Well, at least one piece is beef! It's mostly potatoes. I love potatoes. Also homemade beef neck stock!

It’s surprising how much carrot shows up in everything.

Dark gods yes! I used to eat carrots daily as a young man and I miss the taste of it, but Goddam it's impossible to get away from. It's a cheap filler so it's in every frikking ready-to-eat meal and most salads, it somehow shows up in currys and in sweet & sour sauces, both places where carrot originally should not show up. I'm lucky I don't react to carrotin because that's used as red food coloring everywhere.

So yes, I had to resort to making my own soups and stocks. It's a good thing I have always enjoyed cooking because it's become a necessity just to avoid daily cramping and diarrhea, because practically every other soup is made with carrots, at least in the broth. I imagine it's similar with chicken broth. (Which I also usually stay away from, because it's often based on a vegetable broth).
