A couple of years ago I experimented with about 7 or 8 different colors and varieties of carrots in my garden. The purple ones were beautiful, but lacked in flavor and texture. I have gone back to my tried and true varieties; all orange. That being said, I LOVE how your dish looks and I will be trying it to go with Sunday dinner.<br />Oh and P.S.: If I am not mistaken in my past research, carrots were originally purple or yellow. Ever noticed the purpleish hew that some carrots have near their top close to where the stem attaches (especially home grown carrots)?Terri @ that's some good cookin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08106372357195697284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-32127405760381330942011-07-15T12:01:28.225-04:002011-07-15T12:01:28.225-04:00What a truly stunning dish this is, Mary!

Could it be that we've become used to the super sweet varieties of veggies that they've developed recently? Corn tastes positively like candy to me now, and I'm not sure I like it. I tasted an heirloom tomato the other day that had a kind of grassy twang (not sure how to put in it words!) that I liked. It's how I remember tomatoes tasting. Your carrots look beautiful, but fibrous doesn't sound too appealing. I'll have to track some down and have a taste test.Sue/the view from great islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366703419148959445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-59260531063059229712011-07-13T17:20:14.321-04:002011-07-13T17:20:14.321-04:00Wow.. this is super good.. you could send this to ...Wow.. this is super good.. you could send this to my event..<br /><br /><a href="http://krithiskitchen.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://krithiskitchen.blogspot.com</a><br /><a href="http://krithiskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/06/announcing-serve-it-series-serve-it.html" rel="nofollow">Event: Serve It - Grilled/Barbequed/Tandoored</a>KrithisKitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722913118254818838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-46017692459325233992011-07-13T17:13:02.823-04:002011-07-13T17:13:02.823-04:00I have not seen such pretty carrots at my market, ...I have not seen such pretty carrots at my market, but I am so sorry to hear that the flavor did not match their color.
