I used to think that it didn’t but then my CSA (local farm) sent me some locally grown celery and the taste was astounding. Much smaller stalks but the flavor was incredible and I realized there is a celery flavor.
Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock?

Yep. If you’ve ever tried Old Bay seasoning, it’s the dominant flavor in that. Apologies to the state of Maryland, but I find it foul.
Of course you could also just bite into a stalk, you’ll taste it.

It does, but I only really noticed it first when using celery salt in my tuna sandwich mix. That’s probably the easiest way to spot it that I can think. Make a can of tuna and add a lil celery salt and you’re like halfway to a proper tuna salad taste just with that alone.
