Carrots

[Silverback]

OK, I have to say it. If your carrots look like this:

They are nasty, tasteless, rabbit turds.

I cooked with a girl on Friday night and stupid me I actually peeled and cut whole carrots and she was shocked. She loved them. It was like she did not know what carrots tasted like.

I rarely get those little bagged carrots and the only thing that makes them tolerable is an unhealthy amount of ranch dressing.

I am shocked people cannot cut their own carrots anymore.

theyre not that bad actually.

All I am saying is buy one carrot from Whole Foods or a pound of carrots at the Super Food Mart and peel them, cut them and eat them. The difference is amazing. Those little things have no taste next to the little mass produced ones. IMHO.

oh i know. but sometimes out of inconvenience i can put up with it as they kind of look at me weird if i am peeling carrots in the office kitchen

Dude, I peel like two pounds and they last a while. I have taken them to work before in a baggie.

BTW, I also put sliced carrots in my red sauce. I heard it is supposed to tone down the acidity.

Dude, I keep a bone china service for two at work, with silverware and glassware. They look at me funny too, but so what? When we have office potlucks, I bring baby beef wellingtons and they stop looking at me funny. ~ H

I LOVE carrots.

Oh, and buy organic carrots. They taste better.

I don't rinse or peel my carrots. I even eat the dirty bit at the end. I have no mutations yet

 

[JayJay]

I'm also a fan of freshly squeezed carrot juice.

Organic carrots really do taste better.

At cooking school, they are really fanatical about peeling. I still sometimes do roasted carrots without peeling, I think it gives them a more rustic taste and look.

Dudes. +1 on organic carrots actually tasting like....carrots.

My mother made some amazing carrots the other night. Oh man. Sauteed with a little bit of butter, a dash of sugar, dash of nutmeg, and cinnamon. Unreal.
