    Asda.com (so pricing for my nearest supermarket) has:

    basic carrots for £0.43/kg
    premium "crunchy and sweet" carrots for £0.50/kg
    Chantenay carrots for £2.00/kg

    You're living on a different planet of carrots from me. A planet with different types of carrots instead of just "carrot".

    We've lost the art of carrots and shamed our ancestors.

    Whatevs I planted a bunch of those fun purple and orange and yellow carrots this year.

    I will remember the face of my father

    are YOU on the beer list?

    You can get rainbow carrots at Trader Joe's and whole foods, But as far as I can tell they taste exactly the same and aren't worth paying a dollar more for.

    So the US Air Force made this commercial a couple weeks ago...

    Opening line:

    The Earth is 70% water, and 30% land, but the entire sky belongs to us.

    I'm not saying that it was a pointed message to any persons or countries in particular but....
    They are paying to run it in theaters before Top Gun Maverick - a movie about US Navy pilots.

    lololol

    Either carrots come in tiny bags in the UK or somehow you've discovered nearly free carrots.

    I think the last bag of carrots I bought was 3 dollars.

    Carrots are one of the very cheapest staple crops here

    It's not uncommon to grow them as winter forage crops because it's vastly cheaper than animal feed

    You probably pay usurious prices for corn or onions or something there. Copium

    Roots and alliums are the cheap vegetable groups

    The expensive ones tend to be those that are glasshouse grown in the Netherlands

    I think a lot of people don't appreciate how visceral the experience of energy prices is if you're living in poverty

    I remember the experience of being stuck with a prepayment meter and thus being able to see the balance tick down in real time

    Just realised that this is kind of context free

    That twitter comment traces back to news stories about food banks reporting that people are turning down potatoes because they can't afford to run the appliances to cook them

    I am completely lacking in firepower so far in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

    It feels like my parter ‘mon is doing all the work and I’ve been left to tackle and mud slap and take hits for him

    Also the electrics in this dungeon hit like a truck

    Maybe I should restart…? That’s quitter talk. But I’m not that far in…

    The British get weird about other countries' bread but it's actually because UK bread is strange and they're not used to "real" bread

    The default bread here is made with low-gluten flour by the chorleywood method, which involves creating a kind of aerated foam which is then baked, instead of a dough which is risen with yeast

    So it's very consistent, doesn't readily crumb, and is much more neutral tasting than yeast breads

    Oh no, I can get 10 different kinds of cauliflower and 20 different kinds of potatoes and 40 different kinds of apples.

    For some reason carrots are like the 90s mushroom experience. It comes in one kind. And maybe sometimes it comes in another kind but that kind is basically the same as the first one looks a little different, but 1 dollar more and tastes the same.

    Grass, hay, and root forage crops

    The UK farming industry gets quite upset whenever there's stuff about the carbon footprint of red meat, because UK farmed meat is vastly less carbon intensive than in the US where most of the talking points originate, plus it tends to use marginal land that wouldn't support arable crops without some very intensive farming methods
