You all have to remember that Thomas and I are working exclusively with 14th
century and earlier, so a 16th century Dutch hybrid would be out of period
for us. AND in Anahita's case -- Forme of Cury -- it would also be out of
period, since FoC is circa 1390.

Yes, medieval carrots did come in colors. There are recipes that call for
white carrots, presumably to distinguish them from the red, black or purple
ones.
