As a child, I used to absolutely hate it. I always remember going round to a friend's house and her Mum used to serve it with everything & I could never understand why. My clearest memory is of being served spaghetti bolognese (which I loved) with a portion of beetroot on the side. I was brought up "old school" so was under strict instructions to eat whatever I was given....and I used to dread it!
Fast forward a few years (well, go on then a few more than that!) and I absolutely love it. I tend to buy the organic ready cooked version and bung it into any salad or side dish going. But I do also buy it raw and either juice it up or add it to dishes. (Or I cheat completely and buy this).
And now, to feed my addiction I've discovered this site completely dedicated to beetroot. Some of the recipes look delicious especially this one for radish & beetroot chutney.
So beetroot - do you love it, hate or couldn't say either way?!
