    I grow carrots of multiple colors all year round. They honestly all taste the same.

    You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?

    Thank you for reminding me that I should try the purple carrots stashed away in my fridge.

    Carrots used to be purple originally.

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

      Leave it to the Dutch to standardise your food until everything is mediocre

    Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.

    Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.

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

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