Beets are awesome. My favorite is roasting a chicken with potatoes, beets and maybe some carrots thrown in for good measure. Copious amounts of butter and salt, and mmmmmmmmm...


And of course they make your pee turn red! :thumb:

Had beets again this Christmas. They were still horrible. Made them somewhat palatable with copious amounts of horseradish and sour cream.

Do they really? I didn't notice that. I guess guys have the advantage of looking in the toilet while they pee though.

Beets are one of the few veggies I don't get along with. I've tried to like them but the sweetness is almost sickening, like a yam gone wrong or something.

I am interested to try "golden" beets but I've never seen them before. Do they have a more mild flavor than red beets?

Beets are the best. I brought some to work with my juicer and let my kids juice them. They were so freaked out. Most held the same conclusion that you have come to. They hated it. I could eat them all day every day AND drink the juice.

I look upon you sadly, you who do not not partake in beet appreciation.
