And you can take that flippin' celery with you, too!

Did you know that if you google, "chicken soup 'without carrots'", the links you get are all along the lines of, "I can't imagine chicken soup without carrots," or "what is chicken soup without carrots?" The kind I freakin' like, that's what it is. Bah.

Celery is pretty much an abomination.

There are some vehement celery haters out there, I know. I don't actually hate the taste--I like raw celery once you stuff it with delicious things like cream cheese or peanut butter or blue cheese--but in principle I hate it if you try to stick it into Chinese food and pretend it's bok choy. GET. OUT.

And I just like my chicken soup naked. Take your "homestyle" and begone.

Maybe I just haven't had the *right* kind of celery!

To be honest, I have a hard time being around chicken soup because it always make me think of being ill. :/ But I hope you find the good kind!

Ugh, don't you just detest the "maybe you just haven't had the RIGHT kind" people? As if in our lives all the versions we've tasted were part of a conspiracy to keep the good kind away from us. (Caveat: yes, I do know that you can perhaps prepare something in a way that'll make it acceptable. And that there might be a less-common version of a food that is actually tastier than its common counterparts. But that's different, isn't it, from the sanctimonious "you haven't had the RIGHT kind!" pronouncement. Argh.)

This is absolutely correct and accurate.
