Tfw too lazy to make mirepoix

chop up some celery and boil it in some water. taste that water. it definitely tastes like something and it's pretty good

>You burn calories chewing the shit.
Retard.

>you burn calories watching tv on the couch
You can't seriously be this retarded. You're a fucking joke, kid.

What I mean to say is that you burn more calories chewing celery than you gain from digesting it.
You'll literally starve to death eating only celery

>not peeling out the strands first

It adds flavor, aroma, and CELLULOSE to help you poo better.

>being this autistic

>celery doesn't have flavor
What form of memery is this?

Wouldn't that be true for any watery vegetable? None of them provide very many calories.

Celery tastes good though, and as long as you cut it thinly the fibers aren't even noticeable.

>Wouldn't that be true for any watery vegetable?
Which others would those be?
Carrots, potatoes, onions, all have lots of flavour

cukes

No one puts cucumbers in a soup or any other meal

Why do you people exist? You should have been erased from the evolutionary line so long ago. I guess its the reason that dairy cows are so docile and stupid. We've fucked up the concept of evolution so you can exist.

I mean all watery vegetables will basically make you starve to death if that's all you eat.

If your tastebuds aren't ruined from processed food and soda, celery has a fair bit of flavor and it even tastes saltier than other vegetables. Plus, if you don't just throw the celery leaves away they have a nice flavor too.

What are you even talking about? I can actually taste the flavor of celery so I should've been wiped out? Dairy cows are docile because it was originally a better deal for them to be taken care of by us than struggling to survive in the wild. We haven't fucked up the concept of evolution, that's like saying something is "unnatural". We're part of nature so everything we do is natural, and natural doesn't necessarily mean good.

>it even tastes saltier than other vegetable
Name one
Brocoli stem?

Sure. Broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, cucumbers, cabbage. Celery has a noticeably saltier taste to it, for me anyway.

Use a food processor.

Carrots, *some* leafy greens, and cabbage tastes a lot more than celery

We're arguing about the basic taste of celery. If you claim it tastes salty, then adding salt reduces celery to tasting like fibre.

Broccoli has flavour because it can retain the wholeness of water in a flavourful soup. Celery can't do that.
No one adds cucumber at all to soups.

What about cucumber soup?

Is that a thing?
Is it just "salty water"?

I never said celery was the most flavorful, but it does taste saltier than other vegetables. Not the same as just adding salt to other vegetables though. Celery just has a kind of slightly earthy, grassy flavor but still tastes "clean". It's fine if you don't like it, but if you're going to try to convince me it's bad and that I shouldn't like it, that's kind of silly.

Cucumber tastes good in cold summer soups.

I'm not trying to convince you it's bad
I'm saying, it's not worth the effort

That's fine, everyone has different tastes.

>not making superior cream of lettuce

>kid

kill yourself my man,

lol

watch at 0:17 bro, it's not hard

Mirepoix is an entry level anime. Holy trinity is superior.

Have you never cooked celery before? It's very aromatic.

>You'll literally starve to death eating only celery
That's why you don't eat only celery, retard.

youll starve to death eating just water

Clapistanis can't into savory. I think it's a pseudoreligious thing where something not from the cow/pig/chicken trinity having their favorite taste is faggot weeaboo hippie heresy and needs to be purged lest they succumb to the dark temptation.

Jesus dude take a break

I make mirepoix for at least three meals a week, it's just essential for most things. I'll switch out the carrot for a pepper if I am making spanish/mexican.
What the fuck are you talking about. Celery has a very distinctive flavour and aroma, you can't have a mirepoix without it.

Your proportions are all wrong.
1 part carrot, 1 part celery, 2 parts onion.
Also, is that cucumber above the onion? wtf?

Can you make meat sauce using Cajun trinity? What about vegetable soup?

While experimenting with étouffée recipes, I actually found that altering the portion of celery had an incredible effect of the overall flavor of the dish. Being able to distinguish itself, as a distinct taste, between onions and bell peppers would imply that it certainly adds a strong element to any food. Disregarding something as crucial as celery because "it's not worth the effort" probably means you have poor work ethic or a shit palette.

Sure, you can use it for both of those.
