  • If that had happened in Germany, Brenda would have provably committed an administrative offence and should stop unless they want to go to jail:

    § 4 Rest breaks

    Work shall be interrupted by predetermined rest breaks of at least 30 minutes for working hours of more than six to nine hours and 45 minutes for working hours of more than nine hours in total.

The earthy, bitter taste can be balanced by the right combination of sweetness (from other vegetables) and saltiness or used as intensifying effect for a strong umami taste, e.g. in poultry stock.

    I haven’t met anyone who specifically disliked the taste of celery root in soups yet.

    Out of curiosity, do you also dislike other earthy tastes, like truffles, lamb, champignons, girolles?
