Imagine actually shopping for carrots ๐คฃ
This post was brought to you by Texture Issues Gang ๐ช
Which way? For me cooked carrots are horrific just like mushrooms. Good raws are super nice and crunchy.
The texture issue is with cooked carrots. However, I also don't like how carrots taste. Fresh fruits and vegetables in general, actually. Literally the fresher they are, the more they taste like themselves, so I'm one of the only people alive who prefers vegetables from fast food places ๐
I feel you on the mushroom texture, but still, cooked mushrooms are my favorite """vegetable""" by a country mile. Like the texture sucks, but it's a savory vegetable. It's the cool vegetable. The rest "taste like veggies" to me. ๐คฎ Like I really owe mushrooms an apology for not eating them for the first half of my life.
Wow yea that is a frustrating position to be in. When you have a taste that is physically unpleasant, it really makes it inedible. Worse if others can't taste it, as I feel half don't believe it could taste different.
I can imagine boiling carrots in a stew or in the beans. Or thoroughly steamed. Or roasted with potatoes
Yeah, I like carrots in my soup.
