Only 1 belongs and the other is an interloper promoted by California growers

That may well be but celery and carrots have been historically used because they are cheap filler. The other day I had meatloaf with carrots and celery and a good 20 years ago store bought marinara (red sauce for pasta) started showing up with carrots and celery. My Italian granny would be spinning in her grave.
We may have been poor but at least our family never used carrots or celery for filler.
To me the Louisiana trinity is garlic, onion, and hot peppers. My part of the family from the triangle had all 3 in almost everything they made. Home grown whenever possible. My grampy had thread strung all around the kitchen with the peppers he grew drying and popped them off the thread right in the pot when cooking.
