I was actually eating a carrot as I read that post.

As usual, rabbits have been ahead of us for years.

Ugh. I really hate carrots. Carrots and cauliflower are the only two vegetables I won't even taste.

And beans, but they aren't vegetables. They are little sacs filled with gritty paste.

It's true. There's quite a bit of pressure to grow carrots in our community garden. I've resisted because carrots are horrible, bitter things. I grew radishes instead.

But get ready local food bank: next year you're going to be trendy.

@4, Poor soul. Life becomes that much sadder each time you subtract a food (industrial food excluded) from your diet. Would life be worth living without beans, carrots and cauliflower (and who knows what else you don't eat)? I don't know ;) but if you lived in my house, you'd have to give it the minimum 3 bites try.

I love carrots, cauliflower, and beans. In fact, carrots are about my favorite vegetables.

If this carrot trend does anything to displace eggplant on menus, I'm all for it.

Raw carrots: fabulous. Cooked carrots: incredibly horrendous. It's a mystifying transmogrification.

@10, Boiled carrots perhaps but, from vichyssoise, jardiniere, etc to any kind of stew, cooked carrots are the opposite of horrendous. A leek should know better.

Wait. Brussels sprouts were really huge? Where was I? Oh, and they should have capitalized Brussels.

Is there not some way we could sell off the NYT's culture section to pay for the establishment of some kind of media outlet with two clues to rub together?

@4: "Little sacs filled with gritty paste": very apt, and exactly why I love beans ;)
If you don't like carrots, I propose that you've never had a good one.

Grilled carrot with cream cheese and bacon wrapped up like a hotdog. ./thread

I don't like carrots. I've tried. People say "try this carrot, it's sweet and delicious." It never is. A carrot always has that overwhelming beta carotene taste. Or, like drinking well water out of a garden hose.
