We are busy people and it’s our responsibility to focus all of our attention on the news. The important news. Strike updates. Recalls. New models. It’s key to the functioning of this place that we do not go on an hour+ tangent about vegetables.
I just hope, that when you read this hour-long tangent about vegetables, you acknowledge that I’m correct.
Ok, it starts off roughly on topic with this story from CTV News.
That could be a story, right?
This is a real thing Canadians do. Here’s a description from the Canadian Encyclopedia:
The Caesar, also known as the Bloody Caesar, is considered Canada’s national cocktail. The key ingredients are vodka, clam juice, tomato juice, spices and Worcestershire sauce. It is typically served in a highball glass rimmed with celery salt and garnished with a celery stalk, olives and lime. Food and beverage worker Walter Chell invented the Caesar in Calgary, Alberta, in 1969. Since then, the drink’s popularity and origin have made it a national cultural icon. Canadians drink more than 400 million Caesars annually. However, it has not achieved significant reach beyond Canada.
I mean…
Celery and peanut butter is great, and if you add raisins you’ve made popular American snack-time treat: Raisins on a Log!
Two things here. That image is from “Letterkenny,” which is the best show you’re not watching right now. They do an entire episode on caesars, which prompted a writer for Food & Wine to make and eat all of these concoctions.
Also, this is a PSA I’ve been meaning to write: Celery itself feels like it’s just a random vegetable that exists solely as a vehicle for dips and such. This is partially true, but this is often because massive chain supermarkets cut off or remove the celery greens. Celery greens are great, fragrant, and chopped up act like an herb that adds layers of subtle flavor to a dish. When you make chicken noodle soup I suggest you do as I do and reserve some of the celery greens for the end of the dish.
I feel like no one appreciated my thoughts on celery. Oh well. Here comes Mercedes:
That’s gross man. Both the celery and the Ceasar.
Celery is good for Tuna salad. Adds crunch to something that would otherwise be too soft. Also, Jason is correct. I fell in love with those celery log things with peanut butter when my daughter was small. Simple food but delicious.
The main purpose of celery is that it’s part of the “holy trinity” in Cajun/Creole food, along with onions and bell peppers. Also, French cuisine. It’s part of the base for a number of dishes.
However, celery, unless it’s being dipped into something made almost entirely of fat, is trash when raw. But let us not judge celery for that.
Jason loses Southern points for not mentioning pimiento cheese & celery.
Imagine calling this work, sounds like a blast. Or was that Adrian??
Did someone say air-dropped ranch?
