Beets Killer Tofu.

helps her 89 year old father "find the beets" every time we go to the store together.

djkutch: Baked beets with goat cheese are tasty.

Anything with goat cheese is tasty.

I love beets, always have. Sliced, and cooked until warm and tender with a little bit of butter. Delicious!

You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more beets
Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
I'm a beet door man, wha

HawgWild: Already knew this:

Nice reference. Even though that's not the scene where she says it, I could hear Kenny's voice "we are, in fact, eating more beets".

But really, Michigan and an ill governor is no guide for the president and MS.

Dear Cecil:

I recently heard a rumor that sugar processed from beets contains traces of a poison used as a combat weapon in World War II. Is this true?

Cecil:

Yes.

crypticsatellite: I like beets. Why all the beet hate?

/I like beats, too. Phat beats.

I like beets, too. I'm the only one in my family who does, however, so I'm pretty much beetless in my diet.

I also love beats. Try some LTJ Bukem for some nice DnB love.

You don't "like" beets. You live to eat beets.

I live to eat beets.

So do you too. You. You live to eat beets. Like I do. I live.

To eat beets.

(You do too.)

mitchcumstein1: Beets are the only, THE ONLY, food that I flat ass will not eat.

You have not had good pickled beets. And really? I'm not the biggest beet fan, but of all the repulsive cuisine the world has to offer, beets is the one true gagger for ya? Have you tried okra? You don't even have to eat it, just watch it drool of your fork and get back to me. Mmmk.

So simple and delectable.

ToxicMunkee: I like beets.
As do I. I grow them. I grow the heirloom ones so they have a real flavor.

don't like goats don't like goat cheese don't like goat people at the fair don't like goats - make me throw up a lot in my mouth . . . sorry, can't help it

I juice 'em. With a few carrots and apples.
Super tasty, but the first time you try it remember... you are probably NOT pooping blood.

Marcus Aurelius: You have to be more specific. I like beets too. Right up to the point where they invade my nasal passages with a pungent cloying musky odor reminiscent of long dead otter with overtones of formaldehyde. But right up to that point, I like them in kind of the same way I like tripe.

OK like anything they have an expiration date. If their "beet brown" as opposed to "beet red",, dispose of them promptly and seek fresh beets. Under no circumstance eat blue brow or green beets.

People hate beets because they eat overcooked or badly pickled ones. Your beet should not feel like a well done baked potato, or its overcooked. It should still be slightly crisp. I peel them, cut into wedges, toss with olive oil and roast for 20-30 minutes in the oven, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle on salt. The greens are nice pan fried with mushrooms or gently roasted in the oven, with a little salt and butter.

Haven't pickled them myself yet though. But I have eaten pickled beet salads at nice restaurants.

Mmmmmm... pickled beets are yummy. Now if this was an okra story, THEN we are running out of food.

Beats taste like dirt. That is all.

I made a juice from beets once, turned my mouth purple, stained everyfookingthing in my kitchen purple, and i am pretty sure my piss was purple too. Didn't have beets for years after that.

/still like em

Fear the Clam: Beats taste like dirt. That is all.

You don't taste beats. You feel them. And dance.

1. Obtain fresh beets.

2. Cut tops off beets and wash well. Trim any rough spots, or peel if you're into that sort of thing.

3. Cut into 1 inch cubes, put in a lidded casserole dish. Toss with salt and a bit of olive oil. ADD NO WATER. Cover dish.

4. Cook in 350 F oven, stirring every ten minutes or so, until tender. This should take around a half hour to fourty five minutes.

5. Eat as many of the roasted beets as your belly can hold.

6. Wait 4 to 6 hours.

7. Write your name in the snow in a beautiful sunset red/purple color.

Note: This apparently doesn't work for everyone. It seems some people can process the beet color better than others. Also, your next bowel movement will be an interesting shade as well. This means it can be entertaining to feed your friends and family this side dish, and not tell them about this side effect. Chances are, they'll have forgotten what you fed them for dinner by the time they have to answer nature's call.

Note note: And this tastes pretty good too. Feel free to cook it just for food value and not base entertainment, if you're into that sort of thing.

And this

If I want something cylindrical spurting goo in my mouth I'll turn gay, until then I keep this stuff as far away from me as I can. Nasty.

And beets are tasty. Had some today as a matter of fact.

/and rutabaga on the weekend, YAY!
//boiled and mashed. 1 stick of butter per large rutabaga, salt and pepper. Better than potatoes

So you're saying you should eat nothing but beets for 3 days before a colonoscopy?

Roasted beets w/ a side of aioli is pretty good. Put some chives on em.

Pickled is also alright, though can get tiring before long, like all pickles...

When they get to turnips, then I'll worry.

Funny thing... at my house, we all love beets... picked, cooked, they barely survive and very few times we end up with leftovers.

I buy them by the gigantic bag when I get ready to pickle some, and we feast on them so badly once they are cooked, that we probably go through the equivalent of 3-4 jar's worth... we usually don't even have supper as we fill up on them.

Then we get to pee purple for a few days so that's another bonus.

... hmmm... off to the pantry to find a jar I think.
