      I love beets. I eat them twice a month. I wish they didn't stain... but they are still worth it.

      love them! at first, i had a hard time with the "earthy" taste but now that is exactly what i love about them. plus they have a certain sweetness too. i love them steamed and then pan grilled with just a tiny bit of olive oil. i also eat them cold with goat cheese and chives. yummy! i know people that make cakes out of pureed beets...haven't gone there yet but it sounds interesting!

      now, on the flip side, they stain horribly. and my bathroom trips the day after a "beet" fest are interesting too. EVERYTHING comes out RED! it's like a murder happened in my toilet! lol!!

      The smell of beets makes me want to vomit. The color is pretty but stains easily. I don't like them at all.

      I know they are good for me, but yuck yuck yuck. Hubby loves them, so he loads up if we are at a salad bar.

      Hated them until about 2 years ago when my mom introduced me to lightly roasted ones in a salad at Cheesecake factory. Delicious! I'm hooked. Yellow ones don't stain and are even sweeter.

      As part of a roasted root vegetable medley they are fine. Otherwise, NO!

      I've never eaten beets.
      But I feel pretty positively about them: I really liked The Beets from Doug.

      :love: love them

      Only had the canned and jarred pickled all my life. Went to a health food type restraunt and they served roasted beets. Oh no, now I am drooling:grumble:

      Don't really like them.

      On;y familiar with the pickled ones from an early age - and despite the fact that I love every other pickle veg (onion, cornichons, etc), I don't like beetroot. I don't like the extra faff required in preparing them - the skins that have to be slipped off, the staining factor, and all that.

      I've had plain boiled ones in salads, and I'm not crazy about the taste. Could live happily in a world without them.

      They make for a lovely cheek & lip stain but I won't eat them. Nasty. Just awful.

      Is that what we call beetroot in the UK? I don't go out of my way to eat it, but the fresh vacuum packed stuff is nice one in a while in a salad, at the side. Edited to say that I mean pre-cooked, cold and vacuum packed. Other than pickled in a jar, I've never had them raw etc. I tried the pickled sandwich filler stuff and hated it. Too much added sugar.

      they are OK...my husband loves pickled beets (and onions!) and always has them if we have homemade fish and chips (which I haven't had in FOREVER personally). i've never had them raw I don't think - or if i have, i don't remember. But i rarely, rarely eat them. I also don't like how they stain your fingers!

      If it was in a salad, i would eat them. and i' not a fan of them pickled. i'm sure they're nicer raw.

      anyways my verdict - don't hate them but don't love them either. lol

      I love beets. Mostly I buy them to make pickled eggs, then I end up eating them right out of the can at the same time. I rarely buy fresh though.

      Love them pickled or boiled, never tried them roasted but they are the easiest thing to grow too :)

      I love beets. Pickled are great, and I love them roasted and tossed with a honey balsamic glaze.

      I don't like beets. Although I have friends that love them

      They are delicious roasted (although I usually do them in olive oil, so that might need to change:), great boiled, and THE BEST out of a tin and straight onto a burger.
