There are sad, deluded fools in the world who think my abhorrence of corn is irrational, so I'm not going criticise your carrot hating.
Many years ago (half a century and more), when I was a stroppy teenager, my family had a loose tradition that whoever was having a birthday chose the birthday dinner. One year, maybe 13 or 14 years old, I decided that what I really wanted was a plate of raw, shredded carrots with vinegar. What was I thinking?
Anyway, they duly prepared it but didn't partake themselves. It was good, but I sat there salivating at whatever they were eating. I still like carrots, but every time I eat them, I remember how embarrassingly stupid I was back then.
A few years later the tradition evolved into choosing which restaurant to eat in - one I kept up with my kids and they have carried on with my grand-kids. I don't think carrots have ever been a feature since my epic fail.
