The Useful And True Carrot Information Thread

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

In 1387, the carrot was declared a noxious vermin by the Synod of Krakow, and considered to be responsible for the spread of the Black Death.  Thousands of carrots were burned in public displays that took place every week, for over a year.  No discernible effect on the spread of the plague in the Kingdom of Poland was noticed.

Later, revisionist historians claimed that the carrots were actually destroyed in an attempt to curb the rabbit population, but evidence for this claim, or even evidence that the Synod recognized rabbits as a potential plague vector, is notably absent.
