Wholly carrots

If we can have a beetroot thread we can have a carrot thread.

Today's major new story is the announcement that it is healthier to cook your carrots whole rather than sliced as they then contain more anti-cancer nutrients.

No doubt, we will soon be told to save power by eating more carrots so that we can see in the dark.

This story has probably been released to counter the belief being espoused by some of the BB contestants that unless the vegetables have been turned to mush, they are not cooked properly.

I can't stand mushy vegetables (outside peas). How many millions of brussel sprouts are destroyed each year through over-cooking. 8 minutes tops gives nice crisp nutty-flavoured sprouts, 8 hours yuk!

I've never tried mushy carrots though (and I'm not going to try).

Veggies should be steamed and then it doesn't matter if you cut them up first or not.

Long live Brussels Sprouts

Dobby, you could join the crew on that ship where the captain has banned brussel sprouts from the ship calling them the Devil's Food.

Me, I like them provided they are cooked properly.

I like all veg, if it's smothered in butter and salt. Green vegetables mashed up with carrots
and buttery potato is lovely.

The only vegetation I eat is the occasional blade of grass.

You want to be careful. Apparently too much salt and animal fats are bad for your circulatory system.
