DON'T HATE ON BEETS!

Lol I've always loved beets. I ate them by the can as a kid. Turned my #2's bright purple too, my mom took me to the ER once thinking I had some kind of internal bleeding. :P

Love them pickled.
With pineapple the canned ones make a gorgeous and tasty smoothie.
Roasted ...yummy
Raw juliiene strips in a tossed salad. Good way to add color in the winter when tomatoes are yucky.

I feel so bonded with all the beet lovers. I wish you joy happiness and inner peace. The rest of you-not so much. I'm just sorry for you mostly. It's actually very sad.

BEET LOVERS UNITE!

I only recently discovered I like beetroot. It's so sweet I can understand why I see it in cake/brownie recipes. I've not tried it, but for beet lovers, beetroot and chocolate ice cream: http://www.rivercottage.net/recipes/chocolate-beetroot-ice-cream/

My Grandma made Harvard beets. Kids will eat these!! And you picky Na sayers...
Fresh or canned take 1/4 cup of the freshly boiled or canned beet water whisk in a saucepan with 1/3 cup sugar, 1tbsp. Corn starch, 1/4 cup vinegar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook until smooth and thickened add beets and 2 tbsp. Butter.
Think you can make it healthier but in moderation, its so yummy I don't really care!
We also have the chocolate beet cake served in the cafeteria at the elementary school. Kids can't tell its not a chocolate velvet cake.
Beet greens boiled and tossed with vinegar is the best!

I love beets. We are roasting beets for a salad with the beet tops and other greens, goat cheese, pecans, etc. as a light lunch before Thanksgiving dinner festivities.

If my kids are shopping with me and see beets with the greens attached they force me to get them to make borscht. Its a messy job but sooooooo good. At Costco I just discovered borscht made by the 2 ladies that have a tv show Janet and Greta and its 100 calories for a cup- its pretty good. I just add a bit more vinegar and lots of black pepper. Yum! Even a beet hater can't say it tastes like dirt!

The Big R store locally has pickled baby beets that to me is like candy. I can eat a whole jar in one sitting if I'd let myself.

delicious! I use them all the time in making traditional red velvet cake (they are what originally made the cake red after all!)

Beets are of the devil. That's why they're red.


(Yes, I have had canned, fresh, straight from the garden, roasted, pickled, baked...all amid much protest and threats of losing TV time/being grounded. Haven't had a beet in well over 20 years and I'm okay with that!)

Beets are the best . . . .SUGAR BEETS that is!

Beets can suck it! I'm allergic and they try to kill me. They don't like me and I don't like them!

Nasty, vile things. BLECH! :sick:

(Srsly, never tried them straight out of the ground, only canned. Thanks for the tip! :bigsmile: )

^^^This...except I have tried them fresh. Tasted like dirt to me. Seriously. There are very few foods that LITERALLY make me gag. I took one bite and hurled in the kitchen sink. :sick: :noway:
