Celery Soda

[Bruno]

I just tried the recipe for celery soda from this episode of Good eats. (time,13:15)

I have to say, it's not bad. Celery seeds contain fairly high levels of 3-N-butyl-phthalide, which research indicates has certain health benefits:

Probably not as good for you as just a plain ol' glass of V8, though.

V8 has a FUCKTON of sodium though.

I really liked that celery episode.  There have been a ton of awesome ones, but that one and the pickles one were really cool to me.

I like V8. Also, without sodium we would quickly die, it's just a matter of how much of it you get in the rest of your diet.

I said too much, not any at all.  There really is a lot in V8, as delicious as it is.

Fucking celery soda?!?!?
I need to try this. Like now.

Also, I like V8 but it makes me dizzy and gives me the shakes. No idea why.
(PS- they make a lower sodium version, which is the one I like)

No, you said it has a fuckton. Which is not necessarily TOO MUCH.

Shit yes you do. It was really easy to make. I've god a bunch of herbs and spices left over from making absinthe. Some of those would probably also work in a soda, especially anise and fennel. Not wormwood, though.

I think homemade sodas from scratchmay be, like, my thing now. For a while. I've done it with extracts before, but this is cooler.

If I could just carbonate my own water, that would be the schnizzzz. I've done it with yeast before, but I just don't care for yeasty sodas.

Celery soda is fucking nasty. When ECH is King, whether or not you like celery soda will be used as a shibboleth.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

nasty you say?

now i HAVE to try it.


FUCK!

Seeing as it's mostly consumed by j00z, does that make you an anti-Semite?

[East Coast Hustle]

I can't be an anti-semite if I borrowed the idea of a shibboleth, can I?

No, really. It's true. A fuckton of pepper, for instance, might be exactly the right amount of pepper.

Update: FYI, if you put celery seeds in your coffee grinder, your coffee will taste like celery forever.

Seriously, I cleaned the fuck out of it and I can still taste it. I'm not sure I could even use it as a spice grinder now.

Hey I found some of this shit at the bbq place.
Made by Dr Browns, which I think is sold all over



It was actually really good. I liked it.
