Are there carrots in China? Are they an authentic part of Chinese cuisine?

I once knew a woman who got hysterically angry in a Chinese restaurant in Portland, Oregon because she was served a dish with carrots. She kept screaming "There are [i]NO[/i] carrots in China! There are [i]NO[/i] carrots in China!!!"

It was one of my more memorable restaurant experiences.

This woman is now married to a cleric and lives in San Diego, California. I hope she's resolved her carrot phobia...or whatever it was...

i mean too many ignorant folk around.

china is a great continent. many don't know what it is, what countries and that china is a fantastic wealth of culture a plenty.

most think china is a producer of trash.

the states is tops on the list of passing off junk as authentic.
