I love celery... it's not a proper tuna salad without celery, chicken
stock must be made with celery, same as vegetable soup.... can't do
chinky cookery without celery. Celery is one of my favorite crudites,
great with all dips, and stuffed with cheese, and peanut butter. Often
a perfect snack is celery sticks and kosher salt for dipping.
