Beets

[Unkotare]

Had a big ol' plate of beets for dinner last night. Forgot all about it until this morning when I was doing my morning business and thought I had massive internal bleeding!

Speaking of beets, it's been suggested they be used as a replacement for artificial red dyes. However, there aren't enough beets in the world to do this.

Didn't have to hunt too far for Red October.

There is a reason beets are not popular.
They taste like dirt.
The only way they are palatable to me is well peeled with about a quarter of the top and bottom cut off, that is where the most bitter parts of a beet are. - and then roasted in an oven.
Well roasted. They are not bad this way.

Note to self. Never eat beets and asparagus together.

Hell one beet probably has enough red in it for that. Stuff gets everywhere.

Anyway I like mine simple as can be---slice them and roast them in oven with butter, salt and pepper---that is it.

Don't do anything to them. Just eat them.

I agree that beets taste really bad indeed, but I eat them anyway, and I just boil them, because roasting would be too much work.

Beets are very, very good for you.
