There are dozens of us, literally dozens! But yeah I’m with you and OP, celery is foul, deeply offensive stuff. Cilantro too, but my hatred is reserved for celery. I’ve been told it’s genetic or something but frankly none of that matters when one hates celery as much as I do.
Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock?

I’m with you - celery is horrid. Right up there with coriander for me as something that completely overpowers and ruins anything it’s used in.

It’s my opinion that celery is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.
If you get very deep green celery, it’s horrid.
If you get light green celery, or you peel off the outer deep green fibers, it’s delicious again!
And the young leaves are absolutely sweet and delicious as all get-out.
But yeah I could see why a lot of people dislike it.

I hate celery but love cilantro.
Weirdly, after I had covid cilantro tasted like perfume and I couldn’t stand it. I was very worried that it would forever be a ruined flavor, because it does definitely overpower food. Thankfully it’s gone back to normal lol

celery naturally accumulates produces nitrates, could be where the taste is coming from.

Do you mean the leaves, AKA cilantro? Do you have that gene?
