I don’t like lettuce
Won’t eat it in salads, sarnies or even a burger
There I’ve said it
Anyone else going to share a guilty secret? |  |

How very dare you.
Celery is the most underrated vegetable and should be used frequently, it is a brilliant flavour generator - and very tasty on its own dipped in salt. |
You're a wrong'un.
I will incorporate small (small!) quantities of celery in a sauce and admit it adds something in the background.
But firmly in the background is where it belongs.
Stuff stinks as it tastes. |  |

I have to confess to being a sucker for a few sticks of celery with a bit a salt. Though it's clearly surpassed by the radish, the king of the salad. It's such an underrated creature, I consider it to be the olive of the northern hemisphere. |  | | |

Another not very interesting thing is that my previous dog (Burley) was the greediest hound I have ever known. She would eat anything including pants, toilet rolls, cardboard boxes etc etc.
The only thing she wouldn't eat was lettuce.
RIP Burley.  |
Was Burley reincarnated as Keno? |  |

I bet Burley (RIP) wouldn't eat celery either. | |

Try putting a load of it in a cottage pie, it disintegrates to nothing but it brings out the flavour brilliantly.
Sorry for the down vote, I rarely downvote anything but I couldn't stop myself. |  |

I cook it, as in a mirepoix, and yes, will add it to ragu, gravies, and as you say things like cottage pies and pretty much most things that require a little sauce.
But not in chunks. Cannot deal with it at all.

Celery is also a core component in authentic Italian sauces. I believe Celery, Onion and Carrot are the go to veggie cornerstones of a good meat sauce.
That said, raw celery is w*nk. | |

I'm looking forward to my Easter Sunday dinner, I have bought a lump of beef as big as a Mini Cooper. | |

Oh god, me too. We have a 3 rib roast this year, bone in from Campbell's Meat in Scotland. I have used them for the last 3 years for Christmas and Easter - and last year for my Pit BBQ and regular BBQ grilling. | |

I love beef but am wary of it now.
My first gout attack was following a 3 day binge on a large tomahawk that was on offer from the usual £35 to half price.
It was lovely but then I couldn't walk for a week.
Dunno. I have lamb but obviously that's not going to be better is it.
I fancy a decent lamb curry to be honest so might make an effort and do that. | |

I would imagine it's easy to overcook in a BBQ?
My lump is weighing in at 10 kilos, I'll give it a 20 min sizzle on gas 9 and then turn it down to gas 3 and cook it for 20 mins a kilo - before resting it for minimum 90 mins.
My wife will only eat the end because she is a heathen but everyone else will tuck in like mad men and women - except RKD who will be eating nuts and green things. | |

Oh yeah, Rib roasts are never added to my pit, or the grill. Brisket all the way in the pit. Really good to see you giving the joint a good 90 minutes to rest - something I see far too many people ignoring, and losing all the juices from the cut. | |

I really dont care for roast lamb. I love it in a Sheppard's pie, hotpot or curry, but not really too wrapped up in it out of the oven, | |

Mother never rested her meat joints, she thought they would go cold, she is a bit of a mentalist.
She asked how long to cook beef once as she was having a big Christmas dinner and she was in the habit of unintentionally overcooking it. I told her the times but she didn't let it rest and by all accounts on carving it was like a blood bath. | |

I've gone off lamb after seeing that poor thing yesterday that needed a haircut.
Anyway, I would need a whole lamb to feed my lot and it wouldn't fit in the oven. | |

As a child I was taken to Crete for Easter. We stopped at a beach and discovered some locals cooking lamb on a bbq - they shared it with us and it was the most beautiful tasting meat ever. How lovely and generous! Cool story or what? Thank me later. |  |

That sounds good.
I was in Puerto Banus once with a supplier and some of his Spanish friends. They took us to a little restaurant off the beaten track and they only cooked lamb. One of the Spanish bods was a wine supplier and he kept recommending different reds.
It was absolutely brilliant, fantastic day all round.
RIP Rup and Jesus | |

I have a number of Puerto Rican friends - I tried to find the recipe for something they used to cook for family get togethers. The closest I could find is this

I stand by my love for lamb being limited to simmered dishes. | |
