No carrots = no carrot cake.
A small price to pay… we’ll still have banana bread. I tell you what, I’ll make everyone some bloody marys with two stalks of celery and and extra dash of celery salt to ease the suffering of losing our pointy, orange friend. Deal?
But if we lost carrots, we’d be stuck with a feeling of poignant loss every time we watched a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
With celery missing in my life, why… I just don’t think I could find any joy in Loony Tunes anymore.

YUCK!
I don’t think I’ve eaten celery in well over a year- don’t hate it, I just don’t care one way or another about it. Woudn’t even notice it’d gone.
The person who gives away my potatoes will be hunted down without mercy though. That’s about 1/4 of my diet, right there.
I have my eye on you, Mosier.
Eye. On. YOU.
Although I enjoy the crunchiness of celery, it’s bitter taste makes it the easiest to banish.
Can’t get rid of garlic or we’d have vampires running amuck!
I’m going with carrots. In soups and stews, parsnips can impart carroty sweetness, although I’ll miss the color. Not too sure about parsnip cake, but I’m not that big a fan of carrot cake anyway.
Celery is a horrible horrible vegetable. It must die.
Yeah, what a shame, we’d all have to eat just cake without any nasty vegetables trying to sneak their way in. Carrot cake is good for neither carrots nor cake.
I hate to break this to you, but chocolate cake? Beans!
And FYI, cmyk: I’d see the aliens pave the planet before I willingly drink a Bloody Mary, yuck. Vodka’s for Cosmos.
Why couldn’t you have put beets on the list? Then this would have been easy.
I picked potatoes. I can eat yams instead. Can’t do carrots cause I love Carrot Cake. Stuffing just would not work without Celery. And Onions and Garlic go in almost everything.
Yep, got to go with Potatoes.
Sorry, the celery’s gotta go. Not because it’s a bad food, but because all the others are so wonderful.
Why is cilantro on this list? I guess the aliens think it tastes like soap too.
I would pick carrots because I don’t like them that much, but my guinea pig is in love with carrots and would never speak to me again, so I had to pick celery.
Celery is vile in taste and scent. It would suck to have to smell that stink all the time, but I suppose after a while you’d adjust and not really smell it any more.
You’re absolutely right. I’d like to change my answer, as I didn’t think about this enough. I made the mistake of thinking of the nutritional value of carrots. But extra spicy buffalo wings and blue cheese just wouldn’t be the same without celery!
Garlics and onions are the foundation for all civilised cooking. Although I don’t think I have ever cooked anything with carrots there’s nothing wrong with them as with potatoes. The only expendable item on the list is celery. I can have my bloody Mary without it.
However, you forgot to include the vile thing that is mushrooms.
I picked potatoes, because if the atmosphere has to smell like something, it might as well be the least offensive smelling thing on the list.
You can have my onions when you pry them from my disappointed but hopefully not dead yet fingers.
