I am on a carrot kick lately. I've been eating them dipped in blue cheese dressing. I ate an entire 3 pound bag this week and plan to buy another one at the store today.

I love Chinese 5-spice seasoning. And fresh ginger.

What's a rib of celery? A stalk?

I ended up buying an 8 pound bag of carrots.

I also bought a whole . . . thing. . . of celery. What's a whole thing of celery called? A head of celery?

I think it's a bunch of celery. What's a lot of carrots called?

I found this online:

Note: Most people call a rib of celery a stalk. But this is incorrect, according to the people who care about this type of thing. Really, a stalk of celery consists of a bunch of individual ribs. The ribs are then separated for use in recipes.

Then we get into celery hearts...

A gaggle of carrots.

I think it's a concordance of carrots.

But with celery, it's all attached to one root stem, so isn't there a name for that? I always imagined that a "bunch" was a lot of loose items put-together.
