My bessie-mate is adamant he can't stand celery
"It tastes like headaches and I can't go near the stuff it's so foul..."

So... I've been trying to feed him as much of the stuff as possible by dicing it really finely and putting it into any dinner I think I can get away with. I managed to get a whole stick in the mayonnaise in a sandwich once. He's never picked up on it.

Absolutely
First class.

Can I suggest going all-out with a celery soup? My mum makes this with a good chicken stock and it's fan-tas-tic. He'll never know.

My mother in law tried that with me.
I can't abide celery. She made celery soup, then cackled about how she'd tricked me into eating it.

I didn't like to say that I'd hated every spoonful, and only ate it at all out of politeness. Perhaps I should have done.

On a similar topic...
.. my better half declined the proffered glass of port because 'it tastes like hangover'.

We did this to someone who claimed to be allergic to cheese
In reality it seems she was just awkward.

celery
recently written about celery:

"since I have no recipe and I'll be making it up as I go along - it'll not really be like kung pao at all - I mean... I don't imagine I'll add peanuts (I just eat around them personally... and there's allergies to worry about - can't be too safe these days) and I'll definitely not add celery (ugh! tastes like old horse droppings from a sick horse which ate nothing but ugly rats which lived on old lettuce from the floor of an alley way where incontinent dysenteric geriatrics gathered to complain vehemently and spit chewing tobacco grown from a field watered only with fluids strained from a dead goat's crack cheese churned to a vicious froth by the surliest of hygienically rebellious prisoners at the institution for gangrenous drainage of YUCK.) nor will I include, like, green things. They just confuse me."

Just let him know he's not alone =)
