I love baby carrots, but I HATE them cooked. In any way, shape or form.

Why do they put cooked carrots in otherwise delicious food?

:(

I don't mind them so much anymore, but I could not stand them as a child and young adult. and they seem to put them in everything.

Because carrots are good for you sweetie baby. You need to eat your carrots so you grow tall and strong. (That's what I said to "Miles" this very evening.)

Ooooh, I like them -- more so cut up full sized ones, though, rather than the baby ones. They're sweet. :)

I love raw carrots, once in a while I will eat them cooked.

Have you had glazed carrots?? Now THOSE are delicious.

Will agrees that the flavor of a carrot changes when you cook it. Carrots, celery, onions.... the flavor just instantly changes.

Me, I like carrots any way I can get em.

Carrots are a natural sweetner. Shave them into thin strips with a potato peeler and add the shavings to spaghetti sauce instead of sugar.

I love carrots cooked in honey and real butter. I cut up a carrot or two into disks put into a dish, drizzle honey over them (quite a bit) slap on some butter, cover with saran wrap and put in the micro wave for about 7 minutes. A wonderful side dish.

If you eat too many carrots, your skin will turn an orange color, but I doubt you'll ever have that problem.

Cooked carrots have nutrients that aren't adsorbed in raw ones.

I love raw peppers; hate cooked unless very small and not the lead ingredient...
bad in stir fry; ok in pasta sauce...

flip side - I love cooked mushrooms, hate them raw...

It's OK - don't eat cooked carrots. I like them, but understand you can have your own food funny bone.
