Why are Hot Wings served with Celery?
Answers:
I'm not familiar with that custom, they don't do it where I live, maybe it has something to do with cooling your mouth if its really hot
so there's something healthy in your plate and you dont feel as guilty???
Really spicy things are served with cool, bland things to give your mouth a little break.
I've heard this question asked on the food network and the reply was that the combination of celery and blue cheese dressing (or ranch) cools off the palate in contast to the hot wings.
they give you celery and blue cheese because that type of food can cool your mouth down after eating something spicy
hot wings are hot and juicy. they need to be counter-balanced with some crunchy celery and cool blue cheese.
Ok, I think it's because the wings are so hot that the celery cools your mouth down!

Because the bar that invented them, The Anchor Bar in Buffalo, came up with the idea late at night when the cook needed to make some food and only had scraps from there famous fried chicken. All she had left were the wings because they were not served as fried chicken. She also had celery in the fridge and decided to add some to the plate with some hot sauce on the fried wings. Thats it.
Why do you think? They taste darn good with celery and blue cheese! Oh yeah. Contrast too.
to give your mouth sumthing cool to chew on after your mouth is set on fire!!!
I believe that the celery (and sometimes carrots) are there for you to eat, to cut the heat from the hot wings. I'm not sure how effective this is, though, since you should really eat something with a fat content (like milk or chocolate) to cut the heat.
keep people think is heathy food , less heart burn....
It's just a side dish. damn.
