An Unusual Online Museum

I have just discovered that there is a World Carrot Museum site. There are many different things to look at here: A to Z of Varieties; Carrots in Fine Art; Jokes; and Carrot Trivia, to name a few. According to the Carrot Trivia page, "Carrots produce more distilled spirit than potatoes." I did not know that. I also did not know that Queen Anne's Lace (such a beautiful name!) refers to a wild carrot. There is more information here about carrots than I thought existed. Via onepotmeal.

I know! I thought about E-mailing the site people. Maybe one of us should.
