Random chance and human cultivation at a time when food was scarce

WYM carrots add sweetness. You can actually ruin a pea or potato soup if you add too many. Tastlet

og snack
good in japanese curry
good grilled

>>14636360
i said it doesn't add to a dish, I didn't say it couldn't ruin them which it very well can with the sweetness being a common reason.

>>14636355

Pickle it

Iirc, roasting these in a crockpot will help break down your meat/make it more tender.

Not sure if this is just an urban legend though but it works for me

>>14636363
This. Fatties should always have a bag of baby carrots to snack on. And they have a pH closer to neutral than a lot of foods, so they often help people with GERD and heartburn

>>14636375
>it doesn't add anything
>but it's too sweet if you add too many

>>14636485
Add in this context meant to change in a beneficial way. It can change a dish, but only to its detriment.

>>14636496
Or it can be the major part of a delicious dessert

>>14636597
Desert is gross tho.

>>14636598
*Dessert
Also I'll make an exception for cheesecake and key lime pie but that's it.

>>14636604
I try to remember that people want dessert so it has 2 s's

>>14636355
Carrots are really sweet. Sometimes you can't taste it if you are on the extremely overweight side.

i dump a bunch in my pizza sauce as a filler. is it good filler? are carrots good for me?

why do carrots have the greens cut off instead of shipped with, when you buy fresh ones that is? are they not edible? even if so that seems weird

oh yeah, i love pickled carrots and jalops on a cheese pizza, powerlevel 9000 mexican dad toppings

>>14637597
They are, but they are a pain in the ass.

>>14636355
Carrot Cake. I throw them in soups and stews too, I like the sweetness of them mixed with the savory broth. Put them in roasts too, but that's just a force of habit. One of the better root vegetables imo

>>14637597
Carrots are in the hemlock family, the greens aren't good for you. Look into queen Anne's lace for more info.

>>14636355
>be carrot cake
>exist

fuck u OP

>>14636355
They have texture and a subtle sweet flavor, also edible while crisp or soft while cooked. Has advantage on plenty of other things.

>>14636355
Cant make swedish rootmash without 'rots

>>14636355
I do not eat noxioous, foul-smelling diversity food like carrot's and brussal sprouts and bean's because I am not a looter or a feminazi. Triggered? Welcome to the homeland of freedom and personal responsibility, don't like it? Take it up with the founding fathers and the BIBLE. Daddy always told me, stupid games? Stupid prizes. Learn a trade. Quit your bullshit. Two foods: Steak. Whisky. Two genders: Adam. Eve. Facts don't care about your feelings. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go slash my own tires to own the libs.

Do Americans really larp like this?

Teach me how to become as based as you

>>14636355
Good fag, more carrots for me and my bun friend Bugs.

Shaved carrots in bulgogi and bimpap bowls are fuckin righteous, they quick pickle them and they become sweet and sour with a unique thin but crisp bite, based koreans

>>14636355
it’s good in stew and oxtail soup

OP is a tastelet.

>>14639239
Yes, and it's a lot of fun.

>>14636355
Carrot dipped in hummus is God-tier.

>>14636355
Have you never had slow roasted carrots? Every roast I do I stick carrots under. I've legitimately had mouth watering delicious roasts that even as the cook I had to admit were virtually perfect yet people have complimented how good the carrots are. I dunno if it's cause people expect carrots to be boring but people always seem to be surprised when carrots actually good when it's so fucking easy for them to taste good.

>>14636686
I don't get it

desert vs dessert

>>14640091
Yes but why would people wanting dessert mean that it has two s's

>>14636477

I’m not sure what the historical reason is in the US (not sure how they sell them elsewhere) but they sell lots of stuff without the edible greens, and it’s very disappointing that my store recently stopped selling organic carrots and beets with greens attached (conventional never has that). Root vegetables last a long time but their greens go bad more quickly, so that could be a major reason in a mass farmed and distributed market. Because of this they may have found a good alternative use for these greens for their (the farmer’s) purposes. But I’ve also heard some grocery stores cut them off and will give them to you if you ask. This sounds like something you could have done 20+ years ago though and just doesn’t seem possible outside of IGA grocery stores. You can make carrot top pesto, chimichurri, use them as greens in soup, blanch and shock then sauté them. They’re a little bitter but not anywhere as bitter as mustard greens.

>>14636355
Brainless. Why did OP even post? It's vapid, pointless and their thread didn't add anything to the board.

>>14640165
People want more dessert, so dessert wants more s's

>>14640410
Heh

>>14636355
....they are amazing in pretty much any stew and in japanese foods

>>14640361
so you would respond you fucking retard

Carrots make pretty good dildos. You can even carve the outside into ridges for extra pleasure.

>>14637596
it's not good for pizza sauce because pizza sauce should just be raw tomato and spices. carrots go in a ragu

>>14639239
Yes the left thinks this is kind of posting is hilarious.

>he doesn't know what soffritto/mirepoix is

pity him

>>14636355
I use them to replace the sugar and orange juice in my italian sauce.

>>14636485
Do Americans really?

>>14636355
OP confirmed tastelet

>>14637585
