Sue made a roast this week.
It was scrumptious.
The meat was tender, and the roasted potatoes were excellent, as was the gravy.
The carrots too.
They were roasted to perfection, which means that there was some blackening.
At this stage they don't even taste like carrots, which is why I like them, and the only way that I like carrots.
Carrots must not taste like carrots according to my weird little taste buds.
Oddly enough, raw is the only way that my grandson will eat them, so if we have him over for a meal like this, Sue gives his weird, little taste buds a side dish of uncooked carrots.
Of course, this ↓ is how they should look although a little blacker would also be fine.
I'll take them either way...though with my remaining toothies, I guess cooked somehow would help! Shredded raw is the latest purchase of carrots in this house...to be added to salads, stir fry, and who knows, maybe even soups.
ReplyDeleteI like roasted carrots too.
ReplyDeleteThe garden carrots I pulled this week are so good.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum used to tsk tsk about my kids not wanting to eat cooked veg. They would eat practically anything, in great quantity, as long as they were raw. She was of that old school "cook it till it's dead" mindset.
I eat both but much prefer cooked carrots!
ReplyDeleteI like carrots almost any way they're prepared.
ReplyDeleteMy kids only like them raw. I like them only two ways, hot or cold.
ReplyDeleteI love them well roasted too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a roast in ages. Those carrots look to die for!
ReplyDeleteIs that a type in your post title or did you mean to type it as Vuds?
ReplyDeleteI bet carrots cooked like that taste so very sweet and that's why you like them.
These look so gorgeous to taste!
ReplyDeleteI love carrots just about any way except raw.
ReplyDeleteToasted vegetables are so good although I like raw carrots too.
ReplyDeleteThe carrots must be a little mushy, too, from soaking up all the magnificent roast juice.
ReplyDeleteI like carrots in virtually any form. The roasted/blackened carrots DO look very tasty!

You and the grandson are like Jack Spratt and his wife. I will take carrots any way I can get them - those look amazingly delicious, and well portrayed, in addition.
ReplyDeleteActually, I like carrots cooked any ol' way. Raw is OK, IF there is a dip. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe all have taste preferences.... makes cooking difficult! My daughter hates carrots in all forms, they apparently have an offensive flavour to her. I prefer them raw because cooked in any way, they are too sweet for my liking. When roasted, I also like them better charred.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done a roast in ages.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about carrots. I loathe them raw!
Those do look scrumptious. Erica and Chad ordered a new-parents "celebratory meal" as advertised by the hospital, the day after Jack Elliot's birth. Their taste buds were anticipating steak with scalloped potatoes and some vegetable that was not carrots. What they got was a tiny bowl of steak bits (which Erica devoured and said were actually very good though the portion was scant), plus PLAIN white rice with zero seasoning, and baby carrots that I am not kidding (I saw them) had been dumped out of a bag and steamed for perhaps one minute (still mostly raw) and seasoned not one single bit. It was so pathetic, we had to laugh. Accompanying this meager repast was a polite pre-printed note that we figure goes onto every such tray. It explained that they'd had to make substitutions to some of the items ordered and they hoped it would be okay. This after Chad ordering by phone and the person taking said order not making a peep about there not being a single scalloped potato on the premises. Or maybe other new parents got them all. In all other ways the hospital was great. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI prefer carrots boiled, and garnished with nutmeg.
