Ive never understood how anyone can eat grits.... lol... but I like beetroot...and vegemite!

So what would I know?:D

Tuna-mayo and pickled beetroot has been a favourite sandwich filling since childhood.

Can't imagine Boxing Day without pickled beetroots.

Only problem when you binge on them is that you can give yourself a scare at the toilet the next day.

Pickled beetroot deserves nothing but cleansing fire.

Roast beetroot, however... Mmm.

I have not been Down Under yet, but hope I can remind myself when I go to specify that they leave it out! I had thought I was just being picky, until a couple of years ago I had a forkful of a garnish I mistakenly though was a candied apple; yes, I spat it out.

There must be a typo there in the first paragraph as the correct answer is equally pickled herring, raw onion, chopped egg, cubed potato, possibly shredded carrot as well and maybe some mayo...To go with the main character aka cubed and pickled beets.

Me too. Both grilled and pickeled :)

Beetroot is foul in every way.

I will however, eat the stalks and leaves.

Eats, stalks and leaves ?

;)

The greens are definitely a bonus. I prefer them to any others. I'm headed to the farmers market within the hour and now I am inspired to look for some.

They can't be beet.

That's what all the farmers said when I asked for them. They only had mustard, collard and turnip.

I did buy a bag of locally grown satsumas, though.

I don't think they play well with others in a sandwich. They shine is salads with goat/blue cheese. Sangwiches, not so much. BTW, I'd have them in ANY form as a last meal. Sig other says they taste like dirt. See Tom Robbins' "Jitterbug Perfume" where the beet is labeled the king of vegetables. I concur.

You have access to some good stuff, I assume.

I haven't had it in from a can but I'd venture to guess it's far inferior. Which, I first had haggis this past summer in Scotland and expected not to like it at all, but I absolutely loved it - much to my surprise! My first taste was a cheap package from Tesco heated up on our cabin's stovetop but the next meal was at a B&B which sources its meat from a quality local butcher...the latter was even better.

Back to the topic, I'll eat some beetroot in salads but haven't tried it on sandwiches. I tend to think it would be a bit too much of it sliced onto a sandwich, for my taste. But I suppose I should try it before dismissing it entirely.

I like them roasted, boiled, pickled, or spiralized raw into a salad.

Never tried them on a sandwich. But now I plan to :)
