I'll tell you something. I once lived in a social centre. I'd be sat in the kitchen trying to have breakfast and read the paper, and some random stranger would wander in off the street and start banging on about this or that. It gets old pretty fast. I guess it must be similar to have a popular blog. Except it's harder to tell when someones being snarky. :p ah, fair play to you, sir.

About half of carrots are not the standard rod, and maybe 15% or 20% look quite anatomical - including feet, torsos, octopi, "junk", and so on. The reason you don't see them more often is because squeamish consumers won't buy them. Some get juiced, some get chopped, but a whole lot get thrown away. Even farmers who want to sell them often can't find a buyer. The whole situation is pretty criminal in my opinion. On the positive side, if you don't mind unique carrots, you can get them practically for free if you know some local farmers. This goes for other veggies too, particularly root vegetables.
