Carrots are morons.

Hit a nerve?

It's probably Army slang for a night of depravity in the showers. You know what these military types are like...

As an aside, why did the carrots explode? I've cooked fresh carrots in the micro without any big bangs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed you have because the wine in question is a 2006 Detzemer Maximiner Klosterlay Riesling Spatlese from the Mosel and the very mention of B*** N** nearly made me spill some.

That is the key question which all the Egon Ronays on here have so far failed to address. I could sort of imagine a pea exploding, but a carrot ...???!!!.

Probably a very singular conjunction of moisture content and sugars or something.

I agree, tinned, jarred or frozen carrots, ugh! How do they get them to be soggy on the outside, and hard in the middle like they are?

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.

Well, being as Carrot in Welsh is Moron I do

Did you mislay a ¨?

I once spent ages in a newsagents/ grocer studying various tins of carrots as if unable to decide which one to go for, while rather inebriated. I thought it all very funny at the time until I woke up next day with a tin of "Happy Shopper " carrots lying next to me.

Honest? That's not a wind up? I haven't a clue why but that gives me a feeling of deep vindication.

Helen,

you can mislay anything if people make allegations like that.

 

[papercorn2000]

Woo! Did you know that carrot in Welsh is "moron"! I kid you not!

 

[papercorn2000]

Oh, bollox!
