I make, however, a kick-ass curried carrot soup which I absolutely love. And I have very fond memory of eating carottes râpées as a child - I would never tire of them. <BR/><BR/>I got for Christmas an electric grater that will grate carrots - my boyfriend has to bring it to me from Indianapolis, so I don't have it at home yet, but I will definitely make carottes râpées once it gets here!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397908781677596824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20124677.post-11959316151241652432009-01-22T20:36:00.000+01:002009-01-22T20:36:00.000+01:00Cassoulet -- A lot of French people are turned off...Cassoulet -- A lot of French people are turned off by the idea of carrot cake. But you are American, aren't you? I've never heard of any American not liking it, but everyone has their own tastes of course! Maybe it just means you're French at heart...Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20124677.post-12942197000202979082009-01-22T03:04:00.000+01:002009-01-22T03:04:00.000+01:00I hate carrot cake.

You can too, can't you?? <BR/><BR/>I love carrots - roasted with or without cumin, steamed until they're al dente, to dip into houmous, in home made (less mayo) coleslaw and in carrot cake - yum!

I can't imagine buying them! I mean, how long does it take to peel and grate some carrots? <BR/>Love the idea of the carrot flan.
