Boiled carrots should be......hard or soft?

I show all vegetables (except potatoes) a picture of a kettle from the other side of the room. No mush in moose mansions.

We should consider fruits & vegetables our friends.

Genius!!! Where da hell did you get that from?

On the carrot front: Don't boil them very often, we just eat them raw (my son doesn't like them cooked anyway) - but on the very odd occasion I boil them: medium.

Having said that I'm rather partial to baked carrots. Yum!

Mush is good.

Mushy carrots, mushy parsnips, mushy courgettes, mushy broccoli, it's all good.

Ironically, the only things I've never been able to properly mush are mushrooms.

Doesn't matter how long you boil them for, they never go mushy, just sort of shrivelled.....

Always glazed in our house with butter & honey, simply lush, nice cold if you cook to many

The rule of thumb is: If it's supposed to be cooked, cook it to within an inch of destruction.

Hmm. Now I see why you gave up meat...
