I also like eat carrots. I like it how ever it serve, make it fresh or cook. I like with menudo, with afritada, with mechado, with caldereta etc.. I like it because I know carrots are one of the healthy vegetables that rich in vitamin A. We need to eat carrots everyday to maintain our good eye sights..

I like fresh and cooked carrots. I like to eat raw carrots with dip. When I cook carrots, I cook them in butter and seasoning salt. Then, I cook them on the stove until they are soft and well cooked. They are delicious this way. I also like to eat them in mixed vegetables. I have had them a few times with cheese sauce over them.

The favourite way is carrot cake for me! That is absolutely delicious! But I also love eating raw carrots, when I am feeling peckish or need a snack if I nibble on a carrot it is far more healthier than nibbling on a chocolate bar or eating biscuits! Carrots are very versatile, in the Summer I have a big salad and carrots grown from the garden are always included. There's something tasty about homegrown carrots compared to shop bought ones!

I do eat carrots for my meals weekly as part of my diet, but usually I like them cooked. So I get my maid to add them into chicken stew. At times, we also cook them with stir-fried pork, but more like a garnish. Occasionally, we will eat them raw as part of a salad. We'll either eat it together with lettuce and onions, topped with salad dressing, or we'll pickle the carrots with cabbage and cucumber. Either way, they are quite inviting to eat as part of a dish. Carrots have lots of vitamins and are good for health. I came across a cartoon once on the subject of eating carrots. The mother tried to persuade her child to eat carrots. She told him that carrots were good for his eyes, and the kid asks "How do you know?" The mother responded "Well, have you ever seen any rabbits wearing spectacles?".

Yes, I love carrots. I like to eat it fresh and cooked. When it is fresh, I will dip it into Ranch Dressing. When they are cooked, I love to eat the honey carrots. These are so delicious. This Japanese Restaraunt that I go sometimes, makes some delicious sweet honey carrots.. I try to make them the way that they do it. But, I just can't They have their own special way of cooking this. Yes, I love carrots. They are healthy and delicious!!

I love to eat carrots and always have some in my fridge ready to eat. I buy the ones with the tops still on because they taste really delicious. I always eat raw carrots because they are crunchy and tasty. I wash them before I eat them or peal them if necessary. I chop the green top of before I eat them. Carrots go well as part of a salad. Yum, yum.

Hi there Margarit! I like carrots. I like it mixed with different viands like Menudo, Mechado, and others. I also like it fresh mixed with my vegetable salad. My mother used to tell me that it's really good for the eyes.

No I never did like carrots but I remember a story about a woman who had cancer. She heard eatting alot of carrots could cure cancer. When she went to the doctor and had an x-ray and the inside of her body looked orange.

Hi Margarit, I either take them raw for salad, or cook them in soups. I would add sliced carrots, potatoes and onions,red dates, pork or chicken and water, and boil in a slow-cooker for 4-5 hours.
