        Purple potatoes are very real.

        They’re extra cool to make mashed potatoes, fries, or chips with.

          More antioxidants and slower increase in blood sugar than ordinary potatoes.

    Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.

      Leave it to the Dutch to standardise your food until everything is mediocre

    Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.

    Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.

    Purple is the old carrot. Orange is newer.

    I already did. The place I buy vegetables had purple carrots for a while, which cost more than orange carrots. I still bought them.

        Nice. They taste like orange carrots, but with a peppery kick.

    I mean, green ketchup tastes exactly the same as red one, so I’m used to colour being somewhat meaningless. Same with clear cola.

    Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.

    Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.

    You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?
