      Wait what‽ Also didn’t know celery was in it. I’ve never actually had one of them, though I’d love to try, especially with something like a Parmesan vodka.

        It’s usually got a celery stick in it.

        It’s basically a bloody Mary, you’ll either like them both or hate them both.

            Like most of the plants we eat today, 2000 years ago celery kinda just looked like a weed. In this case, parsley, which is what it’s named after. It was used medicinally in certain areas but it was never cultivated in any wide scale.

            Then in France they decided it smelled really good and would be good in food. And because it was a bitch to grow the royalty took a liking to it. And after a few generations of selective breeding modern celery was born.
