Sure. I'll also accept purple and red sweet potatoes.

I grow carrots of multiple colors all year round. They honestly all taste the same.

Carrots used to be purple originally.

Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.

Why not?

Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.

You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?

There’s a purple carrot in my fridge right now…

I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don't know about?

Thank you for reminding me that I should try the purple carrots stashed away in my fridge.

I dunno, I tried purple potatoes once and they were pretty awful.

I have grown orange, yellow, and purple carrots. They are all yummy.

What’s up, doc?

Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that's become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.

Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.

Yes please I want my food looking like its grown in fae soil. My wife makes these purple potatoes that are magical.

I have and they are delicious

Yeah, I already buy the tri-colored carrots, and the purple are my favs.

Imagine actually shopping for carrots 🤣

Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.

Purple is the old carrot. Orange is newer.

I already did. The place I buy vegetables had purple carrots for a while, which cost more than orange carrots. I still bought them.

Yeah, my daughter loves purple color. So making mashed potatoes and adding in purple carrots would be kinda nice.

I've had them. Well. We bought some and the very next day they were already limp and wet and grody. So maybe next batch will be better?

Fuck yeah. Multicoloured food is amazing

Yes, I've eaten them many times.

I mean, green ketchup tastes exactly the same as red one, so I'm used to colour being somewhat meaningless. Same with clear cola.

Yuck, natural carrots? That's gross!

/s of course

Why not? Always try new things. It's not like the grocer will recommend poisons anyway.

Purple carrot tastes great, has hints of parsley and lovage and also paints everything purple.

I used it mostly for chicken soup and it was great, also works good in other dishes.

Purple carrots have a better taste, in my opinion. Not perfectly interchangeable with the standard orange ones, so having the option for both would be nice

Are there any unsolved murders circling this grocer?

You cannot fool me. There are no purple carrots. /s
