eddie007

Grated carrot... Cauzes intense feelings of anger and frustration

Pollyana

Oh yes, I'm with you on that one....whats the point of it, it just falls out of sandwiches and gets everywhere

gmralston

What, real whole coffee beans? I can't imagine that being very nice, they could be quite useful though.

I only have to smell that stuff and I retch

Pollyana

Its vicious, I tell you, lurks in corners and jumps out to attack you!

The Bloke

That can't be beetroot you're describing, sound more like Bernie....

Pollyana

Hmmmm there are similarities

Amazulu

I think you'll find it's British.......

Pollyana

but the brits don't put it in everything the way the Aussies do - burgers, sandwiches etc. I used to like it years ago, then I moved here and it was Beetroot Overkill

If you have any fillings ... Minties

And the brits generally pickle it which makes beetroot taste much nicer

Wonka Redskins are another one to avoid with fillings

Merseygirl

Dagwood Dogs........for lots of reasons.

Beetroot is mostly bought pickled in tins, in Australia as it is anywhere else for that matter. If you order a hamburger with beetroot you will more than likely get pickled beetroot in there.

Personally I don't mind the stuff. I have been growing it this year and I agree it is not as nice just boiled up, it does need to be pickled to make it more palatable.

Anyway, what about beetroots very close relative, silverbeet. I quite like silverbeet.
