@crazybutable My favorite version of Japanese curry features large hunks of carrot cooked velvety tender. Very toothy & satisfying. I can't get that from regular supermarket carrots, which tend to cook to mush. The massive carrots also work so much better for julienning on my mandoline. Regular carrots get about 2 swipes and they're done.

@rekiwi huh I have been optimizing my carrot purchases for eating raw and haven’t been thinking about large carrots as being desirable for anything
