Sim tried to start a discussion on this elsewhere, but for some reason - you are baffled by it as I am, I'm sure - he was viewed as a trouble-making troller and invited to cease following his line of inquiry.
Ghrey doesn't believe in celery or coriander, Sim doesn't like barnacles. I used to love snails as a child - their little horns, and their silvery trail - loved them. Then I became a gardener and lost a new planting of basil overnight to the little bastards, and now they are anathema to me. I heard they suffer horribly in salt and thought seriously about tormenting some. The word fills me with indignation. I am interested, and feel we can get at least two pages out of this subject.
Celery - no, don't get it. It's crunchy, great with salt or peanut butter, and when you cut a frill in one end and put it in cold water it goes all curly. Mr. FPS doesn't like coriander because it's too lemony, but as I am a fan of lemons we live in constant conflict.
Barnacles- damage your boat and hurt your feet when you walk on them in the rock pools and you never get to see them open. I begin to see it.
Snail - no doubt. Terrible term. I wonder why it isn't used instead of 'worm.' It would make much more sense. Worms are good and interesting creatures in that they have the dullest lives imaginable, and I have never understood why 'worm' is a term of disapprobation. 'Snail' would make much more sense.
