As mentioned in BBC gardeners question time (28.02.20) as a good exotic vegetable to put into the 'Other Vegetable' category at Worplesden Village show.

Referred to in Homer's Odyssey as Selinon (though 'referred to', is all I can get from numerous sources.)

Celeriac- apparently an important ingredient in Puerto Rican Cooking. 

Parsley, carrot, parsnip, celeriac, anise, fennel, licorice, are all happy together.
