    “Celery tastes like water” is somwthing people only say because they heard other people say it. It clearly does not

      I think we’re back to the cucumber controversy. Or the mushroom one. Anyone being able to smell ants…?

          I don’t know if I would call it spicy, been a long time since I had just celery though. But I am really sensitive to the taste of it.

          Even if you chop it up small and cook it into something, for me it ruins a meal and gives it this horrible aftertaste. Probably best described as puke, that kinda acidic taste

            I’m seconding what that other person said. You might have oral allergy syndrome.

            Fun fact; that’s how I found out I have oral allergy syndrome. I asked a friend how so many people can ignore the way bananas burn like that and apparently, they don’t.

            Celery is like the opposite of acid or burning or spice. It’s green and water.
