Beetroot

[Leonard Hatred]

In my opinion, the most underrated of root crops.

Discuss.

Beetroot is the food of the Devil. I had an awful experience at a family party when I was a kid. I indulged in too much of the stuff. Resulting in me chucking up all over my Aunts & Uncles new carpet. Needless to say they weren't impressed. Neither was my Old Man when he received the cleaning bill.

Blimey! Hopefully your old man was more pissed off with his siblings sending him a bill than with you!

Nice cooked with some white fish, balsamic vinegar and oregano.

Just wrap in foil and bung in oven for about 20 mins on low 

Lovely.

Very healthy food full of vitamins, antioxidants  and minerals It’s related to the Swiss Chard you know

I like it picked or in salad with black olives and a lemon and olive oil dressing. Otherwise it’s too sweet I find.

I am growing beetroot at pur allotment.  

[Hello Mrs. Jones]

Accepting the likely risk of sounding metrosexual, i like to juice it with an apple and fresh ginger

MA.

I myself would lose a lot more than the Pineapple ring. What she has in a burger would feed half of India for a week.

No mushrooms?

Is she really Australian?

I love it. I remember the first time i ate too much of it and a day or two after my shit was red I was relieved to find out this was normal and that I didn't have a serious illness.

It's good for high blood pressure I believe.

Eat to much and your poo goes red though which can be a bit alarming.

I like it in a salad with walnuts. I forget I eat it. Then have a piss and panic. Gets me every time.

I bet Hammer and Pickle is itching to get involved in this Groupchat about grub.

Remember loving Beetroot with mash when I was and kid. Someone mentioned burgers. My Australian Mrs has the following: Burger,bacon,fried egg,cheese,Lettuce,Gherkins slice,pineapple ring or Beetroot and burger sauce. Fucking savage!

Ok I almost got a semi just thinking about it but you mad man, take out the pineapple ring, why ruin it!?

It's a car crash on a plate. By the time I serve it up its about three fucking feet high!

That sounds good to me!

My mother always used to (over) boil parsnips for Sunday Lunch.

Over boiling seems to be a common feature of most 'mothers' of a certain time period.

We always used to joke that my mother would put the veg on for Christmas around November...

Sounds like a blow out from Jake's or The Mocha.

I'm on 2 or 3 jars a week.
The best in the world is "Ballymaloe", irish brand - can't be beet . .

Festival i'm at has vegan catering so have eaten beetroot twice already today. In Australia they use it a lot (burgers etc). 

[Mike Oxsaw]

I do like beetroot in its many forms but I would also put a mention in for PARSNIPS 
Shamefully under used

My mother always used to (over) boil parsnips for Sunday Lunch.

Some bint I was dating at the time said they should be roasted, like potatoes. Mentioned it to mother and she looked at me as if I'd just stepped off the first space ship from Mars, but she let me try roasting then one Sunday.

Whole family - especially Dad - decided that was the way parsnips would be served in Oxsaw Snr. Towers from that point on.
