To be fair, they were probably about the best carrots I have ever eaten.
I’m pretty drunk so I can’t remember the coating they put on them. Some kind of ground pistachio, oil, and something something else.
The dichotomy of vegetarian food… vegetables are the sorriest of food types, but the people who eat them exclusively come up with amazing accoutrements to make them palatable.
Drunk anything tastes 100x+ better.
As a mostly carnivore/hunter as I aged I did start to enjoy the vegetarian take on some foods.
Tofu, I had no love for it until someone made me spicy (sriracha/Thia chillis) crispy tofu. ITS TO DIE FOR! Now its going to make your brown eye, well bruised but amazing.
Also don’t buy from grocery stores, Asian\Latino markets are the place. The veggies last a week or 2 longer than Kroger.
Now I need brussel sprouts and Sunomono…
When I went strict keto for a few years I ended up eating way more veggies than ever before.
