Editorial draft based on recorded food connections. Country-specific recipe connections await independent review; label research is identified separately below. This is not a list of suitable meals.
Understanding the food context
This Moldova reference brings together recorded dishes and ingredients to help you prepare questions about celery. It describes catalogue connections, not the suitability of a restaurant meal.
Examples to investigate include Ciorbă de fasole, Ciorbă de perișoare. Open a dish to see its recorded ingredients, then check the version being served: recipes and bought-in sauces can differ.
Read the ingredient connections and check the product actually used.
Recorded dishes are examples to discuss, not suitability recommendations.

The catalogue records celery itself and notes celery as an aromatic in beef broth and chicken stock. It also records celery in Ciorbă de fasole and Ciorbă de perișoare as an aromatic vegetable.
These are recorded examples rather than universal recipes. A stock or broth may need a direct ingredient question even when celery is not visible in the served soup.
Ask the kitchen
Does the broth or aromatic base contain celery?
For this concern, ask separately about the finished dish and any liquid or base added during cooking. The supplied records connect celery with beef broth, chicken stock, and two soups, so the base should not be overlooked.
Then ask about preparation equipment and serving tools. A recipe answer does not describe shared pots, ladles, strainers, or storage containers, and the catalogue supplies no local kitchen-practice evidence.
Ask the kitchen
Which stock or broth was used?
Follow the complete recipe
These ingredients are linked to dishes recorded for Moldova and to this food concern. A link is a prompt to check the exact product, not a statement about every recipe.
Review Celery as the direct ingredient record. The catalogue also records celery in Beef broth and Chicken stock formulations, described as part of an aromatic or vegetable base.
Ask whether the specific broth or stock contains celery and whether a prepared version was used. Do not assume that straining or removing visible pieces answers what entered the recipe.
Ask the kitchen
Was celery used in this stock or broth?
Celery is used in some broth formulations as part of a vegetable base.
Celery is the ingredient itself.
Celery is a common aromatic in chicken stock formulations.
Recorded examples, recipes vary
Recorded recipes give you useful questions to ask. This is not a list of dishes declared suitable or unsuitable for every person.
Platesafe has no recorded celery connection for these dishes. This does not confirm they are free from celery. Recipes and preparation vary—check with the food provider.

Use the original packaging and full ingredient list when asking about a product. Ingredient pages contain recorded local names; check the language and the exact food form. A menu name alone does not describe the full recipe.
Check the exact food and its form. For celery, use the ingredient entries below to investigate recorded names. A name for a whole ingredient may not describe a powder, extract or mixed sauce. Confirm which product the kitchen uses.
Keep the original packet or a clear photograph available when asking for help. Ingredient recognition and a complete restaurant request are different tasks: a translated name alone does not explain the preparation you need.
Before you order
Contact the restaurant before your visit and explain your requirements to someone who can check the kitchen. Ask about the full recipe, bought-in ingredients and shared preparation equipment. These are general planning steps, not a claim about local restaurant practices.
For Ciorbă de fasole or Ciorbă de perișoare, ask whether celery is used as an aromatic and whether beef broth, chicken stock, or another prepared base is added.
For other dishes, ask about stocks, broths, vegetable bases, seasoning mixes, and garnishes. The catalogue records examples, not a complete restaurant menu or universal recipe.
Ask the kitchen
Which aromatic ingredients and bases are used?
Preparation questions should cover shared pots, ladles, strainers, chopping boards, knives, and storage containers that may contact celery. These questions are separate from asking whether celery is written into the recipe.
The supplied evidence does not describe Moldovan restaurant procedures. Ask what staff can confirm about the particular order, and do not rely on removing visible celery or tasting the dish.
Ask the kitchen
Can the kitchen describe the preparation equipment used?
Can you check the complete recipe and ingredient labels for celery, including sauces, garnishes and preparation equipment?
