Celery is bitter and the stringy texture is gross.

You can scoop peanut butter into your mouth with a spoon. Neither the spoon nor the celery are edible, but the spoon can be reused.

I don't want it to be Monday.

What she said. Humanity must have been desperate when it decided building material was food. They're even called ribs.

Always a good plan. My love for peanut butter is neverending. My mother expressed concerns to the doctor about my peanut butter consumption levels when I was a toddler. He told her it was fine. I've been reading the Stephanie Plum series and she is constantly eating peanut butter sandwiches, with potato chips, olives, marshmallow fluff, plain. Each time her eating peanut butter is mentioned I want some. I am so suggestable.

How interesting! I get no bitterness whatsoever from celery, I'd even describe it as sweet.

I like celery too.

Celery has evil anise flavor. I can't stand it in anything.

Fennel has an anise flavor (and looks like celery), but I have never noticed an anise flavor in celery.

I like celery plain with just a little salt, or as a cream cheese delivery system. I also like it cooked in chicken soup, use it when I'm making stock, and this one chicken dish I make. I will take Beverly's cooked celery.

I love peanut butter, but I do not like putting it on things like celery and apples. I put it on bread and on chocolate, or bake it into cookies, as God intended.

You may have my cooked celery, Cindy. I pick out the solids, once the dish is finished. Cooked celery "solids" are...um. Off-putting. The flavor, though, is wonderful. We do the same with onion solids. H either purees onion before he adds it to things--actually I prefer he halves the onion if possible and then removes the solids from my serving. I react horribly to onion solids, though I can get away with foods flavored with onion. Celery doesn't provoke a physical reaction but it's still very unpleasant cooked.

I don't particularly mind celery, but iceberg lettuce is a styrofoam abomination, and should be banished.

Agreed.

At last, an opinion that brings us all together.
