They’re boiled so they get soft anyway. If you cut them too small they just get lost...

Get lost in what? A small bowl of rice and sauce?

Yes, actually. The curry sauce is very thick and flavorful. Need the veggies to be robust to maintain their flavor and complement it.

I am not trying to argue with you, please don't take it personally, just asking questions.

Wouldn't you increase your carrots per bite ratio if the carrots are smaller vs. having however many chunks of it in that small dish?

I am NOT arguing with you, please don't take it as such.

Just a philosophy question.

But if you get one of those on a spoon that's alot of area covered including some rice.

If u cut them smaller, maybe in half, you could have a wider variety of veggies per spoon.

A much more balanced spoon.

At the end of the day, I just like them at that size. I think full size petite carrots work well in stews and curries..,

I eat that dish with a fork..,

General Statement.

People's tendency to eat rice based dishes with forks has always amazed me. Give me a damn spoon.

We eat rice and stew dishes with spoon and fork. Ultimate efficiency.

I do. And even with chopsticks sometimes.

I was simply challenging the notion that having bigger carrots made the carrot flavor (of the dish) more robust.

I would have thought have a higher carrot per bit ratio would make that true.

NO DISRESPECT

What do you have against spoons lawdog

Fr. Especially if sauces are involved

Too easy...

I mean if it is a SOUP based NOODLE dish, I see the need for BOTH.

But I can't imagine any rice dish that would make me use a fork.

Maybe I am nothing thinking hard enough

 

[SC kid]

Too easy...

But if you have a dish with multiple components including rice, you can get a more balanced bite especially if saws is involved.

No disrespect taken. I might try smaller cuts of carrot next time, but I think I’ll ultimately end up sticking with the full size petite carrots. We shall see.

ESPECIALLY if sauces are involved. I don't see why a fork would be used.

How are those boxed curries though? I never used those cubes before.

Would you/have you ever used different mixtures of meats and veggies?
