RE: Steemit Iron Chef 2018 ~ Act 01 Round 12 ~ Celery: Ants On A Log ~ Original Photography And Semi-Short Discussion About A Most Excellent Picnic Food ~
ahahaha. Do not say bugs to those grapes! :D
nauseating: D
It really looks like a lot of ants: D
Are they delicious? I love peanut butter and raisins. I eat these plants, but in no way raw :)) Should I try it?
@artzim you have to try celery raw! It's delicious. It's also grown under a cloche or upsturned garden pot so it is white and doesn't photosynthesis. You don't see it a lot these days, but it was a Victorian staple and it is SO sweet and good. I also love celery and cashews cooked lightly with parsley and olive oil just as a sort of salad. mmmmm
One does tend to forget the raisin is nothing more than a dilapidated grape. I shall keep it hush hush.
These are very good. Why do you not eat celery raw? Is there something I should know about raw veggies?
I highly recommend the Ants On A Log as a food otherwise. Very tasty indeed. If not a bit messy when you take it somewhere with you. Not good movie theater food. That's reserved for a pizza and beer, or Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Sorbet. (You have to fake a cough when you open the beer at the theater, so no one is the wiser. Though the smell of the pizza often gives it away...the sorbet is a much quieter "food")
I think it's a cultural thing. It's like how I think of peas. Americans are so cruel to peas, and you always hear horror stories of American children hating peas, but they'd eat mushy peas the way the Brits make them and kids gobble them up, as do I!
They are the perfect side dish to fried seafood. I'm ashamed that here on Cape Cod where we serve bushel baskets of fish n chips all summer long do not include mushy peas.
