The celery thread

**Roxy** · 19-10-2006, 07:54 AM

Celery was used as an anaesthetic right into the Twentieth Century, when it was replaced by modern sedatives.

Contrary to popular belief, celery is very difficult to grow. The majority of celery distributed in the LOS is imported as Thai farmers lack both the stamina and the manual dexterity required to nurture the plant to full size.

The most highly skilled celery farmers come from the T'pau tribe of the Northern South of Eastern Cambodia. The T'pau employ a technique known as 'tickling' to stimulate growth in celery.

Celery suppositories have been used unsuccessfully to treat a variety of diseases including alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis and being Welsh.

No it's not and they don't grow it here much cos it's too hot.

RC is correct because it needs a LONG cool period during growth.

Shouldn't this be in Issues?

Are you questioning the moderation of the board lily?
i suspect that is a very serious offence which will be looked upon rather sternly by the management.

It's not a Caesar without the celery stick, IMHO.

A Bloody Mary isn't complete without a stick of celery, either.

Celery is the one food that I absolutely detest. If I ever have a Waldorf salad the first thing that I do is to remove all of the celery and waldorfs

NB: Whilst checking my spelling I came across this site:

Celery is a neat veggie. You can make these hors douversy things by cutting them into sections and filling the hollows with pate or french cheese or hummus or whatever.

OK, I can see the point about banning him from the food section of the forum, but he will just continue to post his sick stuff all over the rest of the forum
