Celery, once it is cooked, loses some of its medicinal qualities; however, it is still clearly an aromatic plant, good for the stomach, warming, and consequently, a fairly powerful aphrodisiac. Our conscience forces us to warn shy people that considering this last quality of celery, they might abstain from eating it or use it with caution. Suffice it to say that it is in no way a salad for bachelors.[Almanach des Gourmands, 1804]
