Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I didn't give an accurate answer. When it said "Think of a vegetable" it brought to mind an image of a large shallow glass bowl full of salad with cucumbers on top of lettuce at the top. Since cucumbers were the top most vegetable I said my answer was cucumbers, but maybe I should have answered salad.
Anyway, there were no carrots in the salad that I could see. I could see some bean sprouts, though.
