Carrots

I'm thinking perhaps those are the extra long and pointy carrots(?) (Now why would anyone think it is a joke? Or less than serious question?) .. I tried googling it, but all I got was stories of dangling the carrot to get the donkey to move..

I have never heard of donkey carrots. I tried to do an internet search but all I could come up with was carrots on a stick to get a donkey to move. I'll bet that as some one else wrote they are over sized carrot and wouldn't taste very good. I think your best bet is to ask the person selling the carrots. They more than like can be eaten by people. Most vegetables than are fed to animals can also be consumed by humans.

It is peoples invention to make donkey running. The carrot is tied to the end of a rope attached to a stick. The carrot would dangle in front of the donkey,donkey can see it but not to reach it. Donkey can run really fast to reach the carrot, but never will....

I have never heard of Donkey carrots before, but I am assuming they are ones that you would feed to the animals. I am sure they would be safe for humans to eat, you would just need to clean them up a but more. They are probably just older carrots that are not pretty enough to be sold for regular purposes.

Seriously... a human would have to be an as* to eat donkey carrots.;-) cd

I think they must be for Donkeys, horses and ponies. My daughters have ponies and you can buy older and bruised fruit for them at cheaper prices. I would say we certainly could eat these too if you wanted to Anne.

Donkey carrots?? I have not heard nor seen them before.. Are u sure there's a donkey carrot?? How does it look like and is the color and everything the same as a normal carrot?? Why dun u ask the farm owner instead about the difference since u saw it there?? I dun think i have came across any donkey carrot in singapore.. UNless, donkey carrot belong to the more expensive type??

I have not heard of Donkey carrots. I wonder if they may be like bags of carrots that are sold around here for feeding the deer. They are perfectly good carrots but are overgrown or overripe and maybe not top quality. They are cheaper because of this and sold in large quantities to feed to wildlife. Not sure about your donkey carrots though. I would definitely ask at the store.
