Celery

Celery, or arrath, was a common plant with its stalks often consumed as food by beasts and humanoids and used an aromatic vegetable in many savory dishes.
==Usages==
Celery was consumed in the Dalelands, being grown in Mistledale and Battledale. It was used as one of the ingredients for the High Dale Lamb dish served at The Swordsmith's House. The dish of baked grick, also found in the Dalelands, was made with a stuffing of rice pilaf and diced celery.
In nearby Cormyr, celery received a wide culinary use, including the recipe for roast gammon pie from Suzail's Golden Goblin eatery, and Blentra's Oysters and Wild Rice in Mushroom Soup from The Platter of Plenty of Marsember.
The cooks of the Elfsong Tavern and the Three Old Kegs of Baldur's Gate used celery in their cooking and considered it to be the most important part of the dishes' flavor. The Red Sheaf inn in the town of Beregost on the Sword Coast was known for its cold potato soup flavored with celery and onions. The City of Splendors, Waterdeep on the Sword Coast North, had access to celery. A Maiden's Tears tavern sold garlic and cheese melt breads with fresh celery, and it was used in the recipe for roasted cockatrice from the Old Monster Shop.
Amnian cuisine used celery as a flavoring agent in such dishes as Amnian Dragoon Soup, as well as Dradeel's Vegetable Surprise. In the port town of Velen on the Dragon's Head Peninsula of Tethyr, celery was served at Morgan's Inn, as a part of a cold highsunfeast, alongside olives.
