Let's talk about carrots.

[Rhodisia]

sweet?....maybe its just me or the farming methods but i didnt get anything remotely related to sweetness from carrots. just really bitter. first time i ate one as a kid i gagged.

Probably farming methods, because the carrots I grow and the carrots I find at the supermarket are usually mildly sweet.

[Dakini]

No they don't. Carrots are pretty distinctly sweet by themselves.

Then you must be a carrot lover.

When I was a kid, I would just take whole carrots and eat them raw.

Now I'm more likely to cut them up and eat them raw because I don't have to keep putting down most of a carrot to do other things (plus now, I can safely use sharp knives) or to cram them into almost everything I cook.

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

No. Aspartame has a disgusting aftertaste and generally tastes like shit. Carrots do not taste like that. I don't know what's wrong with the carrots you're eating, but they don't taste like that at all.

Carrots make me horny. Hey yankie, you want boom-boom. Ummm, really cheap yankie.

I would post a picture of a penis shaped carrot, but I don't want to get banned.

[Eastern Equestria]

I prefer my carrots cold, crisp, and smothered in dressing. I also love carrot cake.

This thread must be lock down for promoting carrot genocide!

Good. I don't want to think that anything in the shape of a penis looks delicious.

[Dakini]

Seriously, what other vegetable can you make a dessert out of that would taste even half as a good?

Pumpkin. Fresh sweetcorn (pamonha <3).

Pumpkin is a fruit, corn is a grain.

It depends on soil and cultivation use and variety and...

Rockets (arugula) in Angra dos Reis are awesome, are nice in Niterói, are okay in Rio, and are bitter abrasive in Nova Iguaçu. Lettuce and watercress have similar patterns, albeit they are more uniformly bland, and also much less delicious than rockets.

is it genocide if their sole purpose is to be eaten?

[Chungking]

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.

UNLESS said carrots are pickled....

In which case, pile 'em on!!

It violates carrots' civil rights. *nod nod*

It's not genocide! On the contrary, I think I speak for all of here when I say that we want to ensure the continuance of the Apiaceae Family, not wipe them out!

Our desire to eat gratuitous amounts of carrots means that we will make sure they never, never die.

I predict the carrot will outlive the human race!

And whatever bizarre species of crow or raccoon or what have you that succeeds us will feast on carrots and realize their awesomeness, just as our ancestors did before us!

It's where the plant stores a lot of sugar, so yes, carrots are generally a bit sweet. Just like beets.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

No. Aspartame has a disgusting aftertaste and generally tastes like shit. Carrots do not taste like that. I don't know what's wrong with the carrots you're eating, but they don't taste like that at all.

Indeed. Only dark leafy vegetables and beetroot taste normal where I live, really. Onions taste sweeter, but they're much more abrasive. In some seasons, cutting them can make anybody else in the house cry, doesn't matter if they are in a really distant room.

Vegetables prepared by restaurants in central Rio are all awesome compared to our produce.

........could it be?...carrots caused evolution because their beauty and usefulness aided in creating civilization and can cause other animals to evolve upon discovering them!?!?!?.......nahhhhhh.....unless, e.o

Unless the perfection of carrots themselves disproves evolution.

If Kirk Cameron had used a carrot instead of a banana, the whole world would be evangelical Christian, even Richard Dawkins.

As it stands, I think it's quite clear that the universe was created by a Cosmic Carrot who transcends space and time.

Carrots remind of my life.
Never trust a crocodile.

[Alliir]

When I have carrots around the house, I'll occasionally gnaw on one for a few minutes. I've never been a fan of carrots by themselves, though I love them in canned chicken soup.
So yeah. Carrots.
