Why is celery served with chicken wings?

[ChiTownLov]

Share your theory why? Behind your theory, why not milk with them to counter act the heat for the spicy ones?

[Lucy68]

When I was in colllege I was a waitress at a restaurant which I would like to call a Hooters 2.0, and according to my old boss he said since celery contains water it apparently cooled the mouth down. Wings too hot eat a celery and that was his theory.

[ChiTownLov]

So twin peaks? Yeah, it is supposed to counter, but milk is actually much easier and quicker to get the spice to go away, or the burn to go away

[Lucy68]

That's what one of my coworkers told him, his reply was "who's going to order milk instead of beer". I kinda miss that place now lol it was fun

[ChiTownLov]

🤚🤚I would if I could drink it. As a patron, it gets old. Lol. Plus a reg because of my vet status, when they actually had it mon-fri, the girls constantly came to me with their issues. Like, come on.

[Lucy68]

I was just there for pocket money lol, and yeah the girls will do that

[ChiTownLov]

I get it. Most understood I tipped on work ethics, and not how well they flirted. I think a few quit because of me. Oops

[Kkoalalita]

Good question…now that got me thinking 🤔

[ChiTownLov]

It is supposed to counter the wings you just ate. Like keep you digestive system balanced. Lol

[Kkoalalita]

Huh, never really thought of it that way but I guess so🥸👍

[ChiTownLov]

A side of celery sticks is as synonymous with Buffalo wings as blue cheese dressing and extra napkins. Proponents of this crunchy stalk say the celery sticks offer a cool reprieve from the hot wings. Plus, celery is healthy and totally counteracts the dozen fried chicken wings you just ate.

Just from a quick Google search

[Kkoalalita]

Totally off topic but man that pic of the wings are making me real hungry 😭

[ChiTownLov]

Lol. My bad.

[Kkoalalita]

No you’re all good 👍

[ChiTownLov]

Well just make sure you eat some celery along with it as well

[Kkoalalita]

Lol…I’ll make sure

But I actually prefer celery with peanut butter 😕

[ChiTownLov]

That is good too. Every put raisins on it too?

[Kkoalalita]

No but I should…probably would taste better 👁👄👁

[ChiTownLov]

It does! So much better

[Kkoalalita]

Gonna try it out next time I have celery!

But it was fun talking to ya, ttyl kiddo 👋

[ChiTownLov]

Yay for giving a suggestion. Ummm what? Kiddo?

[Kkoalalita]

Ik your older than me… but it’s just something I saw…

No disrespect or anything

[ChiTownLov]

I get it. It just weirds me out when someone calls me that. All good though

[Kkoalalita]

Sorry about that 🙀

[ChiTownLov]

Lol. No worries

ants on a log - grand-daughter loves em.

I hate raw celery alone, but for some reason I love them with buffalo wings.. and I’m not trying to counteract the spicy when I like my wings spicy, but the two just pair harmoniously together when you take a bite of each at the same time, like mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes lol

[On_cloud_wine]

Maybe with an extra side of buffalo sauce and ranch to dip in too…

[On_cloud_wine]

I eat them like a delicacy ❤️

[DizzyDesii]

I never understood that. I guess a balance of healthy and junk 😂 But i love celery when cooked. Just not raw. I mean i like it raw. But not celery

[ChiTownLov]

I like it in salad chopped, diced. In a chicken salad. But yes it is supposed to be a counter for the fatty chicken.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea thats what i said, a balance of healthy food vs junk food. I only like celery in soup

[ChiTownLov]

Soup sounds good right bout now

[DizzyDesii]

It does. But i just set it aside for a chili dog and fries 😛🥵👌

[ChiTownLov]

Oh man. I thought you were on a health kick

[DizzyDesii]

Since when lol

[ChiTownLov]

I dont remember. When you had that little crush on someone that came into your office a few months ago

[DizzyDesii]

Now im really confused lmao. Share more deets please?

[ChiTownLov]

You know I can't remember every detail. I'm old! That was couple months ago

[DizzyDesii]

The interview man? Or something else. Drop some hints 🤣

[ChiTownLov]

I believe he came in and applied for your college. Or he was a delivery guy? Idr

[DizzyDesii]

Shit im thinking. Im so lost rn 🤣

[ChiTownLov]

My bad. Oh you know what, I never showed you the new thing I've made this past weekend.

[DizzyDesii]

Did your username change? Is this you P?

[ChiTownLov]

Yeah I deleted it because someone possibly sent me something I did not want to see.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahh i see

[ChiTownLov]

Hopefully you did not see

[DizzyDesii]

No i didn't

[ChiTownLov]

Then good.

It's mostly water water so I believe it's to soak up the burn. Or maybe it's the illusion of serving you something healthy. 🤣

Here's an interesting note. Celery contains less calories than it takes to eat and digest it. So theoretically you can starve to death eating nothing but celery.

[AndrewMG]

Is this a thing? I mean I live in the UK so usually when I order chicken wings it's after a few drinks on a night out, but I never wake up with the taste of celery in my mouth lol

[t-8900]

for when things get too spicey. Celery can cure it quick.

[EndlessVoid20]

I have no clue, I've always wondered that too

[ChiTownLov]

It's just to balance the meal. Some call it a way to silence the heat n your mouth. But to no avail. Water doesn't help with spicy stuff. Best bet is milk.

[EndlessVoid20]

I'm lactose intolerant better make it almond milk lol (:

[ChiTownLov]

You know what, I'm not sure if that would work. But I could try. Lol. I dont even do cereal anymore because all that stuff.

[douride2]

I have never seen celery served with wings before.

[ChiTownLov]

I'm guessing you don't live in the states?

[douride2]

Your right. I live in Canada.

[ChiTownLov]

Ah. I haven't been to every place that serves wings, but most every dish I've ever seen of wings, I've seen celery.

[Massageman]

- - - or sour cream as with tacos, burritos, etc.

[ChiTownLov]

Never tried sour cream with celery. I've done that with pretzel rods and added minced onion in the sour cream

[Massageman]

Analogy - - - - - Sour cream is the break from heat of tacos/ celery is a break from heat and texture of the hot wings.

[Slayerrrrrrr]

why is cereal served with milk?

[ChiTownLov]

That doesn't answer the question or give an opinion

[Slayerrrrrrr]

That makes two of us
