Tell: Carrots

My friend hates carrots. Raw, cooked, grated, sliced - makes no difference. 'Nasty sweet things,' she said. 'Vegetables shouldn't be sweet. Bring on the broccoli.'

'But carrots must be good for something,' I said. 'Apart from eating, that is.'

The ensuing discussion was most entertaining. So here's your chance to amuse yourselves this Monday morning: suggest three possible uses for a carrot, other than eating it.

Well, 1. A snowman's nose is obvious.

2. Use one as an emergency gas cap.

3. Dress one up for Easter.

i. Violin practice - a healthy carrot bow

ii. Conducting an orchestra - the baton that yields that most vitalised performance

iii. As a Foody Award - to hell or Hull with golden statuettes, bring on the muddied carrot!
