Do you like your carrots raw or cooked?

I like them better when they're raw baby carrots. I don't care for that cooked carrot taste. I do like candy carrots when they're prepared just right, though. They're not my favorite vegetable, but I eat them because they're supposed to be good for your eyesight.

Yeah, I don't really care much for cooked carrots in beef stew. I'm not real big on beef stew, either. Just give me a hamburger and I'm happy! Heh heh. I don't mind shredded carrots on salad, but I don't like raw carrots on salad. Kind of funny. I like raisins, sunflower seeds, eggs, soy nuts, croutons, broccoli, ham, chicken, bacos, tomatoes and ranch dressing on my salad.

I loved cooked carrots! I can make a form of candied carrots, but I also love them with just butter and salt. I do eat them raw occasionally, but I have to be careful of my teeth.

Yes, they do take awhile to eat.

I don't like cooked carrots.I am in the habit of taking a couple of raw carrots after the lunch every day for quite some years.I still remember the days when I went to the backyard of the house in our estate to pull out the carrots from the ground and to eat.Of curse after washing it throughly.

I like raw carrots dipped in rance dressing. I like cooked carrots in stew or as creamed carrots with bacon those are wonderful but very fatteing and not very good for you.

I like the baby carrots too. I do like them cooked, if they're cooked right. They're too good, and they are great for eyesight :)

I love carrots raw, they are a lot tastier when they are raw. But if I have to have them cooked then I prefer little baby ones as they are a lot sweeter.

Hmm...I don't think I've had the baby ones cooked. I still prefer raw.

ll of my life I have prefered to eat raw carrots as opposed to cooked ones. I think that raw carrots have a better texture and a better flavour. I especially like the little baby carrots, on a plate with other vegetables and vegetable dip.

I do like raw carrots and when I was a teen my skin pigmentation began to turn orange for all the carrots that I consumed. But, I find there is something really special and tasty about carrots cooked tender crisp - when they are fresh cooked and not from canned. canned carrots turn on my gag reflex.
