I like celery too.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

Iceberg lettuce has a place- with tuna salad or bleu cheese. I also like cooked celery, and even cream of celery soup, but I do not care for fennel/anise.
I also am a weirdo, because I prefer most vegetables cooked or wilted, included lettuce (except the aforementioned iceberg with tuna salad), In general I just prefer warm food-- I used to nuke potato and macaroni salads because I just wanted them warm.

I love a really crisp crunchy piece of iceberg lettuce on a cheeseburger just off the grill.

I like iceberg lettuce on BLTs, where flaccid lettuce has no place, but I like it for the crunch, and the bacon and (good, summer) tomatoes already provide enough flavor to go around. I also like it on burgers and on tuna (probably on all sandwiches, now that I think about it).
