Hello and welcome to Saber, production of IHeart Radio. I'm Annie Reese.

And I'm Lauren Vogelbaum. And today we have a classic episode for you about celery.

Yes. Any particular reason this was on your mind, Lauren?

Yeah, you know, I was, you know, filing through our backlog.

And celery is, you know, with the holidays upon us,

celery is an ingredient in a lot of those kind of classic holiday dishes.

And furthermore, it has such an interesting

history of being incredibly fancy, which is low-key why it's incorporated in some of these

fancy holiday dishes, like holiday feast dishes. And also, it is delightful. It's just, or I mean,

I think it's delightful. Y'all are allowed to think whatever you want. But the sheer fanciness that

celery achieved in its history is great. It is one of my favorite things we talked about in this

episode was celery dishes.

Yeah.

The vases and the dishes, yeah.

Ooh, yes.

And I do, I love that celery kind of occupies the space of historically being fancy.

Let's display it. Let's put it in this dish, to now where it is still involved

in a lot of our holiday dishes, but it's also sort of like, like we see it as something we

don't want to eat too much, especially as kids.

You're like, oh.

You're like, oh, that's healthy and kind of gross.

Yeah.
