Why Celery Was The Kale of Today in The Victorian Era | Proof Podcast From America’s Test Kitchen
Check out recipes and bonus content here:
Celery was the “it” vegetable of the Victorian era – celery tonics claimed to cure everything from overstrained nerves to a sluggish liver, and upper-class Victorians had special dishes for serving and displaying their celery. So how did celery go from fashionable to forgettable? We trace celery’s fall from grace and ask the important question: is it poised for a comeback?

Kale is just another fad! Being touted as a super food just as Swiss chard, quinoa. Just alot of bullshit. If it were all the true 8,000,000,000 on this planet would be all eating it!
The sad thing is that I love celery, but I developed an allergy to it while I was pregnant the first time. Wah!
Love this. Thanks for the pod cast!
Enjoyed the food history lesson, story but don't see the need to present in an audio only format!
Great Format, love the presentation.
There's a huge difference between kale and celery. You can take a stalk of celery and put a line of peanut butter and raisins on it and you have yourself a yummy snack. If you dye a piece of cardboard green and set it down next to kale, I dare you to tell them apart. They look and taste the same as one another.
food, its taste, look and texture is not what it was 100-150 yrs ago. example bananas are bland and tasteless compared to 50-75 years ago. growing for perfect look and larger fruit has made it change. celery may have been extremely flavorful and delicious. it's a shame what we have done to food.
Lordy, lordy, lordy. Ok went to Etsy found two beautiful celery dishes, ordered them. Love celery, never knew the history. Googling celery recipes after this. Love this pod cast.
It sounds like Bridget has a glass of wine sitting by a fireplace.
She would make a good audio book talker.
This needs video. Even it's it just people at a table talking to each other.
Haha I have several of these dishes and always thought they were just for pickles and olives. Now I know what to call them! Thanks ATK!! 😂
As an old Italian New Yorker, there was always a dish with celery and olives on the Sunday dinner table. Celery was also used to cleanse the palate between courses.
Wow Bridget, you have a great voice for this kind of thing 👍👏👏👏
I juice 32 oz Celery juice every day. I had type 2 diabetes No more.
Ferment it with onion for 3 to 7 days😉 It Is GOOD.❤…And Healthy.
A. Podcast on YouTube? What a waste.
How could you miss the celery juice craze that's going on right now? Supposed to the next superfood… Just google it.
Celery comes with my buffalo wings, I usually have it boxed with what few wings survive so I can use it in stock; otherwise I don't really care for it, I rarely get the craving to chew room temperature water sticks.
Edit: anyone else grow up eating "bumps on a log" or some variant there of? Celery stalk filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins?
There was no sound or visuals on my end.
They couldn't drink the water then. Celery is full of electrolytes. So healthy.
LMBO I can't stand raw celery but love it cooked in soups and stews
Oooooh! I so love this idea of food podcasting!😋
Mom and Dad were always into antique tableware and they had a matching pair of crystal celery vases on the table at every holiday meal.
Ohh boy ohh boy is this ever a deeeeeeep rabbit hole tra la la la la😂😂😂😂😂😂
What is a "stock of celery"??
Very "This American Life" vibe from your video. Great, love it. Orange is the new black and ATK is the new NPR?
I cant stand trends period
I'm waiting for French Fries and spicy cheetos to be the "it" vegetables next :)..
Well I mean, it already is for me.
Love celery…outer green stalks for veggie stock and flavoring. Inner pale stalks for snacking.
