Cooked for four including two men who eat a lot. Problem was, without celery, somethings just don't taste right to us, so the bland red beans got spread over three meals and definitely not one day after another. Sort of spreading out the bland.

The couple are good friends of my husband. I make a pretty good Chicken Andouille Gumbo, and this time I used a less spicy andouille and only read the fine print ingredients after I'd made two quarts of the stuff with home made chicken stock etc (but no chopped celery). Even my roux was as a medium walnut color.

Last time, I'd read a european website about celery allergy and they said that it was very common in European countries.

I can think of literally dozens of things to make that are celery free, from hamburgers to hummus, lasagna to shrimp linguini. If these people are your friends, you just do it so you don’t cause them harm.

Stop trying to leave the celery out of things and just make things that don’t use celery. Carne asada tacos, avocado toast, venison chili, cheeseburger sliders, roasted chicken and mashed potatoes.....the list of celery free tasty food is pretty nigh endless.

Leaving celery out of red beans shouldn't make them bland. Good red beans can be made without any celery. You can up your other spices and vegetables that you enjoy. Use a good smoked hock and a good smoked sausage.
