My grandmother introduced me to eating the core of the celery at the bottom. She would trim off the very bottom, which was brown. Once trimmed, it was a clean white. And the core taste like a mild celeriac. Now, we fight for it
DH loves homegrown celery and doesn't like store bought. It is not bitter and although he avoided it for years, growing it at home really helped.
You Fight For it?
We fight for the stems to fresh broccoli, the corners to the brownies, the end-crust on the whole grained bread, the first tomato of the year that's turned red, the first sweet corn available locally in the season, the garlic buttered tiny smooth skinned tiny kennebec potatoes after harvest. Fight? Ya wanna fight? It's more like a race but I certainly understand where you are coming from.
