.... random rants and rambles. no agenda. yet.

Reminds me of the time when Rach asked me: "Why do people plant weeds?" (!!!!!!!!)

What was wrong with the carrot in the first place!?

There was nothing wrong with it!
I was comparing it to it's paler and less tasty cousin, the Morrison's prepacked carrot. (Different breed, see!)
Maybe it was a guard carrot (as opposed to a lap carrot, a toy carrot, a sheep carrot or a gun carrot)! Either way, it was big and tasty and organic and ORANGE and carrotty!!

Re Carrots, they are a weed and a whole rainbow of colours, I grew some purple ones once (soon to be featured on things that annoy me, no doubt!) Happy Friday
:Carrots
(Daucus Carota)
Native to Afghanistan, carrots were known to both the Greeks and Romans. In fact, the Greeks called the carrot "Philtron" and used it as a love medicine--making men more ardent and women more yielding. The Roman emperor Caligula, believing these stories, forced the whole Roman Senate to eat carrots so he could see them "in rut like wild beasts."

In Holland, the original red, purple, black, yellow, and white varietals were hybridized to today's bright orange, with its potent dose of beta carotene.

Interesting Fact About Carrots:
The carrot is a highly refined version of a common weed, Queen Anne's lace. Both plants originated in the Middle East.
So there you go

Blimey!! Sometimes I worry about those who read my blog. This has just confirmed my fears!!
