Would *you* accept purple carrots?

Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.

Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.

Yes please I want my food looking like its grown in fae soil. My wife makes these purple potatoes that are magical.

I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don’t know about?

Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.

Yeah, I already buy the tri-colored carrots, and the purple are my favs.

Carrots used to be purple originally.

Purple is the old carrot. Orange is newer.

Yeah, my daughter loves purple color. So making mashed potatoes and adding in purple carrots would be kinda nice.

Yes, I’ve eaten them many times.

Fuck yeah. Multicoloured food is amazing

Why not? Always try new things. It’s not like the grocer will recommend poisons anyway.

Purple carrots have a better taste, in my opinion. Not perfectly interchangeable with the standard orange ones, so having the option for both would be nice

Are there any unsolved murders circling this grocer?

Imagine actually shopping for carrots 🤣

Purple carrot tastes great, has hints of parsley and lovage and also paints everything purple.

I used it mostly for chicken soup and it was great, also works good in other dishes.

I mean, green ketchup tastes exactly the same as red one, so I’m used to colour being somewhat meaningless. Same with clear cola.

Oh, I remember that question from a questionnaire I answered not too long ago. Because of the lack of choices (these kinds of questionnaires are often too narrow when it comes down to the amount of choices one can make), and because I can see the situation being less about a literal, eatable carrot and more about "receptivity to unexpected, novel things", I picked the "I'll try the purple ones" option back when I answered it.

Purple carrots are tasty, the white and yellow ones just as much as well!

You cannot fool me. There are no purple carrots. /s

I already did. The place I buy vegetables had purple carrots for a while, which cost more than orange carrots. I still bought them.

if i’m trying purple carrots its because the acid kicked in already so i wouldn’t mind

I really want to try purple cabbage
