Hello Ben,

 DD>> has a subtly different flavour. I use celery in many things as a
 BC> "bulk"
 DD>> agent ... like my chilli. It adds a vegetable thickener without
 BC> resorting
 DD>> to flour (roux) or cornstarch/arrowroot slurry.

 BC> That's interesting, i had not thought of celery as a thickener.

Peppers are better. Vinegar, for thin sauces.

 BC> I am familiar with using okra for that, like in a gumbo.

We use fil‚ and okra. But never at the same time.
And sometimes neither. All depends on the type of gumbo.

For Life,
Lee
