culinary discovery of the day

Carrot tops are edible, and taste mostly just like parsley, but a little bit like, well... carrots.

Think I'm going to put some in my tabouleh tonight!

(The risotto I made a few days ago used the tops of my beets. It's fortunate that I like greens, because I'm getting an extra bonus of them from buying veg whole.)

Some people say carrot tops are poisonous. Others say that they are delicious. In contradictions such as this, I take great comfort from the knowledge that the people who say they are poisonous have never actually eaten them.

Well, Pava and I just ate a cup and a half of them between us, so we'll see if we keel over and die. :D

(I Googled around and found enough people extolling their virtues that I felt safe putting them in my tabouleh.)
