Okay, why is this under "Vegetarian & Vegan"?
"Snot and puke are going under the microscope as some of England's most gifted children probe the mysteries of the inner self - such as why vomit always seems to contain diced carrots...
Answer: The "diced carrots" commonly found in vomit are actually parts of the stomach wall lining. Vomiting is such a violent process that bits of it come off."

(I had to see if that 'stomach lining' bit was a wide-spread idea. I'm still not sure that's accurate, because mine are invariably sliced carrots. In butter and parsley.)

Not nice I know but this is the lining of your stomach which protects it from the acidic juices your stomach produces for digestion. DOn't worry. It replaces itself but your stomach might be a bit sore and sensitive for a while! Looks just like overcooked carrots when it comes up!

This is the old Billy Connolly story about carrots in vomit. It's an urban myth, though rather amusing.
Personally, I don't inspect my vomit, I just clean it up before it makes me feel like vomiting again.

My theory is that someone is feeding you pounds of poisoned carrots while you sleep. It could be that or maybe carrots are one of those foods that are hard to digest but in truth I think they may actually aid in digestion. That is a tough one there.

People sometimes use the expression 'Sick as a parrot' but as you have just found out it should be 'Sick as a carrot'

the fact that you weighed your vomit is a little disturbing.. if you didn't eat carrots then its not carrots...now i think i will be sick.. but i won't be looking at it or let alone weighing it.. just flush..

Hmm. I don't know. I haven't puked in 16 years. Maybe its just something that looks like carrots. Or maybe your body just keeps a secret carrot stash in case of a surprise puke...
