Workaround: Potato peeler extends peeler, so just cast your carrots as potatoes before you peel them, and then cast them back to carrot afterwards

To cast them, it uses libvegs however. It is not available in any standard package libraries, so just quickly build it from source

Yeah but the current build of libvegs has some conflicts with libfruit, so if you need to use both you have to build libvegs in a different directory and then simlink it in /lib.

Tomato keep being casted as fruit, even that for any practical purpose it should be as vegetable

Unfortunately, casting from potato to carrot is a narrowing conversion so your new carrot will lose some properties

If you forget the second step, well, that’s what sweet potatoes are.

An agile pot?
Will it run from me while I try to put ingredients in it?

Why would you peel a carrot?

Depending on the carrot, the skin can be significantly more bitter. And sometimes peeling can be quicker than trying to scrub dirt out of particular lumpy carrots.

YMMV

This is a classic XY problem. My ex would often ask me why I wouldn’t peel carrots.

I tend not to when cooking for myself )unless it’s been in the fridge for a while and the skin is a bit unappealing, no pun intended), but some people prefer carrots peeled for aesthetic reasons.

Just fork peeler from 4.2, rename it to “Skininator 4000” and set up a BuyMeACoffee button.
