Bonus: you can drop a few hard boiled eggs in with the beets.

I never used to like beets, but I'm seeing them on alot more restaurant menus lately and they're starting to grow on me, especially on salads. Now I actually like them, as long as they're pickled. I haven't tried them on a sandwich, but I bet it could work with something like a grilled chicken pita. Just don't put them directly on a soft bread without something like lettuce to keep the bread from becoming a soggy pink mess! I think they would also be a good addition to coleslaw, for taste and color on any burger or pulled pork sandwich.

years ago, i joined my college debate society, which was reforming after being defunct for decades. our faculty sponsor discovered a menu from society's last dinner, so many years before, which prominently featured a serving of "delmonico beets." the new debate society quickly became beet-themed, and of course they were featured at the first dinner of the new society.
i'd never had beets before, and discovered i love them.

Definitely an Australian thing. You get a slice of beet in burgers down there.
As for earthiness taste, that seems to be a characteristic bred out of the beets where I am. Just not there anymore, much like how Argentinen merlots used to have an earthy bouquet 20 years ago.

It's like baloney in America. It's pretty average, but I do have fond memories of being a kid and having devon and tomato sauce sandwiches at my aunt's.
Devon is actually one of the few Australian English words that changes depending on what part of the country you're from.
