Who’s defining low and high here?
Magnetar looking at every voltage that’s ever occurred on Earth: Aw, that’s cute.

Sure, I’m familiar with mirepoix and I know my capabilities in a kitchen.
I’m asking why practically every soup recipe or chef or manufacturer includes it. Before this thread I didn’t think anyone had a better-than-neutral opinion of celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I find a bit of soy sauce works well if a soup needs more umami.
Yep I enjoy truffles and lamb. Don’t recall if I’ve tried those other two items but mushrooms in general are nice.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
No allergy.
If you don’t like that flavor just leave it out when you make it
I do. But that doesn’t help me with soups from a restaurant or a can. I would enjoy so many more from a menu or grocery if they weren’t loaded with celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Yep. If you’ve ever tried Old Bay seasoning, it’s the dominant flavor in that. Apologies to the state of Maryland, but I find it foul.
Of course you could also just bite into a stalk, you’ll taste it.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
think at some point you may need to admit that this post is essentially “I don’t like this thing, why does everyone else?”
That’s true of a lot of things. My question is why it’s so extraordinarily prevalent. Onions I understand as they are very dynamic. But I have a friend who hates onions 🤷
I don’t understand why you seem to struggle so much with the idea that others don’t share it.
I don’t. Simple as that.
Personally I think garlic is absolute magic, but I can 100% accept that others may not like it the same way, and some may be violently repelled by it. 🤷♂️
Totally agreed, garlic is awesome, but I know some people out there may hate it. And some like it but can’t eat it due to IBS.

Thanks! Can you elaborate on the movement? It felt bad before, especially since I used to play Warframe (which probably has the best third-person mobility ever).
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 1 week ago:
Have they fixed the movement so sprinting doesn’t disable when the terrain rises 2 cm? And so you don’t have to melee-jump to get everywhere at a decent speed?
Are there more than 2 space station interiors now? And more than 3 hostile plants across multiple galaxies? And actual geography like rivers or ice caps?
As you can maybe tell I wanted to like the game but wasn’t very impressed when I played ~2 years ago.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Yep and when those onion sugars caramelize, which adds a ton of flavor complexity. That one makes immediate sense to me. I actually like to add onions at various stages of soupmaking (for some recipes) so you get a variety of pungency and sweetness.
Celery though? I taste the same flavor whether it’s raw or cooked to mush.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
If “some people like it” then I would expect it in some soups. But it seems to be present in the vast majority of them, like to a disproportionate degree.

Maybe a better way of saying it is that a set of bricks is not a house. The organization and methodology makes data more than just a collection of assorted incidents.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I grew up eating it raw with peanut butter
I did too. Sometimes people would call it “ants on a log” and stick a few raisins on top. The celery crunch was nice but always wanted maximum PB to cover the flavor. Later I realized it was better without the celery at all.
Anyway, I’ve definitely crossed the dozen threshold. Probably ten dozen. I’m always picking it out of my meal when I try a new Chinese dish.

I believe the saying is: The plural of anecdote is not data.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Haha, right on. Cheers for a digital window outside our local bubbles, friend 🍻
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I guess? My soup tastes like soup (according to my partner anyway) without any celery.
But she had a canned soup earlier today and she didn’t notice the celery. I took one bite and noticed it immediately. So this may be at least half true.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
That’s the kind of answer I was looking for, thanks!
I wonder how much pectin is in peppers? I usually think of it coming from fruit and botanically those technically are.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
As with many food things you can blame the french.
Been waiting for that answer lol
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
If it all it comes down to just a matter of taste, that’s fine I guess. But before this thread I don’t think I’d ever heard anyone say they like celery in a dish or seek it out or appreciate its flavor or anything.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
But so are alliums? (garlic, leeks, shallots, etc) Those can be amazing in soup.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I appreciate that large chunks are easy to avoid… but that taste lingers, ew.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Thanks. I think my side note about water chestnuts is throwing people off? Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned that.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I just skip it when I make soup, and don’t feel like anything is missing 🤷
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Rhubarb is weird but I have nothing against it. I like fennel, cooked or not, seeds too.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I’m asking why it’s in so many canned soups and restaurant soups and even recipes. By all means make whatever you like at home.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Cool, wish I could trade ya.

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
But why celery and not some other vegetable? Because it’s cheap?
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I hate the flavor so I still usually notice it even when it’s totally broken down beyond mush.
Raw celery texture is kinda nice but I agree that doesn’t go with soup.

Yep. Morphologically, that is the horse’s wrist. And at the end of the limb is essentially just one big toe, with the hoof being an adapted toenail.
