Post by: hubblebubbles on November 28, 2011, 16:21:40 PM
Takes so little to make me happy......Real celery in Migros 2.89. Just keep smelling it like it was  a bouquet of flowers. Soup tomorrow.

If you're making soup, why not use celeriac? It's on sale for almost the whole year in markets and supermarkets.

Hi Mavis, I make a lot of soups, today we had onion. We grow celery and celeriac down on the allotment But if you are not careful, celariac will over flavour your efforts. I'm with you girl, stick to the real thing.

Celery was used by the Victorians to clear the palate in between courses (and Queen Victoria was knowN to have 19 courses at some meals) There were special celery glasses placed down a long Victorian dinner table so the diners could help themselves.  There are Celery glasses that still survive today, they look a little like slim vases.

LOL Tinx, Nicks opinion on celery is that it should only be used to throw on the pitch!

Hi Mavis just to put my two penneyworth in - I too bought some and used in a stew.  Lots of Leaves though so googled it and was happy to see that you can either dry them and used as a herb or chop and freeze them for another day, which I did ;o)

If you chop up and boil the celariac on it's own for about 3 minutes, then drain it, this will remove the bitterness from it. ;)
