    Kuroda carrot maybe.

      When I find big carrots they always end up woody and tough, definitely not as nice as smaller carrots. And you are telling me it’s a difference in type of carrots?

        Seems to be.

        Used to eat carrots out of my grandma’s farm when I was a wee lad. Have never found ones that taste the same.

        But there is now a Korean grocery store nearest to me and is been great to get different varietals and seeing what ingredients are like from other places just because they grow a different one.

        I’ve found the greenish part of the stem can go a bit further in some of the carrots which isn’t the most pleasant but it’s only been like one carrot that was like that, the rest were just a big ole tasty carrot. Surprisingly juicy compared to what I’m used to from the grocery stores I’ve gone to most of my life.

      I have a female friend who is of the opinion that dick size doesn’t matter because only the first few inches of the vaginal canal has erotic nerve endings. I’ve told her that dick size is like breast size: some people care more about it than others and it is a factor. She continues to deny it matters at all.

      I’m a guy of average size. I don’t have any insecurities about my junk. But I have enough experience and watched enough (realistic) porn that I know it matters, it’s just not a game breaker like some insecure men fear it is. That being said, size queens are a thing too.

        I have an ex who had her most sensitive spot about an inch in at the top. To her, it literally did not matter as long as one hit that spot.

        Yeah, it was a dumb joke because the carrot is jumbo. Dick size doesn’t matter. Even small dicks are fine. What actually matters is how frequently a guy goes down on a woman.

    Average Japanese carrot. And no, that’s not a joke. They’ve got the best carrots.

    Well yeah, they’re made to order. Probably forgot to enter a value in the quantity field and the system just defaulted to one, so instead of “2.5lbs, 10 carrots” ya got “2.5lbs, 1 carrot”. You know how much resources if takes to grow a 2.5lb carrot? It’s not a small amount. Wasteful, this is.

    Has that carrot been genetically modified?

    *Inb4 all plants are genetically modified, I mean via gene editing and not selective breeding

      bro, if we could edit the genes of foods to make them grow into huge sizes, i think we would hear from some scientific source that that’s now a possibility

    They did you a favor. The advantage is, you only have to peel One Carrot. And it’s not that hard to cut it up, you could even make carrot sticks and dice half of them for stew, or cut half and shred half for carrot salad. The sticks keep nicely in the fridge with a little cold water.

          In root vegetables, 80% of the vitamins are in the skin, and the flesh is nearly pure carbs. You’re throwing away most of the good stuff.

          I mean, that’s reason to wash it, but I don’t think there’s a medical argument for peeling. Could be wrong though, but I’ve never heard of this being a problem ever.

            Oh boy do I have bad news for you.

            Basically everything in your environment is covered in human poop.

            If you bring a carrot into your home it has way less poop on it than your toothbrush.

              Some, but not most. There’s significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.

          honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp

          what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly

        Same reason some people peel potatoes. I don’t bother myself, I just wash them (unless I’m eating the carrot fresh without cooking)

        I peel carrots because to me the peel tastes like dirt. As for that whole poop discussion, I’m pretty sure that guano in the soil is not the worst contaminant on the skin of the carrot. E. coli on vegetables for instance usually comes from the hands of someone who handled it. And many carrots have pesticides on them.

        I grant you that the skin probably also contains lots of vitamins, although there’s still plenty in the interior. And giving the carrot a really good scrub would get the skin clean.

        But I’ve never been able to scrub away the dirt flavor to my satisfaction. So I peel them with a carrot peeler. The existence of which indicates it’s a common enough behavior not to merit an interrobang.

        Though I do love an interrobang, so thanks.

        to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -

        if you get something into your bum fully, it’s very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you’re an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you’re penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in

          that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in

          And don’t believe your hiney can’t suck. Every ER will tell you some rather large objects that have made it in. Make that base 33% wider than the widest portion of the object, or 7.62cm diameter, whichever is greater.
