beetroot

[Abitrary]

It seems to have disappeared and gone largely unsung for many years, but now looks to be creeping back in.

I'm not saying the beetroot industry is inherently devious, but I did find a beetroot section attached to a tub of coleslaw from sainsburys the other day, like a parasite.

I'm borscht stiff with all this

The beetroot is the work of the Devil and should be spurned at every opportunity.

I am finding the same thing with Rhubarb, who decides when these things are
fashionable again ?

In the winter mrs rich p does a tray of roasted root vegetables including beetroot. Ah, how I miss those cold days, warm fires and Sunday roasts.

My wife did some home made crisps the other day, fantastic!!

Potato, Beetroot, Parsnip and Carrot.

Highly recommended.

Also if you want to do a display of multi coloured poo you can get the purple ones out by simply eating a whole jar of pickled beetroot.

roast beetroot is ace! as is the pickled stuff! I'm trying to grow some in my garden, but the slugs are winning

 

[Aperitif]

Good Ol Beetroot. I grows it every year in me garding. Can't beat some freshly grown/picked and boiled beetroot. And if I gets too much to gobble up that way I makes Borscht and freezes it - absolutely Yummy

I love beetroot crisps as well as in salads.

I loathe the stuff but I'm still growing it because Baggy likes it. Greater love hath no man....

That poncy Italian stuff with white and red rings, natch.

I'm also a beetroot fan and like it with salad, in sandwiches or with hot meals. Come to think about it I've not had any for quite a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beetroot is ace - but a nightmare to get out in the wash! Don't seem to be able to have the pickled stuff without accidents...
