Cream
cheese stuffing is okay but kind of blah. My favorite celery stuffing
is egg salad garnished with salmon caviar. Of course there's always
the old standby, peanut butter.

Sheldon

Here in Italy we use to eat filled celery as "Antipasto". We generally fill
it with a soft cheese (such as stracchino or crescenza), some herbs, salt
and pepper. If you like pineapple you can put inside, minced.

She may have used the little jars of Kraft stuff. There is a pineapple
cream cheese one. They also have in the refrigerated section with the
small tubs of soft cream cheese one with pineapple. I like to mix cream
cheese, grated any other cheese, fresh chives or green onion and any
dried herbs I happen to grab. It is never the same any time. Look for
recipes for cheese balls or logs. They are great to stuff celery with.
My brother in law like peanut butter stuffed celery, but not my cup of
tea. LOL

Oh! I remember looking for that for someone here. I don't think they
make it any longer.

How about that old classic, Pimiento Cheese? It is great stuffed in
celery.

Christine

When I was growing up (30+ years ago), we'd have one of three
variations on stuffed celery: the Kraft stuff, either the "Old English"
processed cheese stuff, or the blue cheese processed stuff, or peanut
butter.

I think Sheldon's idea sounds great (egg salad).

You can make some yourself :-) I use cream cheese (neufchatel?) and canned
crushed pineapple to taste. I've also added bleu cheese to this mixture and
it is divine!

I can't help you with the pineapple flavor, but my MIL used to stuff
celery with a mixture of cream cheese, blue cheese, and chopped pecans.

Yeah, I use blue cheese and top it with toasted hazelnuts.

Or cream cheese, srinkled with paprika.

And don't forget the classic Ants On A Log....put raisins on top of
your PB!

Pimiento can also be confused with pineapple. We used to eat the Kraft
pimiento cheese on celery. The OP mentioned that she never tasted the
pineapple. I suspect she heard pineapple when pimiento was said.
But maybe not.

Others have already responded as to the filling. I would suggest you
peel the celery lightly before you stuff it. Biting into stuffed
celery and getting a long stringy thing is a drag. -aem

LOL! That, too. It was always a tossup as to which ones she would use.
If she used the Roka Blue, it was always sprinkled with chopped pecans.

That's a good idea. Our local grocery stocks up on nice cheeses
during the holidays, I think I'll try this!

Oh wow, what a memory blast! We did occasionally get that Kraft
cheese-in-a-jar. I remember mom washing out those jars and using them
for juice glasses for me. Oh man, I had forgotten about that. Maybe
she did put it in celery, I'll have to buy some to find out... sounds
kind of gross though *laugh*

It's possible, but I don't know. When I asked mom what was in the
celery, I would have been at least a teen or older. And I definitely
remember telling her I was surprised because it didn't taste like
pineapple, and she said, "Well, it IS!" in a tone of voice I heard more
than once

Funny, I have a recipe for a delicious cheese ball or spread made with
pineapple and green pepper, the combination of which tastes to me
exactly as if it had sardine in it.

Oh, yeah! That's when I knew that it was really Thanksgiving day!
Kraft Neufschatel with pineapple. I imagine that any creamy cheese
with flavorful pineapple would do.

OMA!! Not you, too!!! Stringing (or de-stringing - I think they're the
same) is my task at Margaret's when she's throwing a bash. Never heard
of it before then. OTOH, I didn't come from a stuffed-celery kind of
home.

That's funny, just what I was thinking. I have no memory of this jarred
pineapple stuff because I didn't grow up with that kind of thing. If there
were people over, there was the bowl of fancy nuts, and I was forbidden
to take the brazil nuts. As it should be. No stuffed celery.

I looked for it in the supermarket yesterday, I didn't see any variety of
it.

So what's the implication then? That we were fancy pants for having
stuffed celery (ooh la la!) or that we were low-brow dullards for eating
jarred pineapple stuff? I'm trying to figure out the specifics of this
particular insult.

What??!!! You would be reading WAAAY too much into it if you thought
it was some negative reflection on your family. I'm looking for the stuff
so I could see what I was missing.

No insult meant in any way, shape or form, not even to my family.

I don't think I'd bother with the olive & pimiento cheese glop. I
bought a small jar yesterday because we've been talking about it and
it's worse than I remembered it. I'm thinking about doing some with
Small Child next week and I think we'll do something else -- dried
apricots or other dried fruit, mixed with some cream cheese comes to
mind. We'll make it up as we go.

Homemade is, of course, better. However, the jarred glop still has its
nostalgic place., at least for me.

Homemade is head and shoulders above anything you can find in those
jars. I will post the recipe I use for Pimiento Cheese in a
bit...after I get enough caffeine in my body.

As I walked around the store today I caught the Kraft stuff
just out of the corner of my eye ... it wasn't in the refrigerated
case. They had the pimiento, old English and ... some other
flavor. No pineapple.

Oh, I LOVE that glop. And the pineapple stuff, too.
