V is for "Carottes Vichy" or "carottes à la Vichy" in French. It's a glazed carrot dish named after the town of Vichy in central France. Evidently the town is known for its naturally carbonated mineral water and the dish is traditionally made with that water. We love glazed carrots, there is a particular version I make often, and I remember my mom making a version very close to the traditional vichy carrot recipe when I was little as well. I think she used brown sugar.
