[Sca-cooks] Carrots in Dutch paintings

[Huette von Ahrens]

I posted a URL on another list of a painting that had a food scene in it.  Someone commented
about the orange carrots, so I looked at more paintings done by Pieter Aertsen and Joachim
Beuckelaer and found 14 painting that had carrots of various colors in them.  Some of the
white carrots might be turnips.  It is hard for me to tell.

These have white carrots or perhaps turnips...

These are hard to decide if they are white or orange...
