Do you like beetroot?

Love it, best straight from the garden, cooked, sliced with vinegar. I also love peeling the skin after cooking, very satisfying.

I love it and DH hates it. We are attempting to grow some again this year after being unsuccessful last year.

Beetroot regularly features on the table in this house. Roasted with halloumi or smoked mackerel, raw in a side salad, even in a cake once!
It has long been known for being a generally good thing, especially for the liver, and keeping blood pressure and the digestion system regular.
It has shot up in price in the supermarkets here in the last year or so. I do hope Michael M's promotion doesn't put the price up even higher - mine aren't ready to harvest from the garden yet!

It’s so easy to grow, but I don’t bother because I’m ambivalent about it. I don’t mind the odd pickled beetroot in salad, but I’m not keen on it boiled or roasted at all. I prefer some of the other ‘superfoods’ vegetables like kale, broccoli and garlic.

I love it, roasted with pepper and halloumi or feta, a salad of beetroot, feta, cucumber and walnuts or simply pickled with cold meats and new potatoes. Plenty of black pepper and I’m happy!

Beetroot burgers or falafel…..Yum!!

I was annoyed to see Beet Wellington on a menu once for £25 (that was a menu of two courses).

Can't abide it. DH loved pickled beetroot, though.

If anyone is interested, I'm fairly certain you'd be able to grow the cut off top.
It looks the type, anyway.

I love it on hot pot.

Love it, especially freshly boiled and I would enjoy a whole one! Have it in a salad; roasted; in a sandwich with a little black pepper. If pickled I prefer it in sweet vinegar.

I love it in its every form; pickled, boiled, roasted in a sandwich with cheese. It's one of those things that I forget that I like until I buy some, as I did a week ago, and every time I go to the fridge I stick a fork in the jar and have a couple of slices. Unlike the poor poster who has unhappy memories of it staining a summer dress, I have happy memories of it because my beloved grandmother always had it on the tea table, and my grandfather grew it.

I've never tried it in anything other than a sandwich.
I ought to give some of the other things a try.

I do readymade (gasp!!!) mozzarella and beetroot burgers.

Yes love it

I don't love it but I'm not averse to it either. I certainly wouldn't go to the bother of preparing it myself but sometimes buy it ready to eat and add it to a salad. These I only eat when it's too hot to cook.

Love it. Grow it and give some to my neighbour whose children have now been converted.
Boiled, cooled, skin rubbed off, sliced and enjoyed!
It’s good for blood flow and BP.

I love it, as did my Mum. Her favourite was cheese and beetroot sandwich and after she died I remember one day getting really upset thinking she will never eat cheese and beetroot again. Funny how things bring back memories.

Awww...
The African violet thread made me think of my mum.
I really miss her.

I used to love it when you used to be able to go to your local greengrocer and buy cooked beetroot that they did on the premises when it was in season.
Walking out with several in a brown bag, hoping it wouldn't leak onto the rest of your shopping (if you had forgotten a spare plastic bag!) and get home when it was still warm was lovely.
Jars of beetroot in vinegar or the vacuum packed ones that go mouldy after a few days, even if in an airtight container just aren't the same.
It's also supposed to help lower blood pressure , so another reason to love it in my case!

I like it - love a goat's cheese and beetroot salad. We do grow it in the garden and pickle it, but it's such a messy job!

It’s disgusting ! Tastes of mud !

If you want the "full benefit" of beetroot (for the brain/BP/sport you mustn't boil it as the beneficial nitrates are water soluble.

So strange to think that nitrates may be good for you! I have been choosing my sparkling water by their lack of nitrates for years!

It’s served with stovies and an oatcake in my corner of Scotland!

I cooked some just 2 days ago and put a few teaspoons of light vinegar on it when I’d sliced it.
Had it in a corn beef sandwich one day, and with pork pie, tomatoes and crusty bread and butter another. So yes, I love it.
£1.25 for a bunch of 5 beetroot and it will last me 3 more days at least.

Like beetroot.
I sometimes find white/ pale beetroot. Boil skin and put in a sauce which is a white sauce made with vinegar. Served hot as a vegetable with a hot meal. Delicious.
