Carrots are morons.

[Andy in Sig]

Tonight I made salmon in a Thai curry sauce and decided to serve it up with carrots and peas on tagliatelle (no harm in being a bit international). So I emptied a jar of carrots and peas into a bowl and popped them in the microwave and one of the carrots exploded!! Literally exploded. The inside of the microwave looked like the set of a low budget, far eastern vegan horror film. Then it occurred to me that the German word for carrots is Mohren. This is obviously a medaeval typo for moron, therefore you may safely refer to the tapered orange things as morons from now on.

I am now going to console myself with a glass of wine and a murder story on the balcony, which at least reassuringly shows that grapes are not morons.

1. what on earth were using canned carrots for?
2. why were you using a microwave when stir-frying would make more sense?
3. are you trying to be bonj?

1. They were from a jar which was lying around in the cupboard and the decision was a spur of the moment thing.

2. Stir frying things out of a jar could have turned out yucky.

3. I don't think I've got the talent.

But the Salmon filet a la Thai was brilliant (all fresh ingredients too).

No 3 was the first thing to enter my mind!

Canned carrots. Bleurgh.

Point of order Mr Speaker: they were jarred carrots. I may have to try fresh next time as the dish was a success on the whole.

 

[Chuffy]

Jar or can, same difference. You still have vile soggy carrots in your cupboard.

Fresh or not at all.

Yuck, tinned carrots, reminds me of school dinners

I suppose I could get married then the chance of fresh carrots would increase.

So many questions, so many innuendos but not enough time, tea calls.

Were they baby carrots and petit pois in a jar?

Used to have them as a student, very handy for the single man. Must look out for them in Aldi or Lidl.

Sink the bottle of Blue Nun and everything will be fine.

That's just uncalled for.

Hit a nerve?

Microwaving canned carrots. You were lucky to get away with an exploded carrot. Don't you realise that you could have torn apart the entire fabric of the universe. Then you would have been sorry. You would have had nowhere to ride your bike for starters.

You are toying with the unknown.....be warned
