Since celery and parsley are in the same family has anyone ever tried using the celery leaves as a garnish like parsley? How does it compare?

Rose and apple are in the same family, but you wouldn't expect to bite into a rose hip expecting a juicy fruit.

Rose hips are sweet though

Potato and dates are closely related. No, they don't taste the same. Celery leaves are perfectly cromulent in their own right - not as parsley substitute.

Really? The point is that plants being in the same family doesn't mean that the same parts of the plant can be used for the same purpose. Rose, apple, strawberry, raspberry, hawthorn, crabapple and plenty of plants that have no culinary use are all in the rose family, but you can't interchange apples for crabapple fruits in any recipe, or raspberries for hawthorn fruits.
On the other hand, there are single species that can have different cultivars with wildly different appearances and very different uses. Brassica oleracea is a single species includes broccoli, cauliflower, as well as cabbage and Brussels sprouts, which are all used different ways in cooking.

generally I just chop it up with the rest of the stalk
I don;t use much of the stuff as it tastes like a watered down radish imo

>Potato and dates are closely related.
Potatoes and dates are about as closely related as grass and sunflower. Which is to say, not at all. I don't know who told you that they were closely related. Perhaps you were thinking of something else?

It's fine. Only weirdos east the garnish. Is this a trick question? My only issue would be celery leaves wilt much faster than parsley.
Luis Peterson
If you bite into the stalk of parsley, it has a similar flavor to the stalk of celery, though, unlike a potato and date, or potato and tomato which are of the same family as well.

I was thinking along the lines of flat leaf parsley which is often sprinkled ocer the top of the dish.
