Celery sticks and chopped celery for pilafs, quiches, and turkey dressing were our primary uses for it. Sometimes, I'll chop some up for a pot of steamed vegetables. It's amazing how much I never think about celery being unknown, but I can see now it's on the obscure side. (Could be the flavor. :shudders: I ONLY like it IN stuff or with LOTS of cream cheese.)

Further amusement: the H, when I mentioned this to him, said he had no idea you could eat the stalks, but that he did know plenty of uses for the root. Which goes to show: a. not that obvious to know what the vegetable is for b. we can trade, I use the stalks, and I give him the root :=) :=) To be fair, the only use I know for the stalks was for broth and sauces.
