Alternatives to the Julienne Peeler

[Intrepid_Chef]

OK, silly question about the Julienne peeler.

If you don't have this ... what do you do?

I've tried chopping a carrot into little tiny think carrot sticks that were avbout the size of toothpicks.

I've tried slicing the carrot with the crinkle cut blade of the Mandoline (and almost cut my finger in the process!)

Don't have the zester/scorer so I can't do those pretty "flowers" either ....

Should I just slice it real thin with the forged cutlery and be done with it?

Hee Hee - I choose a different recipe!

I really disliked the old Julienne peeler, and so never used it or demoed a recipe that called for it. But I've recently discovered that the newer model is MUCH MUCH better, and now I've become a julienning fool!


(and I can't believe that, according to the spell-checker, julienning is a word!)

I ran into this problem last night when I made the satay chicken pasta salad for dinner. I just cut the carrots with a knife.
