The only time I've had beetroot on burgers was in Sydney. Must be an Aussie thing, because every time I ask for one here in Canada, they give me an odd look.

I like the beetroot thing.

Me neither. I'm assuming that by "beetroot" we're all discussing this or a reasonable facsimile? :confused:

There is a beetroot paste that can be made to put on sandwiches that is healthy.

Yes. The root part of the beet plant.

Also very good on a steak sandwich.

Most of us get it out of a can...lol

Drop round my place, I'll make you a beetroot and butter sandwich, served on the whitest of bread. You can take it back to Atherton and open a sandwich shop. The punters will love it.;)

i think the height of perfect integration of Beetroot in a burger would be Paul's in Sylvania, pinnacle of old school hamburgers IMO. And the only acceptable reason for visiting the shire.

Never quite understood the Beetroot hate in the US, it does make me wonder what the hell has been done to them to provoke such strong reactions.

I don't hate beetroot and I live in the US. If your gauging this on reactions to beetroot from folks in US in this thread, then I don't think you have a large enough sample. ;)

As my US based relatives live in a Jewish majority area, beets are all the rage. And they have sidewalks and cycling lanes due to Shabbat...Perfect! ;)

Paul's is great. No hipsters in sight either. Hardly ever get there it's a long way to drive for a burger.

Yes: pickled beetroot on a British style Cheese and Onion Sandwich.

If it's a British-style sandwich it should really be called a sarnie.
:D

Many years ago in Nice, I had a delicious sandwich with grilled slices of beetroot and generous slices of a mature chèvre. A great combo ^

I think it (hate, or like) is regional. Pickled beets are certainly popular in some quarters (I am going to guess the areas with predominant Germanic ancestry e.g., the "mid-west". You'll find a lot weirder foods in these parts.
