Does anybody else love baby carrots?

[Wetzelbill]

I have never been much of a vegetable guy, but damn it if I am not addicted to baby carrots.

I usually bake them in the oven with boneless pork cutlets, spice them up with some salt, pepper and garlic, then lightly fry them in nonfat oil spray. After that I fry some rice, scramble an egg, cut up the meat and mix all of the ingredients together for pork fried rice. (I often steam some broccoli and toss it in too) Then just add some soy sauce to taste and it's good to go But the carrots are what make it, imho. They are so effing good it is sinful. :)

They are awesome for a quick snack too. Just get some ranch dip -or whatever you prefer- and there ya go.

I have eaten so many baby carrots in the last few months that I think my body is freaked out from actually eating something healthy, haha. :)

1. Yup, I like to eat 'em raw.

:9

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

2. is it bad to kill baby carrots I wonder?

:)

[sir_captain]

3. i don't think they're actually babies

i'm under the impression that they are just carrots that have been carved into that shape

[Wetzelbill]

6. I believe so

yes. :)

4. great snack food ... I was surprised

:) to learn that they are really not baby carrots as such, but 'whittled' down from larger ones. I really did think they were baby carrots :(

gullible. That's me.

:)

:hi:

5. hmmm...

I have some ocean front property in Arizona.... :)

No, actually, I wasn't sure if they were whittled down or actually genetically altered to be "babies" so I know what you mean.

[auntAgonist]

10. Arizona sounds good !

An ocean front property? .. I'm lovin' it :silly:


hey are you pullin' my leg? ? ? huh?

9. anyone who has ever peeled carrots

has GOT to appreciate baby carrots

but even though it says "pre washed " on the bag WASH THEM

same goes for pre washed salad greems

[Wetzelbill]

11. oh I always wash carrots

damn it. Except a little bit ago. I forgot too. Oops. :)

I buy regular carrots sometimes. Those things are a hugh pain in the ass. I think you hit on one of the primary appeals of baby carrots, the no peel factor. :)

[yellowdogintexas]

17. baby carrots are just too handy, I am into the no peeling needed

absolutely.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. I never wash my baby carrots or salad.

I've never gotten sick. I only buy organic though.

:shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

12. No sex threads!

Geez, you're kinkier than I thought! :rofl:

[Critters2]

13. My dog LVOES these

better than dog biscuits. The vet says they're better for her, too.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I Love them...they are so cute I want to SQUEEZE them!

...that doesn't go too well usually.... :yoiks:

[Broken_Hero]

15. yeah

baby carrots are great, one of my favorite diet snacking foods...:)

[RumpusCat]

16. I just finished eating a bag!

I have baby carrots every day with my lunch. I like them because they're very refreshing and crunchy. I hate cooked carrots, tho'.

They haven't done anything for my poor vision, sadly. :(

[Kajsa]

18. They are great!

It's the best snack to munch on at work.

:thumbsup:

[Ouabache]

19. They are ok, but I prefer BABY LIMA BEANS

I hope that doesn't make me a bad person.

[NMMNG]

20. Oh yes

They are delicious and amazingly versatile. Eat them right out of the bag, with dip, steamed, in a stir-fry, mixed with other veggies, in a salad, in soup or stew--the possibilities are pretty much limited only by your imagination.

[Redstone]

22. Hey! How you been? Long time, no talk.

23. Dayum, you are making me hungry.

I usually use baby carrots with potatoes, onions, and a nice beef roast in the slow cooker. Delicious if you ask me.

[fleabert]

24. i am addicted to them. So is Flea. she goes insane when she sees the bag

She has yet to refuse one, and I think she would eat them until she burst and her blood ran orange. ;-)

on edit- I forgot that I lost my avatar! No Flea for everyone to know wtf I am talking about...here she is...not eating a carrot, but gnawing on a bone, another favorite thing to do.

[fizzgig]

25. one of my favorite snacks

a bit of ranch, i'm happy

i love tossing them in with my roast, if i have a baked chicken or some pork chops i steam them and toss them into a pan with a bit of butter and brown sugar...

shit, now i'm hungry

[ashling]

26. In a skillet w/ olive oil

sprinle lightly w/ brown sugar and asliced peach (fresh if you've got it, canned ok)

I love 'em w/ peaches

[applegrove]

27. They sell well. And Hell if they are not really baby carrots.. but adult

carrots that have been cut down and molded to look like babies. Cause everyone loves a baby. A real baby carrot would have ridges on the outside and a stem in the centre. You sir have been mislead.

I like them too!

[wildhorses]

28. love 'em ...the perfect sensation of ....well....how would you

describe the tactile pleasure of biting into one? hmmmmmmmm?:evilgrin:

[gkdmaths]

29. They arent babies

They are adults that have been lathed. But they're still good.

go figure.
