I had a bit of an orange complexion, only for a very short while, however in the other sort of way.
I just really liked carrots, and whenever I’d see carrots I’d munch on them. For a while in my childhood it would be normal to see me just eating carrots throughout a Summer.
Once my mum noticed they were very quickly cut out, then later I just understood the cool orange skin was not good and I shouldn’t have that many carrots. Life is unfair sometimes.
I cannot stress this enough: it was a lot of carrots.
Thanks for the wonderful anecdote! “Hey look Joe, kid & carrot again I told you about”.
I still like carrots now and then, mostly as an ingredient, and sometimes just raw.
My mom did a good job making everything taste disgusting, certainly pumpkin and Japanese seaweeds cooked in too much salt. I remember she promised us to make fries once. My sister and me very happy, couldn’t believe it as we where not allowed to eat nightshade plants…macrobiotic diet forbids, so that evening we had…pumpkin fries, we both crying. Disgustingly made btw and just some tamari and gomasio (more salt) for sauce.

We were into shoplifting not much later.
