carrot day


A natural carrot top Archie or a created one by covering the greys with mehendi. Carrots are great, good for your eyes, good for your skin blah! Blah! Even the nursery rhyme goes carrot stew.

As a ritual it is a take off on a medieval ritual where carrot pudding was enjoyed. Europeans brought carrot to America and the ritual was revived in the 20th century with carrot cake and cream cheese frosting. Earliest recipe of this is recorded in a 1960 recipe book.
I was thinking of the Indian adaptation of this vegetable into kosumbari the dry salad,Rasam and Halwa.
