Sure. I’ll also accept purple and red sweet potatoes.
What’s up, doc?
What is down, doctor? ****
- BugsBunny after purple carrots
Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.
Those God damn dastardly Dutch
Leave it to the Dutch to standardise your food until everything is mediocre
Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.
Carrots used to be purple originally.
I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don’t know about?
Yes please I want my food looking like its grown in fae soil. My wife makes these purple potatoes that are magical.
… really? I’m bad at getting sarcasm.
Purple potatoes are very real.
They’re extra cool to make mashed potatoes, fries, or chips with.
More antioxidants and slower increase in blood sugar than ordinary potatoes.
You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?
Yeah, I already buy the tri-colored carrots, and the purple are my favs.
Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.
Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.
Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.
Purple is the old carrot. Orange is newer.

Imagine actually shopping for carrots 🤣

Which way? For me cooked carrots are horrific just like mushrooms. Good raws are super nice and crunchy.
The texture issue is with cooked carrots. However, I also don’t like how carrots taste. Fresh fruits and vegetables in general, actually. Literally the fresher they are, the more they taste like themselves, so I’m one of the only people alive who prefers vegetables from fast food places 🙃
mushrooms
I feel you on the mushroom texture, but still, cooked mushrooms are my favorite “”“vegetable”“” by a country mile. Like the texture sucks, but it’s a savory vegetable. It’s the cool vegetable. The rest “taste like veggies” to me. 🤮 Like I really owe mushrooms an apology for not eating them for the first half of my life.
Wow yea that is a frustrating position to be in. When you have a taste that is physically unpleasant, it really makes it inedible. Worse if others can’t taste it, as I feel half don’t believe it could taste different.
I can imagine boiling carrots in a stew or in the beans. Or thoroughly steamed. Or roasted with potatoes
Yeah, I like carrots in my soup.
I have and they are delicious
