Yes.

They are nice eaten plain and boiled with salt to me, but not without rice.

White rice + boiled potatoes followed by brown rice + boiled potatoes the following day is the ideal food after I abused my liver.

We rape, enslave, and conquer with no regards to others. We live by the sword, and we will, justifiably, die by the sword.

I like carrots because, when combined with gold, they make horses breed.
Also they make invisibility and night vision potions.

That sweetness is really annoying to me. It's rather reminiscent of aspartame, or sucralose.

Try Japanese Mayonnaise. It's much lighter.

No, the Mayonnaise here is about the same. It might be a touch thinner, but I don't really think so.

The ketchup is different though (it's a lot sweeter than what you typically find in North America).

You really need to add fatty stuff with a hint of umami and a starch.

With me it's butter + rice, or mayonnaise + eggs + potatoes.

I absolutely hate mayonnaise!


So don't use mayonnaise. I like mayonnaise on ham or turkey sandwiches, but I don't think it goes with carrots. Carrots are for stir fry or stew, not sandwiches.

Sometimes, I like to lay on the floor and pretend I'm a carrot.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Carrot cake is good. I went through a phase of being obsessed with it when I was a kid.

Really? The stuff I get at my Asian local market tastes totally different.

Here's a recipe for Japanese style mayo and an article discussing the difference.
