      I’m not saying that you can’t pick up a chunk of celery, bite it, and say - that’s celery. You had a piece big enough to pick up and eat by itself, cool.
      But if you blended up that Chinese food, and blended up another batch of that same Chinese food without celery and said “is there any difference in these food pastes?”
      I don’t think anyone would be like “I’m missing that massive celery flavor”
