I thought today to be healthy I’d bring in some celery to snack on.
Usually I’ll only eat this with some form of dip that takes away the actual taste of celery, but today I was thought, no I’m going to try it on its own and bluerghhhh it’s the most rancid thing I have ever placed in my mouth to eat.
Weird peppery and watery. The only thing I do like is the crunch but the taste is too unbearable even be able to enjoy that.
I’m at work but I’m gonna scramble together some things to make a thousand island because as disgusting as this is, I can’t waste food.
What’s the point of having a healthy thing that you have to cover in unhealthy things to take the taste away.

Peppery?
Watery and vegetal but I definitely don’t consider it peppery. Anyway just avoid it from here on 🫡
Try putting your favorite salad dressing on it.
If your celery is peppery I think you might be doing it wrong.
Also celery with peanut butter is one of, if not the greatest snack ever devised by humans and I’ll fight anybody that disagrees with me.
If you’re going to eat celery plain, the best way is to chop it up, soak the pieces in water and keep it covered in the fridge. It tastes a lot better that way because it isn’t dried out or stringy and comes out cold and juicy.
Reading this while eating a whole Celeriac like a damn apple.
Put peanut butter on it..
It’s nothing but a vessel for peanut butter in my household
Gee would it be better for you if you ate it while it was sticking out of my ass???
I’ll give you this one. I love celery but I’m the first to admit it tastes like strands of wet grass.
I think it tastes fantastic raw. But considering it is always served with some dip or spread, I wouldn’t say this is unpopular.
I love celery with dip or peanut butter although I’ve been eating it more on it’s own. The heart of the celery is the tastiest.
I guess I can see why someone wouldn’t like it, but I think it’s pretty delicious.
Cool you don’t like a food. The most boring of all unpopular opinions. Not even unpopular becuase millions of people don’t like each food no matter what it is.
A vegetable full of strings? No thank you
Pro tip: don’t eat foods you hate.
Ehh .. if your celery tastes like that then you might be eating bad celery. Celery on its own doesn’t have a real taste beyond maybe “grassy”. Make sure to wash and rinse too before eating
It’s like crunchy water. I can’t imagine thinking it’s the most rancid, unbearable taste someone has ever experienced. Mostly people use dips because it’s very bland otherwise.
If you think raw celery is rank…
You might actually have a slight allergy to celery. I wanted to like celery but it had that peppery sting to it that always turned me off. I found out its a really common allergic reaction a lot of people have. It’s not especially dangerous but some of us have it and others don’t. The ones that don’t have no idea what we’re talking about
Rhubarb is the celery of Satan.
I agree about the peppery flavor. I think this is the cilantro thing all over again. People claim it has no flavor, but it definitely definitely has a flavor and it’s a bad kind of spicy
I like raw celery. Delightfully refreshing. Maybe your taste buds have been desensitized
Ants on a log, anyone?
Preach!
Hard agree I don’t even know how celery became food. It’s the nastiness vegetable tied with sweet potatoes.
Edit after reading a couple post maybe I have an intolerance to it. Some posters on here say it just tastes like water. It definitely doesn’t taste like water to me. It spicy and chemically tasting and not amount of peanut butter or ranch can hide the flavor.
I hate celery, I can usually stand things that I don’t particularly like. But celery is one thing I cannot, I hate the smell, I hate how it makes the drawer in the fridge and everything around it start to smell or sometimes taste like it!
Have you ever tried eating raw meat?
If u peel the strings, it’s great
When I eat raw celery I either put crunchy peanut butter or cream cheese on it
Unfortunately its because American vegetables suck compared to anywhere else in the world. But here we are, I think it goes well with babaganoush (sp) so maybe that will help

Paywall… but could discuss sending a screenshot if this seems up your alley
(It’s easy and quite healthy unless sodium is what you’re avoiding)
Did you have a bloody Mary chaser?
I love it. Some people don’t.
It’s just a taste thing mostly decided by your genes that make you have some taste receptors and not others.
My dog hates it.
Peppery? Wtf, no it isn’t. Did you wash it?
Have it with peanut butter.
Like chewing on wet grass. I never got it.
Ever tried chicken tartar?
