[...] 7. Aoife (aka The Daily Spud) took a minimalist approach and voilà, a vegetable that comes with its own initial. All quite self-contained, see? [...]

[The views expressed in this comment do not reflect the views of The Daily Spud but, hey, we believe in freedom of expression for celery lovers and haters alike - ed.]

We at the League for the Suppression of Celery ask that you cease and desist your shameless promotion of the Devil's Vegetable. Apparently you have not fully realized the little-told dangers of this agricultural abomination. There is a vast conspiracy afoot to keep the truth unheard, but we beg you to educate yourself and help stop the madness before it's too late.

Stacey: ah, those ants on a log again… :)

gastroanthropologist: I am now going to have to try ants-on-a-log, both the peanut butter and cream cheese versions!

Chef Bliss: thanks!

Chef E: …or thinking out of the refrigerator drawer, as it were :)

Duo Dishes: it’s all about being green!

Reeni: thanks, celery has a voice now, lol

I love it! You let the celery ‘speak’ for itself! Very clever.

I agree with my friend Greg…even though ‘minimalist’ you have truly thought out of the box! ‘C’ongratulations!

Like many of your readers I love ants-on-a-log… I know many europeans don’t understand the american obsession with peanut butter, so this is delicious with cream cheese instead of peanut butter to.

Other Tiger: that apple-celery sorbet sounds positively intriguing!

Jenni: it’s noble stuff alright

Greg: thanks kind sir, and as I said on your own blog, I salute you for your rockin’ tribute to mirepoix, guaranteed to have them rolling in the aisles!

OysterCulture: love it! you realise that I am going to have to try some ants on a log now :)

Heather: I love celery for exactly those refreshing and crunchy reasons

noble pig: yeah, nuff said (though the sorbet idea mentioned by The Other Tiger warrants a look)

Tangled Noodle: thanks – would you belive I almost used “A Sea of C’s” as a caption on the second photo, but didn’t in the end (guess I was letting the food do the talking, though, having seen Greg’s video, I have a whole new vision in my head of food talking!)

gaga: welcome! it’s a good veg to have stocked in the fridge alright

Natasha: thanks!

Sophie: thanks & it’s always good to have some celery around if soups or stew are on the menu :)

Lori: thanks – it was a great challenge and I’m looking forward to seeing the full round up

zerrin: not all of our celery is so green, a lot of the time, the stuff we get here is quite pale, but sometimes I get celery with my organic veg delivery and it’s usually greener (and tastier!). As for Homer, you have one up on me in that you’ve read those classics. The reference to wild celery I believe uses the Greek word selinon.
