They often get sold as horse carrots when the supermarkets don't want them.

I heard that the farmers cover them with straw to keep them safe until Tesco demand a delivery...

I love carrots, and am still amazed at how many are always on the shelves in the supermarkets!

It amazes me that a lot of people demand perfectly-shaped veg. Why??? To throw away odd-shaped ones is absolutely stupid when there are people desperate for food in this country.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
