Chinese celery (a leafy vegetable eaten for its leaves, because while it
does have stems it lacks the fleshy ribs of celery varieties such as
Pascal; check an Asian market) is probably the best substitute, but
ordinary celery leaves, especially the green outer ones when the produce
people haven't trimmed with extreme prejudice, makes a pretty good
substitute too. Failing those, in an emergency, I suppose you could use
celery seed. I guess what I'm trying to say is that lovage tastes like
celery... ;  )
