Do you like beetroot?

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!

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

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

I love it still warm from being boiled, and with lots of salt on.
In a lovely cheese sarnie.

Too earthy for me so I never eat it.

I love beetroot in any form as long as it hasn't been touched by vinegar, can't stand pickled beetroot. My Saturday job as a teenager included boiling up the beetroot ready for sale as a salad ingredient. My treat for doing it was one to eat while still hot, yummy.

Yes, I bit. Couldn't eat a whole one though.

I can tolerate beetroot if it's in a goat's cheese salad and as long as it isn't pickled.

Yes, we do.

Roasted with red onions, garlic and thyme then glazed with a little stock and balsamic vinegar.
Lovely with sausage and mash.

According to Michael Mosley it's the latest superfood
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ?

I absolutely hate beetroot but dh loves it. I find it nest to cook my own. Small ones boil for about 3/4 hour. Then I either peel slice and put in vinegar in a bowl in the fridge or in sterilised jars and have with salad or in sandwiches (shudder!). Or I bake them in the oven and serve as a vegetable that way. Beetroot juice is said to be very good especially if you are prone to kidney stones.

Why do I hate beetroot? When I was about 7 the school cook was manic and I was terrified of her. You didn’t dare leave anything on the plate so I ate all my beetroot up, until one day she gave me a very large portion. I plodded then half way through in desperation I put the rest in my pocket. I remember a pretty green dress with white bows and a red stain which the teacher couldn’t help but see! I have never liked beetroot since.

I grow it and love eating it, roasted is a favourite.

I love it. One of my favourite things is beetroot risotto. The rice turns a wonderful deep pink!

I love it I use it weekly in my diet,scouse just wouldn't be the same without a bowl of sliced beetroot.

I do! in fact I love it, I can just eat it on its own, it does discolour other ingredients in salads. It's one of the only foodstuffs one of my sons hates, he'll hoover up practically anything except that! I'm going to give him one those vacuum packets of it for an up and coming birthday, suitably wrapped, before I present him with his actual present

Before Michael Mosley made his proclamation, I read somewhere that any really vivid coloured vegetable, possibly fruit as well is very good for us.

I can take it or leave it. I can't say if i see beetroot out on view I HAVE to have some, but if it is on my plate in a cafe etc then I will eat it, its ok....

I don’t dislike beetroot, but it’s not something I eat very often, although if I’m ever served it with a meal I always enjoy it more than I expect to. However, The Wonderful Man loves it and we grow tons of the stuff; it gets boiled and is pickled in huge kilner jars (his job, not mine), he especially likes it roasted fresh with a cheese sauce.

No I find it revolting. Tried it raw once when juicing and tbh it tasted like dirt.

I love it but it stains so much I never eat it at home. Beetroot, walnut and goats cheese salad was all the in thing in restaurants a few years ago but sadly seems to have fallen from favour.

I love beetroot but don't eat it that often. Must add it to my shopping list.

I love it - I use it in a salad ….makes everything pink !

He's always advising us about some fad or other.

I love it. I buy the juice sometimes as well.

I like it and also the leaves, which make a good veg or soup. I decided to sow many more seeds than normal this year. It is an easy veg to grow for leaf pickings before the root is ready

Only pickled. Love pickled baby beetroot.

It’s a beautiful colour but I don’t like the taste so don’t eat it.
