I like it, but wouldn't say it's nectar of the gods....


Beer has that title

Not obsessed with it or with pumpkin like most Ozzies but I do love it - especially slow roasted in its skin with a bit of balsamic.
Give me a glass of red wine for nectar

Prefer it boiled, rather than pickled ....but wish it wasn't automatically put on burgers ...just so I can dribble it down my white top

I know I can request for none...but ususally forget

I've lived here for a year, and I've never had beetroot put on anything.

The Aussies up in QLD, must be just weird

My option isn't there. I love it with a roast dinner; pickled or better still roasted. But I hate it on a burger, in a salad...

It's growing on me - I used to hate it but my Aussie OH has been trying to introduce it gradually. I quite like it in a salad with goats cheese. But on a burger it's just wrong.
