Who eats beets?

They taste good, but more importantly if you eat enough of them, you will pee purple which is a GREAT party trick.

 

Pickled beetroot tastes great !

 

If you're pissing purple, sing "Purple rain, purple rain... "

Without beets, or parsnips, Borscht is an aborschtion.

It's the national soup of Ukrainia, but it's also one of the purple prides of a Jewish or Russian menu.

Other than having Borscht @40 times, (which goes really good with beer bread) I'm not a fan of beets, or parsnips. Ex-wife loved the damn beets, though. Though I should have been, I wasn't a wife-beeter.

As Russki russets go, if you haven't had a blue potato, you're missing out. Seriously - greatest potatoes on earth, bar none - all others are completely lacking.

Try a purple or black tomato. Several varieties/origins to choose from.

 

Not me, but my 8 year old loves them. Go figure?

 

Its great with a dollap of sour cream.

Yum.

I ate borsht (t is silent) today for lunch. So go figure. Pickled beets are not bad, but other then the soup I won't eat them.

 

I was always grossed out by beets and had never tried them up until a year ago when my girlfriend at the time talked me into tasting one. I found that I like them and now eat them occasionally and the same girlfriend made me borscht with a big old dollup of sour cream in it and I found that very tasty.

 

Taste like dirt.

 

A little more than a smidgen and a little less than a slather

Why aren't you in Napa with the rest of us??!!!!

 

I like beets. They're good for your blood, lots of iron. I put a bunch of them in salads. Yum yum!

 

Ginger roasted beets on skewers.. Or a beet salad tossed with vinigrette over butter lettuce.


I highly recommend the beet salad at Bistro Jeanty in your neck of the woods followed by the Cassoulet for main course. It might change your mind!

 

That's what makes 'em taste good.

 

Ah ok makes sense. looking forward to meeting you in the near future.

*that was me posting earlier (above on this thread) with vince's account from his house*

 

Yeah, I like a good pickeled beet now and again. I don't know, pickeled they don' taste like dirt, more like vinegar. They are not the best, but not the worst.
