Pascal celery

In North America, commercial production of celery is dominated by the varieties called Pascal celery.

Mirepoix consists of onions, carrots and celery (either common Pascal celery or celeriac).

In Vientiane, Laos, starved for something crisp, I went berserk and ordered four helpings of celery - plain old garden-variety Pascal celery, but that night, in that place, it might have been foie gras.
