Hey I bought a mahooosive £1.25p bag horse carrots the other week, we been munching on them now 4 ages.

A girl I know, who is like horsey type, says they are generally fresher than supermarket carrots, ne way I had em 4 me tea again 2night n they were lovely.

Gonna buy some more.

Only thing had few side effects on me mum, I caught her the other day wiv her head over the back fence eating straw and she asked me take her the blacksmiths for new shoes? CRAZY :D

nothing wrong with them, they are the ones the supermarkets refuse as they dont 'conform' to their spec, to big wrong shape etc

i normally blanch a load and use in caseroles etc....

i normally buy a 12.5kg bag/net for around the £2- £2.50 mark

yes, not a problem - especially for bulk cooking soup or casserole veg for later.

if youre going to eat that many, expect to go orange

nothing wrong with them at all, just either too big/small or wrong shape for supermarkets.

Whereabouts do you get them from, farmers shops?

I get mine from the local feed merchants. Also the local shop saves carrots that are past their best for us and often there's nothing wrog with them!!!
