Some class quotes:

"The exact lineage of carrots is difficult to trace as it was often confused by early horticulturalists with the parsnip, its close relative"

Does this mean we have to start tracking down purple and white carrots?

Mind you, I'm tempted to try the 'Cariota' - roast carrots at Berkeley. All you need to do is stick the carrots in the coals of the fire, then peel them!

Moot point - there are a few references to red roots but apparently white and purple were more common

Tee I thought about cooking them in that way but it does sound a bit messy. I suppose there is less washing up though.
