Peeling Celery

This may seem odd, but I have a child with sensory issues and the string on celery is something he just can't tolerate. My husband picked up the peeler one day and simply ran it down the sticks of celery and the strings just peeled off - no more strings, no more issues with celery! It's still not his favourite vegetable but he eats it without complaining and we're all happy. As a side benefit, slicing for stir-fry, casseroles and so on is easier, faster and neater too.
