Carrots are a vegetable that grows as a [[conical]] root in the ground, from which grows a green, leafy stalk. Carrots should not be eaten when still green (unripe). Various [[alcohol]]ic beverages can also be made from carrots, but it isn't recommended. |

===The Medieval Carrot=== |
|||
In modern times, carrots are [[orange]], but during medieval times, was (I believe) known to most people in antiquity as a white vegetable (like a turnip, but tasting like a carrot) but also (less common?) red, reddish black, orange, yellow and various other shadings were mentioned, especially in the late medieval period. |
|||
Various other medieval names exist for carrots, or that include carrots, eg |
|||
[[skirret]] (water parsnip), [[pasternak]]es (carrots or parsnip). |
|||
Carrots were eaten raw or cooked in medieval times. |

===Carrots in the SCA=== |
|||
While [[cloved]] carrots have been seen around the place, carrots are most often associated with [[St Ursula]], a tradition that dates back a few years to when the combined forces of St Ursula turned up to [[Festival]] with (almost) nothing to eat but that noble root. Carrots have since featured in the mythology of that college- St Ursula's carrot [[wallop]] should probably be avoided, depending on your need for [[alcohol]]. |
