Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

I share your sentiments but given the poll's options, had no choice other than to vote 'nectar of the gods'. I'm very fond of beetroot in salad rolls, hamburgers and on dressed pies.

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

sorry might be being thick, but what are dressed pies?

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Pumpkin too ? :(

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Food of the devil = only 25.49%!!!!

come on beetroot haters - vote!!! :thumbsup:

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

I love fresh cooked beetroot and eat them like apples, it's a shame me hands end up the same colour as my hair.;)

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

I made my views perfectly clear on this subject before.

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Thats nearly as bad as beetroot :eek:

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

'mmmmm beetroot reminds me of my grandparents :wub:, they used to use a pressure cooker and cook loads, then I used to sit and eat it on it's own warm - takes me back does that, much better freshly cooked than pickled.

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

I hadn't tried it before coming here, but now love it and add it to my stews and soups....lovely roasted too....had a pumpkin pie yesterday...mmmmmmm

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Yep, with sweet potato coming in 3rd.
Anything you cook with ant of those veg in & they're gagging for it :)

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

maybe the results are telling you something:thumbsup:

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Not read any of the replies simply because the very word makes me heave. I don't even like picking up the tin. Hubby used to grow his own and I'd have to go out for the day when he and the girls would harvest it, boil it - vomit - and pickle it - vomit again. If he hadn't cleared up completely by the time I got home, I'd go out again and get myself a takeaway. A tinge of pink is all it takes for me to lose my stomach.

Thanks Poll. I now feel queasy:mad:

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Ok i can believe that some hate beetroot. But pumpkin and sweet potatoes? Come on!!:blink:

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Firm yet wet and slightly salty
A cleanly taste thats sweet not malty,
It truly melts upon the tongue
But note some red in pee and dung!

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

I always make dinner during the day, so by the time the kids get home they can have their tea, otherwise they winge and end up eating something they shouldn't.

Today it was roast chicken, carrots, cabbage, green beans, garlic mushrooms, sweet potato mash and gravy. I had a tinsy bowl of mash and gravy, cos I was having spicy pasta when Mr.Ransi got home.

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

Look at all you Cymros, nos da...

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
 

i have had to eat boring food for 17 years ( having children) "I don't like that!!!!"
we eat good food but it''s all so boring sometimes....must have eaten twenty tones of potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, stew, spag bol, chilli, roasts, blah blah blah...my husband does most of the cooking as he gets home before me... we all hate celery... and strange as it is.... my husband makes a point that i always have beetroot in the cupboard... my retort is.. "well you don't know when you might have guests".. can't have enough tins of beetroot in the cupboard.. or salmon...or pineapple and carnation milk.... just in case we have guests!!!!!!!know what i mean!!!!!:thumbsup:

Re: The Great Beetroot Debate
