So, we cut a stalk into 3 pieces. My husband and daughter ate it with me. They said it tasted like nothing. I said it was pretty spicy. It even made the food I ate after taste spicy. I was incredulous. “If it tastes like nothing, why is everyone so against eating celery all the time? This spicy taste is kind of gross, but it’s grown on me now, so I can understand why people don’t like it.” Well, anyway. Apparently I am allergic to celery.
